an incredibly easy song to put together, and it sounds impressive.
WHITE SHADOWS
Organ:
Full band: | | | (all over
bass)
(add9)
1. When I was a young boy I tried to listen
2. If you ever feel like something's missing
3. When I was a young boy, I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
things you'll never understand
Don't you wanna feel like that?
(add9)
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten
You're part of the human race, all of the stars in the outer space
Part of a system, I am
Part of a system, a plan
Part of a system, I am
Interlude (after verse 1)
| | | (all over bass)
Pre-chorus (after verses 2 and 3):
(add9)
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Ooh oh ooh____________
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state, a permanent state
(organ only)
Swim out on a sea of faces
The tide of the human races, oh
An answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun rising and
See it break on your horizon, oh
Come on love, stay with me
(fade out)
