Survival In The Wild - Adrian Belew
As recorded on the amazing "Here" album
D2 (sitar - similar to vocals)
Unde[D2]rneath a burning sky
the te[G]nants of the f[D2]ire
sit in si[D2]lence as they ponder
sur[F#-6]vival in the w[G]ild

With our l[D2]ove to keep us up
there is n[G]othing in the w[G/F#]orld
that can knock us [E-]down
we can t[D2]ake whatever comes
if we f[G]ace it hand in [G/F#]hand
we can stand our [E-]ground[A]
Just a [F#-]couple of kids with c[G]louds in our heads
trying to [E-]swim upstream; trying to [A]make it good[A7]
but it h[F#-]appened so fast; when d[G]isaster came
that a r[E-]iver of teardrops couldn't [A]wash it away[A7]

How do we [D2]now view ourselves,
sitting [G]victims in a s[G/F#]helter needing h[E-]elp?
How do we [D2]now regain control
over the r[G]emnants of our [G/F#]life without a h[E-]ome?[A]
If a [F#-]bomb had hit us, nothing l[G]ess would remain
not a [E-]wall to lean on; not a [A]fork or a plate[A7]
but at l[F#-]east we made it out and we're [G]still alive
and we're s[E-]tarting over now in the [A]middle of the night[A7]

[G] [G/F#] [E-] [A]
It's a ma[E-]tter of t[F#-]ime; a st[G]ruggle to su[D]rvive
but it d[E-]oesn't n[F#-]eed to [G]be a lonely fi[D]ght
if we s[E-]tand by each [F#-]other
we'll be s[G]ure of our s[A]urvival in the [D2]wild

As always, fell free to make this tab better.
This is one of the most "indian" song in "Here"...as the title track, almost
impossible to re-write.
I love the vocal line, and the way Adrian sings.
Simply amazing.
Thank you Ade.
