A Trick of the Tail Genesis
Intro: F#m ? E6 ? D6maj7 ? E6
[F#m]Bored of the l[E6]ife in the [D6maj7]city of [E6]gold
He'd l[E]eft and let [F#m]nobody kn[B]ow
G[F#m]one were the t[E6]owers he[D6maj7] had known from a c[E6]hild
Al[E]one with the d[F#m]ream of a [B]life
He tr[C#]avelled the w[F#]ide open r[G#]oad
The blinkered ar[Fm]cade
In search of an[G#]other to s[F#]hare in his [Db/F]life
N[Eb]owh[Bb]ere[C#]
[D#m]Everyone l[F#]ooked so str[G#]ange to him
They've [D#m]got no horns and they've got no tail
They [G#m]don't even know of our existence
Am I w[D#m]rong to believe in a city of gold
That li[G#m]es in the deep distance, he cried
And wept as they led him away to a cage
"Beast that can talk", read the sign
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again
But soon they grew bored of their prey
Beast that can talk ?
More like a freak or publicity stunt
Oh, no
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And broke do[Eb]wn the door of the cage and marched on o[Db]ut
He gr[G#]abbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing o[Eb]ut[F7]
[Bb]There, beyond the [Bbmaj7]bounds of your w[Eb]eak imagi[Bb]nation
[Bb]Lie the noble t[Bbmaj7]owers of my c[Eb]ity, bright and g[F]old
[Eb]Let [F]me t[G]ake you there and s[F]how you a living sto[C]ry[Eb]
[Bb]Let me show you ot[C#]hers such as [Eb]me
Why did [G#m]I ever l[C#]eave ?
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
And wept
And so we set out with the beast and his horns
And his crazy description of home
After many days journey we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out
We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw
A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard
They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried
F#m ? E6 ? D6maj7 ? E6

supposed to be D-B-C#-F#. If anyone know a better name for this chord, please comment or PM me :)
