Eric's Song Vienna Teng
I was surprised to find this song wasn't covered anywhere I could find, so I took it
myself to throw together the closest interpretation I could manage. There's a lot of
in the recording, she often will flit between the A and an Asus2 from the sounds of it,
these chords played in an arpeggio style work quite well for be. Please feel free to send
comments, corrections or questions to zarathustras_crown@yahoo.com :) hope you enjoy
intro:
[A] [E]
Verse:
Strange how [A]you know inside [E]me
I [F#m]measure the [F#m7]time and I stand a[D]mazed[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]I know in[E]side you
My [F#m]hand is out[F#m7]stretched toward the [D]damp of the [Dsus2]haze
chorus:
And of [A]course I for[E]give
I've [A]seen how you [E]live
Like a [F#m]phoenix you [F#m7]rise from the [E]ashes
You [D]pick up the [Dsus2]pieces
And the [A]ghosts in the [E]attic
They [F#m]never [F#m7]quite [D]leave[Dsus2]
And of [A]course I for[E]give
You've [A]seen how I [E]live
I've got [F#m]darkness and [F#m7]fears to [E]appease
My [D]voices and a[Dsus2]nalogies
Amb[A]itions like [E]ribbons
Worn [F#m]brig[F#m7]ht on my s[D]leeve[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]we know each [E]other
[A] [E]
Strange how [A]I fit into [E]you
There's a [F#m]distance er[F#m7]ased with the [D]greatest of [Dsus2]ease
Strange how [A]you fit into [E]me
A [F#m]gentle warmth [F#m7]filling the [D]deepest of [Dsus2]needs
And with [A]each passing [E]day
The [A]stories we [E]say
Draw us [F#m]tighter [F#m7]into our [E]addiction
Con[D]firm our con[Dsus2]viction
That [A]some kind of [E]miracle
[F#m]Passed [F#m7]on our [D]hands[Dsus2]
And [A]how I am [E]sure
Like [A]never be[E]fore
Of my [F#m]reasons for de[F#m7]fying [E]reason
Emb[D]racing the [Dsus2]seasons
We [A]dance through the [E]colors
Both [F#m]followed and [D]led[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]we fit each [E]other
(bridge. I THINK this is largely variations on the A E theme from the intro with the
D and Dsus2 thrown in. Unfortunately I'm not 100% on this part)
[A] [E]
Strange how [A]certain the [E]journey
Time [F#m]unfolds the [F#m7]petals
For [D]our eyes to [Dsus2]see
Strange how [A]this journey's [E]hurting
In [F#m]ways we [F#m7]accept as part of [D]fate's dec[Dsus2]ree
So we [A]just hold on [E]fast
Ac[A]knowledge the [E]past
As [F#m]lessons ex[F#m7]quisitely [E]crafted
Pain[D]stakingly [Dsus2]drafted
To [A]carve us as [E]instruments
T[F#m]hat play the music of [D]life[Dsus2]
For we [A]don't rea[E]lize
Our [A]faith in the [E]prize
Un[F#m]less it's been [F#m7]somehow [E]elusive
How [D]swiftly we [Dsus2]choose it
The [A]sacred sim[E]plicity
[F#m]Of yo[F#m7]u at my [D]side[Dsus2]
A E to coda
