                                                  bass line for guitar
 
[Verse 1]
No chord (Dm implied)  A7                          Dm (lick 1)
 We passed upon the stairs, We spoke of was and when
                     A7 (lick 2)               F (Lick 3)
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
                          C (lick 4)       G(note)A (lick 5, in place of chords)
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes
                       Dm                     C (riff 2)
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               F
Oh no,(riff 2)  not me (riff 3)
 
 
  Db
I never lost control (riff 4)
 
 F (riff 3)
 
C                         F
You're face (riff 2)      to face (riff 3)
 
         Db(riff 4)            A (repeat intro)
with the man who sold the world
 
 
[Verse 2]
repeat licks 1-6
(Dm)no chord             A7(2)                     Dm (1)
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
                          A7 (2)                         F(3)
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
                    C(4)                 G    A (5, in place of chords)
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
                    Dm (6)                   C (riff 2)
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               F
Oh no,(riff 2)  not me (riff 3)
 
 
  Db
I never lost control (riff 4)
 
 F (riff 3)
 
C                         F
You're face (riff 2)      to face (riff 3)
 
         Db(riff 4)            A (repeat intro)
with the man who sold the world
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               F
Oh no,(riff 2)  not me (riff 3)
 
 
  Db
I never lost control (riff 4)
 
 F (riff 3)
 
C                         F
You're face (riff 2)      to face (riff 3)
 
         Db(riff 4)            A (repeat intro)
with the man who sold the world
