Distant Sun Crowded House
Distant Sun
By Neil Finn / Crowded House
The other versions posted never seemed quite right to me. Today, I
chords sound much closer to the original CH version, so I watched
his finges and worked out the chords for myself. I'm not entirely
certain about some of the chord *names* (I used a chord name lookup
tool), but the fingerings seem pretty right. Enjoy!
Sounds good with capo at 2nd Fret

Intro:
C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7
[C]Tell me all the things you would c[Fmaj7]hange
[C]I don't pretend to know what you w[Fmaj7]ant
[Am]When you come around and spin my [D9]top
Time and agai[F]n, time and a[E]gain
[C]No fire where I lit my s[Fmaj7]park
[C]I am not afraid of the d[Fmaj7]ark
[Am]Where your words devour my [D9]heart
And put me to sha[F]me, put me to [E]shame
Chorus:
[G]Your seven worlds coll[Dm7]ide
[F]Whenever I am [G]by your [C]side
[G]Dust from a distant [Dm7]sun
[F]Will shower over [G]every[C]one
Fmaj7| C | Fmaj7
[C]You're still so young to travel so [Fmaj7]far
[C]Old enough to know who you [Fmaj7]are
[Am]Wise enough to carry the [D9]scars
Without any [F]blame, there's no-one to [E]blame
[C]It's easy to forget what you l[Fmaj7]earned
[C]Waiting for the thrill to ret[Fmaj7]urn
[Am]Feeling your desire [D9]burn
And drawn to the [F]flame
(Chorus, then repeat second phrase)
[G]Dust from a distant [Dm7]sun
[F]Will shower over e[G]veryone
Bridge:
[Am]And I'm lying on the [D9]table[F] washed out in the flood
[Am]Like a [D9]Christian fearing[F] vengeance from above
[Am]I don't pretend to [D9]know what you[F] want
But I offer love...
G | Dm7 | F | G | C
G | Dm7 | F | G | C
[G]Seven worlds will [Dm7]collide
[F]Whenever I am [G]by your [C]side
[G]Dust from a distant [Dm7]sun
[F]Will shower over [G]every[C]one
E | F | Fsus2
C | E | F | Fsus2
As time slips by ...
C | E | F | Fsus2
(repeat as desired, maybe throw in some random lyrics like Neil often does)
