The Glow, Part 2 The Microphones
The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
Tabbed by Jack Jutson
The intro is a bit strange, i think there are 2 guitars playing it. But heres the
basic chords to get you going. Just power chords F-C-C#. You work out the timing
for yourself, its pretty simple.
[F] [C] [C#]
E|---x----------x-----------x----- B|---x----------x-----------x----- D|---2----------5-----------6----- G|---3----------5-----------6----- A|---3----------3-----------4----- F|---1----------x-----------x-----
Once the distorted intro is through, Phils acoustic comes in and plays the
following three chords.
[Em] [Em11(7)] [A7] [(sus2)]
e|--0-------x--------x---| B|--0-------x--------x---| G|--0-------0--------2---| D|--2-------4--------5---| A|--2-------0--------0---| E|--0-------2--------3---|
[Em]i took my [Em11]shirt off in the [A7]yard/no one [Em]saw that the [Em11]skin on my shoulder was [A7]golden
now it's [Em]not, my shirts back [Em11]on/i forgot my [A7]songs/the glow is gone
[Em11]my [Em]gliding [Em11]body [A7]stopped
(Here, the guitar stops playing, but you can still strum the chords, or play it
however you want. Or you can get a big organ and do it that way. Up to you.)
[Em]i could not get through sep[Em11]tember without a [A7]battle
i [Em11]face [Em]death, i went [Em11]in with my arms [A7]swinging
but i heard my own [Em]breath, and i had to [Em11]face that i'm still [A7]living
i'm still [Em]flesh, i hold [Em11]onto awful [A7]feelings
i'm not [Em]dead, there's no [Em11]end, my face is [A7]red
(And this bit here where phil does the really long notes is just crazy ambient
organs that dont fit into the guitar. Im sure there is a way, but not in my head,
so someone else come up with something.)
my blood flows harshly/my heart beats loudly
my chest still draws breath, i hold it, i'm buoyant
there's no end.
(heres the intrumental part at the end. Its only the really basic form, he mucks
around a bit, and has another guitar and a bass i do believe. This should just
get you going.)
