Building A Mystery Sarah McLachlan
"Building A Mystery"
Of the Surfacing album
Tabbed By: Roberta Zack
*Sarah uses a capo on the first riff for this song, but these are the
main chords*
*Also Sarah adds little parts in between verse and chorus and switches
some of it around, so I tried to make the song with all those little
parts it sounds really neat that way* = )
Intro: Finger pick these chords in the main intro, then the second time
you strum, then when you go into the verse you can finger pick or
strum.
Asus4-A-Asus4 Main intro: Bm G D6 A-Asus4-A

Verse:
[Bm]You[G] come out at night
[D6]tha[A-Asus4-A]t's when the energy comes

[Bm]you[G] strut your rasta wear

(Chorus)
Bm G D (Or you can use D6 after D it sounds cool either way)
[A-Asus4-A]'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Repeat first Verse.
You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears
Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin
Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine.
Chorus
Bridge:
(Lead). G // A// G// A// Em////
G// A// G// A// G// A// Em/// G// A//.
Then repeat Chorus twice and end "your Building a Mystery.." with D6 A
~If you have any questions email me at wackygurl_32@hotmail.com, this
is my first time tabbing out, and this song was kinda hard with all
those little parts etc. I had to listen to it 6 times before I could
get it right.~
~ I got an email from one of my friends saying they couldn't open the
tab for this song so i thought I would send it again.~
