Distant Sun
By Neil Finn / Crowded House
The other versions posted never seemed quite right to me. Today, I
found a cover version someone recorded and posted on YouTube. The
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 Fmaj7
Tell me all the things you would change
C Fmaj7
I don't pretend to know what you want
Am D9
When you come around and spin my top
F E
Time and again, time and again
C Fmaj7
No fire where I lit my spark
C Fmaj7
I am not afraid of the dark
Am D9
Where your words devour my heart
F E
And put me to shame, put me to shame
Chorus:
G Dm7
Your seven worlds collide
F G C
Whenever I am by your side
G Dm7
Dust from a distant sun
F G C
Will shower over everyone
Fmaj7| C | Fmaj7
C Fmaj7
You're still so young to travel so far
C Fmaj7
Old enough to know who you are
Am D9
Wise enough to carry the scars
F E
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame
C Fmaj7
It's easy to forget what you learned
C Fmaj7
Waiting for the thrill to return
Am D9
Feeling your desire burn
F
And drawn to the flame
(Chorus, then repeat second phrase)
G Dm7
Dust from a distant sun
F G
Will shower over everyone
Bridge:
Am D9 F
And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
Am D9 F
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
Am D9 F
I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love...
G | Dm7 | F | G | C
G | Dm7 | F | G | C
G Dm7
Seven worlds will collide
F G C
Whenever I am by your side
G Dm7
Dust from a distant sun
F G C
Will shower over everyone
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)
the E major should be an E7
