Artist: INXS
Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006
Standard tuning
This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99%
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings).
It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used.
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore,
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F#
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still
can play along with the album in key without the
trouble of the barre chords.

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time,
C#
but who owns tomorrow?
C# F#
In between the longing to hold you again
C# B F#
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
Bb Ab Bb F#
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
