Volcano Chords
by Beck178 views, added to favorites 2 times
Based on the studio version from the album Modern Guilt (2008). Includes several variant C, G, E chords which to my ear sound more accurate to the original. Notably, this gives the verses that quality of being neither major nor minor, and also keeps the open high e-string during the choruses to mimic the backing vocals (which take that same pitch) from the original song.Was this info helpful?

(The C* is an optional lead-in to the following G,
but you can just use C if you prefer)
[Verse 1]
E* G* C C*
I've been walking on these feet so long, I don't know,
G B E*
where they're gonna lead anymore.
G* C C*
But I think I must have seen a ghost, I don't know,
G B A
if it's my illusions that keep me alive.
[Chorus 1]
A C E G*
I don't know what I've seen, was it all an illusion? Or a mirage gone bad?
A C E G*
Oh-oh, I'm tired of evil, and all the things, that I don't know...
[Verse 2]
E* G* C C*
And I've been drifting on this wave so long, I don't know,
G B E*
if it's already crashed on the shore.
G* C C*
And I've been riding on this train so long, I can't tell,
G B A
if it's you or me who's driving us into the ground.
[Chorus 3]
A C E G*
I don't know if I'm sane, but there's a ghost in my heart, Who's trying to see in the dark.
A C E G*
Oh-oh, I'm tired of people, Who only want to be pleased, but I still wanna please you...
[Bridge]
G F Em C
And I heard of that Japanese girl, who jumped into the volcano.
A C Em F
Was she trying to make it back, back into the womb of the world?
[Verse 3]
E* G* C C*
I've been drinking all these tears so long, all I've got,
G B E*
left's the taste of salt in my mouth.
E* G* C C* G* B A
(with same pattern as above)
[Chorus 3]
A C E G*
I don't know where I've been, but I know where I'm going, to that volcano.
A C E G*
Oh-oh, I don't want to fall in though, just want to warm my bones on that fire a while...
[Outro]
A C E G*
(You can whistle or hum the chorus melody here if you like)
