Distant Sun
Crowded House
from "Together Alone"
Capo 1st fret
 
[Intro]
| D   | G   | x4
 
[Verse]
D                                  G
Tell me all the things you would change
   D                              G
I don't pretend to know what you want
          Bm                      E
When you come around and spin my top
          G               F#
Time and again, time and again
     D                    G
No fire where I lit my spark
D                       G
I am not afraid of the dark
       Bm                   E
Where your words devour my heart
                G
And put me to shame, put me to shame
 
[Chorus]
 A                   Em
Your seven worlds collide
    G         A         D
Whenever I am by your side
 A                   Em
Dust from a distant sun
       G           A    D   G
Will shower over everyone
 
[Instrumental]
| D   | G
 
[Verse]
        D                           G
You're still so young to travel so far
D                           G
Old enough to know who you are
Bm                         E
Wise enough to carry the scars
               G                       F#
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame
D                               G
It's easy to forget what you learnt
D                            G
Waiting for the thrill to return
Bm                   E
Feeling your desire burn
                   G
And drawn to the flame
 
[Chorus]
 A                   Em
Your seven worlds collide
    G         A         D
Whenever I am by your side
 A                   Em
Dust from a distant sun
       G           A    D
Will shower over everyone
 A                   Em
Dust from a distant sun
       G           A
Will shower over everyone
 
[Bridge]
         Bm           A     G
And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
Bm       A                 G
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
   Bm               A             G
I don't pretend to know what you want
But (I offer love?)
 
[Solo]
| A   | Em  | G A D |
| A   | Em  | G A D |
 
[Chorus]
 A                   Em
Your seven worlds collide
    G         A         D
Whenever I am by your side
 A                   Em
Dust from a distant sun
 G           A        D
Will shower over everyone
 
[Outro]
| F#  | G   | Gsus2 |
 
Bm            F# G  Gsus2
As time slips by
 
| D   | F#  | G   | Gsus2 |
 
| Bm  | F#  | G   | Gsus2 |

This is right, but I think it is capo 3 with everything down a tone from here (i.e. C, F, C, F) ... the only reason I say this is because then you can get that Csus2 --> C --> Csus2 progression that you can definitely hear at the start of the song.

Lack of formatting. Put chords on whole song, people do use the scroll function, ad these tabs are useless for that, plus it's hard to pinpoint where the chords fall on untabbed verses.

Fantastic tab, thank you so much!! I've loved this song all my life :)
