I am sitting still, I think of Angelique
Her mothers voice over me, and the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
And on a thousandth hill, I think of Albertine
There in her eyes what I don't see with my eye oh
Rwanda, now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are
I am on a plane across a distant sea, but I carry you in me
And in the dust on, the dust on, the dust on, the dust on, the dust on
The dust on my feet
I will tell the world, I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word, I will tell them Albertine
I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine, I will tell them, Albertine
The riff is played throughout the song except for the chorus and bridge.
The way I play with the riff and I think Brooke does too is along with Fmaj7,
we play Am/C where we continuously open the 3rd string.
Then to the Am where we do the same with the 3rd and 4th string.
And this is how I play some of the unconventional chords:
: x3221x : x3321x
Just to let you know this is how I interpret this song,
but you could always tweak it your own way so it sounds good to you.
Thanks.
