Life Becoming a Landslide 


Track 5 - Gold Against the Soul 

  This song uses two guitars an electric and an acoustic. The acoustic plays
the riff in verse 1 while the electric plays the rest of the song, both are
played in dropped 'D' tuning, i.e. the low 'E' string is tuned down by one
whole tone. The bass is also tuned this way

(riff A)
 Very first second a screaming icon
(riff A)
 Babies in barely even recognize
(riff A)
 Words that once stroked now brusing tired lips

     Gm7               C
 My idea of love comes from
             Gm7               C
 A childhood glimps of pornography
              Gm7        C
 Though there is no true love
        G5                 C5
 Just a finely tuned jealousy


Chorus
                 F          Dsus4  Dm
 Life becoming a landslide
     Bb              C
 Ice freezing nature dead
                 F          Dsus4  Dm
 Life becoming a landslide
         Bb         C
 I don't wanna be a man


Verse 2

Riff B
  Every            day               more numb to    agony

(riff B)
 This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
(riff B)
 One day I realise oil on canvas
(riff B)
 Can never paint a petal so so delicate
