The Descent Chords

   
Bob Mould - The Descent
-----------------------

Nice and simple song, not 100% sure if correct, just a rough draft -
you can use powerchords only as well, maybe mix it up a little...

Intro:
------
A  F#m  D (4x)

Verse:
------
C#m                     D
I started out so starry-eyed 
                         A F#m D (2x)
Full of hope and wonder 
C#m                      D
And I wore flowers in my hair 
                         A F#m D (2x)
Not aware I'd been defiled 

Bridge:
-------
E      D                 E           D
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down 
E        D               E       D
(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around 

Chorus:
-------
A  Bm        D
I know this ride, you must be there by my side 
A  Bm      D          
You going down, I must be descending 

(play Intro and Verse like before)

I didn't want to play the song 
That gave people so much hope 
I turned my back and turned away 
Here's the rope that made me choke 

(Every time I see you) I know it's going down 
(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around

D       A            Bm    (repeat)
You can see it in my eyes 
You can read it on my face 
You can hear it as I cry 
God, I hope it's not too late 
Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?

Solo-Part:
----------
F#m  E  Bm  D (2x)

D       A            Bm   
You can see it in my eyes 
                      D
You can read it on my face
        A            Bm
You can hear it as I cry 
                         D     A
God, I hope it's not too late 
      Bm                           D      A
Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 
      Bm             A  F#m  (E)   D
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?

       A               Bm
Now my race is finally run
                       D 
And as I tumble to the sun
          A                 Bm 
All these dreams I can't achieve
           A  F#m     (E)  D
Brought me crashing to my knees 
My descent has now begun 
All the music left undone 
My world, it is descending

(play D A Bm A F#m (E) D until the end, end on D)
