Down To Earth Chords

   
When I looked up tabs for this song, I found that they were all horribly wrong!  I 
hope this is a little better.  Please leave constructive criticism in the comments 
as this is my first tab.



Verse 1:

          B              C#             B          C#
Did you think that your feet had been bound

           B       C#            B        C#
By what gravity brings to the ground?

         G#m            E
Did you feel you were tricked

         G#m        E
By the future you picked?

               B      C#     B     C#
Well, come on down


           G#m         E
All those rules don’t apply

            G#m          E
When you’re high in the sky

             B      C#
So, come on down

         B
Come on down



Chorus:

              F#           C#
We’re coming down to the ground

             F#            C#
There’s no better place to go

           F#             C#
We’ve got snow up on the mountains

           F#           C#
We’ve got rivers down below

              F#          C#
We’re coming down to the ground

             F#                C#
We hear the birds sing in the trees

          F#               C#
And the land will be looked after

             F#               C#
We send the seeds out in the breeze



Verse 2:

B     C# x2

          B            C#           B        C#
Did you think you’d escaped from routine

    B            C#               B        C#
By changing the script and the scene?


G#m              E 
Despite all you made of it

        G#m      E   
You’re always afraid

        B        C#     B      C#
Of the change

              G#m         E
You’ve got a lot on your chest

               G#m        E
Well, you can come as my guest

             B      C#
So come on down

          B  
Come on down



Chorus:

              F#           C#
We’re coming down to the ground

             F#            C#
There’s no better place to go

           F#             C#
We’ve got snow up on the mountains

           F#           C#
We’ve got rivers down below

              F#          C#
We’re coming down to the ground

             F#                C#
We hear the birds sing in the trees

          F#               C#
And the land will be looked after

             F#               C#
We send the seeds out in the breeze



Bridge:

                      B
Like the fish in the ocean

                        C#
We felt at home in the sea

                           B
We learned to live off the good land
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/peter_gabriel/down_to_earth_crd.html ]
                       C#
Learned to climb up a tree

                       B
Then we got up on two legs

                C#
But we wanted to fly

                       B
When we messed up our homeland

                     C#
We set sail for the sky

We’ve got rivers down below

And the land will be looked after

We’re coming down

                 F#       C#
Coming down to Earth

                F#       C#
Like babies at birth

                 F#       C#
