Lyrics:
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life...
Trying to make ends meet , you're a slave to the money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the pain lives ,
yeah.
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...
I can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no
Well I never pray,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me, yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanze my mind , I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can change, I can change...)
Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die.
You know I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)

5. Catching The Butterfly
The opening bass line kicks in:
Gwith an organ that sounds like it's breathing
G|----------------------------------|
D|------5h7---5h7---5--7---5---7----| repeated through the song
A|----------------------------------|
E|---5------------------------------|
The lead guitar uses some kind of sustaining effect that
sounds almost like an E-bow. I'm not sure what he actually
uses, but you can get a similar effect by using a wah pedal.
Start with the pedal all the way back and slowly press down
a little bit.
The subtle decending lead guitar at the beginning:
E|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D|---11----\--------(7)-------------|---7--------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
And the main riff:
E|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
D|-11----------9--------12----------|---9------11------7-----9---(7---5)-|
A|-(0)=====-------------(0)====-----|--(0)=====--------------------------|
E|--9----------7--------10----------|---7-------9------5-----7---(5---3)-|
(It sounds good if you let the A string drone)
A guitar pretty much mimics the vocal melody during the verses.
Another guitar improvises on muted A barre chords.
And the chorus goes something like:
A
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly in that

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/verve/urban_hymns_tab.html ]
Verse 1:
So you were born and so you saw
The beauty's eyes to keep and hold
Oh child within has healing ways
It sees me through my darkest days
Chours:
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine.
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine.
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
Verse 2:
Something known through life no fun
I wanna feel, I wanna run
Chorus:
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine. * (with fill 1)
(x2)
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
(Solo)
Chours:
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine.
Keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine. * (with fill 2)
I'm gonna keep catching the butterfly
in that dream of mine. * (with fill 3)
Outro:
My darkest dreams
My darkest dreams
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
I see through you,
You see through me...
Belive in me..
To be in the light...

Escape loneliness
Find a new address
Stood before I sink

Say good-bye to my new friends
Escape from loneliness
I found a new address
In the last room
I hear a boom
Someone else's distress
In a neon wilderness
Someone else's distress
In a neon wilderness
And I hear a boom
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
For a new address

He was restless
Escape loneliness
