Colwater High

(Ian Hunter)

one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four
&Bb F/A Fm/Ab C/G
Silently spoken, days of our lives
&Cdim5/F# F G C F/c Rooms that are broken inside
&Bb F/A
I need your violence
&Fm/Ab C/G
Songs in the air
&Cdim5/F# F G C
Call me 'til I don't care
&C G/B Am
You're a sight for sore eyes
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G C
I'm the one who'll always be around
& G/B Am
To pick up your lies
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G
I will be your slave forever
&Bb F/A Fm/Ab C/G
Millions of daydreams, lost in your hair
& Cdim5/F# F G C F/C
You call me but I'm never there
&Bb F/A Fm/Ab C/G
Crowds in our Venus, screaming for you
& Cdim5/F# F G C
But there's only one dream
&C G/B Am
You're a sight for sore eyes
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G C
I'm the one who'll always be around
& G/B Am To pick up your lies
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G A
I will be your slave forever
&Am Am#7/Ab C/G
Until the day my heart breaks down
& Cdim5/F# F
'til the roof is caving in
& E F
And my ego hits the ground
& G C
And you're my (?)
&C G/B Am
You're a sight for sore eyes
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G C
I'm the one who'll always be around
& G/B Am
To pick up your lies
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G A
I will be your slave forever
&C G/B Am
You're a sight for sore eyes
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G C
I'm the one who'll always be around
& G/B Am
To pick up your lies
&E F C/E
Colwater High, remember me
&F G A
I will be your slave forever

The problem is it's a completely piano song, and I don't have a piano, nor am I a piano player. So I had to borrow a keyboard for a short while, then reborrowed it later to finish up. This is as close as I could get with the available time and resources. But I reckon it's "better than nothing" ;) (Greg Luker)
