Atomic Swing


Tom: Em

Intro - C, Am, G, E,
      - C, Am, E   ,
E             Am              D          E       Am      D
Meanwhile the night turns the story into drama       
    E         Am             D          A        B
the clowns to ghosts and the law men to thieves
             Am
I'm sitting alone
D                    Em      
   on the top of the church
D                        Am
   under the clock-tower roof
D                      Am
   I get some hours of trust
D                      C         
   when I am here in the dust
Am                 G                   E
   and picture the world form a little above
       C     Am                E
In the dust,     from a little above


    E            Am          D           E        Am       D
The world sleeps safe on her pillow now, ma'm
        E               Am            D         A          B
and the wind plays with leaves on the staircase below
                  Am
and just like the wind
D                      Em
  I had a playmate who coped
D                 Am
E|------------------|
D                          Am
   when life felt hard and unjust
D                        C
   and we're here in the dust
Am                  G                   E
   and pictured the world from a little above
       C     Am               E
in the dust,    from a little above

(Badampadadadampadam)

              Am
so if you are young
D                   Em
  and almost out of regret
D              Am
  stay forever young
D                              Am
  'cause sparkling youth go to rust

D                          C
  when you are here in the dust
Am                G                   E
  and picture the world from a little above
       C     Am              E
In the dust,    from a little above

       C     Am                G                   E
In the dust,    I'm ringin' the bell for my missing companion
       C     Am               E
In the dust,    from a little above - I bought the world

(((I don't know the chords in the following part but I play the bass here like 
this. This part is not synced with the lyrics )))

C, B, A, G, F#, E, D, C, G, F#, E, D, E, G#, A, B 
In the dust, you know that, you know that I would never, let  you down  
C, B, A, G, F#, E, D, C, E, G#, B, C, C#, B, G#, E
In the dust, you know that, I'd never  -------------------------------

       C     Am                     G                        E
in the dust,    you could have been free, well maybe you are now
       C     Am                         E
in the dust,    you know I never will   be
