Get Behind Me
(Engel)
Intro: Bbadd9(no 3rd)
verse 1
(nc - see notes)
It's the signs as we see them, there's no thresholds at all
There's no vows to be broken as we rise and we fall
There's no noise high above us as the moon turns in space
Just the face of a lady who we loved for her grace
chorus
F Eb/F
Get behind me, get behind
Bb7
Won't you bend my ear again?
F /Eb /Bb
I really need a friend
F Eb/F
Get behind me, get behind me
Bb7
Remind me to remind me
F
Not to go back there again
verse 2
Bb Ab/Bb
When the threads of dark moments start to tremble with sound
Gb/Bb Bb
And an almost formed whisper dies, the boundaries surround
Ab/Bb
We keep reaching beyond us through the shape-shifting clouds
Gb/Bb Bb
Why ain't I like you, brother, so electric, so proud
chorus repeat
verse 3
Bb Ab/Bb
Set us free of this being so we'll be once again
Gb/Bb Bb
So we won't feel the gravity of time
Ab/Bb
And the face in the faces of the loves we move through
Gb/Bb Bb
Reappears in original design
chorus repeat to fade
Notes
There is an ostinato guitar figure which is used in the intro
and the first verse. It goes something like this:
Capo 1st fret
---------------0-----------------
-----------0---------------0-----
-------4---------------4-------4- X2
-7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------0---------------0-
-------0-----0---------0-----0---
-----5-----5---------5-----5----- then repeat first measure
-7-------7-------7-------7-------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
If you keep your capo on the first fret then the chords for the verse
can be conveniently fingered thus:
EADGBE
Bb x07650
Ab/Bb x05430
Gb/Bb x03210
Bb x02220
And the chorus:
F 076400
Eb/F 054200
Bb7 002020
F 022100
Or you could sing the whole thing a semitone lower and discard the capo
altogether.
