"About Face" Out of the Blue ! This is my first attempt at tabbing a song, so please excuse any mistakes ! that I may have made. Gilmour does a wonderful job with this song - quite ! a lot of keyboard fillers and synthesization is used to create the musical ! effect, but I've provided the chord changes, so it should be pretty easy ! to piece together and play on either piano or guitar. ! Note: I put the chords above the word to play on. However, since the song ! is slow tempo, you'll have to hear the song to know where to play the chord ! inside of the lyric. > Bb F Verse: Out of the blue, > Bb F On the wings of a dove, > Bb F A messenger comes, > C with the beating of drums, > Bb it's not a message of love > Bb F Our children are born, > Bb F and we keep them warm, > Bb F they must have the right > C to live in the light, > Bb to be safe from the storm. > Bb F And out of the blue, > Bb F with wings on his heels, > Bb F a messenger comes, > C bearing regrets > Bb for the time that he steals. > Bb F But steal it he will, > Bb F my children's and mine, > Bb F against our desires, > C against all our needs, > Bb our blood spilled like wine. > Dm > Dm C Bb Chorus: Over and over we call, > Dm No one hears... and further > C Bb F and further and further we fall... > Dm C Bb Though we brave it, we soon will have wait > Dm C It is clear that it's no dream at all, > Bb F our lives are at stake. > Bb C > Bb F Verse: I cannot believe... > Bb F nor even pretend... > Bb F that the thunder I hear, > C will just disappear, > Bb and the nightmare will end. > Bb F So hold back the fire, > Bb F because this much is true, > Bb F when all's said and done, > C then ending will come, > Bb from out of the blue. > F Bb |
