The Fog Chords & Lyrics by Rachel Sermanni
The Fog
guitar chords lyrics
As the other chords' version might sound fine but is completely different to what Rachel
plays, here is the one given me by a good man who managed to figure it out. It sounds
really good and fairly close to the original to me.
Here are the (few) chords played:
Fm = x24432
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] = x04432
[ch]Fm/Db[/ch] = 3x4432
Em = x13321
[ch]Fm/C[/ch] = 2x4432
C9 = 212020
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch] = x7897x
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch] (Bb down octave) = 078970
Ebsus2sus4 = x02430
Db = 355433
C = 24432
Db6 = 355400
Bbm = 022000
Eb = 577655
G = x4666x
Put a capo on the 6th fret and follow this basic picking (Fm example):
E|---------------|
B|----3-3----3-3-|
G|----4-4----4-4-|
D|---------------|
A|-2-2----2-2----|
E|---------------|
I hope it is clear enough... yes I know that the names of the chords are not related to
the capo (forgive me), but the fingering is.
Shall we begin then?

Deep deep down under mountains I have heard them call my name

Deep deep down I've been waiting for the fighting to begin
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch]
Hold my hands on
Fm [ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] [ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
Deep sleep now, under skies of pressing dark upon my dress
Em Fm
Watch it turn from white to red under the bone clean moon
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] [ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
I am clinging to this burning shaking bed

My bloody hands up

Mercy, mercy, I've been caught

Lying with my darkest thought

They grab my wings and pin me to the wall

Fm
From the neighbouring town
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] [ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
There's a boy who comes to sing upon our street
Em Fm
I watch him from the window thinking deep deep down
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] [ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
He'd be richer if he just became a thief
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch]
Instead he holds his hands out
Fm [ch]Fm/Eb[/ch]
I walk down to the river
[ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
Stand and shiver in the wind
Em Fm
Throw stones to watch them sinking to the icy blue
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch] [ch]Fm/Db[/ch] Fm
Let it rise above my ankles
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch]
I don't want this darkness
[ch]C7/Bb[/ch] (Bb down octave) Fm C Db6
But the sun just falls from the sky
CHORUS (SSSSTRUM!)
CHORUS (PALM MUTE, STRRRRUM!)
INTRO (PICKED)
If anything I wrote is wrong it is because it is 2:38 in the morning... and if it is
right instead, then thank that good man, as I already said.
Have fun spending - at least - one week learning how to play this song.
I shall soon be writing the tab to Sleep aswell.
Good night for now!
Marlene
