Exilarating Sadness

>From Eddie@scruffys.demon.co.uk

the very 'basic' riff goes like
g-7-7-7-42-4-24-4-4-67-7-6-4-2
b------------------------------
e------------------------------


G                     C
You were sitting in a cafe
     Am           D
at a table by the juke-box
G              C               Am
Making cups of coffee last for years
G                   C
You never heard the fanfare
      Am               D  
never saw the sunshine rising 
C                         Am
and the summer slipped in unnoticed 
                  D
from beneath your tears


The following verses are played the same as the first,

The pounding big bass rhythm
shook the room, shook your little heart
all the talk that whistled through your ears 
You were minding your own buisness 
but you were everybody elses
and the summer slipped in unnoticed 
from beneath your tears

All the girls around you 
were captured by your presence
your lucid features admired and revered
Deep in your eyes I recognise 
exhilarating sadness
And the summer slipped in unnoticed 
from beneath your tears

This mid section goes as follows

C
Time flew bye
D
You moved on
C                        D
The shop street days are long since gone 
C
All of the laughter 
D
and all of the tears
C                Am                   D
I still see your likeness through the years
