Illy — Cigarettes

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

Hi!
This is a great song by a great Australian artist!
The way I play is super simple on guitar, just 4 chords over and over again!

tldr: Am, F, C, G

When playing the G, I try to skip over the high E string, as it changes the sound vastly. Try it and see
what I mean! I've also been experimenting with the G being
E|--0--
B|--1--
G|--0--
D|--0--
A|--2--
E|--3--
as I think it sounds really nice during the verses. For the intro keep the original G, and for the
last lines of the verses. But yeah, those 4 chords over and over, but in case you want to follow
the lyrics too, (and I think I got the timings right) here goes:

         Am
He draws out, the cigarette smoke trail spins
F
Thoughts crowd the room, 'til it's only him
   C
He feels it, he lives for it
                  G
Spent half a life pushing it forward, what he wouldn't give for it
Am
Saw naysayers put in their places
F
Feels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness
C
Holding all four aces, he braced
        G
for the next few years being some for the ages
Am
No time to heed, pride come before the fall
F
For now he shines, all rose, no thorn
C
Full bloom, like his plan fool proof
     G
High noon sun beaming, spoke too soon
    Am
The dark clouds scream towards his door
      F
and a house of cards, it cant stand in the storm
C
Wind picked up, sunshine stopped
    G
The world came down with the very first drop

Am                          F
  So light me up, like a cigarette
                C                     G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am                     F
  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
        C                             G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn

Am
He still gunning, beaten but refused to be broken
F
What some call delusional others call focus
    C
Man he's focussed, came back for the re up
G
Nows not the time to kick back with his feet up
Am
Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens
        F
And his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in
C
World keep kicking hard, aint gonna get him
     G
He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in
Am
And thats a bittersweet faith 
                 F
Knowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks
     C                                                        G
It's pride, it's madness, it's seeing what others can only imagine
And then reaching out to grab it
   Am
Saying "I can say that whatever comes happens
      F
but I followed my heart, goddamn it"
         C
Exposing reality to magic
                                G
It's hope, and thats all it is, he walked through fire and its all he came back with, saying

Am                          F
  So light me up, like a cigarette
                C                     G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am                     F
  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
        C                             G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn

Am
Come what may, some memories fade
    F
But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made
C
Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain
G
  It's been a while since then but who's counting
Am                                   F                                              C
He lies awake, lies in wait, for the light of the morning to bless him, and shine again
Summon the rise of the fallen
G
Laces tied, comeback trail still walking
Am                                 F
Lives for it, lifetime on the mish for it

  Man, there aint a thing he didn't give for it
C
  Make a bet till his last sun sets
G
  He'll be pushing for the light, mate he ain't done yet
Am
Head held high slow danced through his hell
F
Still a point there he gotta prove to himself
         C
And, the beat drops, same songs on next
      G
So he sparks up a cigarette, takes a deep breath and says

Am                          F
  So light me up, like a cigarette
                C                     G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am                     F
  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
        C                             G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn

Am                          F
  So light me up, like a cigarette
                C                     G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am                     F
  Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
        C                             G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn



Thank you Illy
