The Undercover Man Chords - Van der Graaf Generator

F#m F#sus Here at the glass - F#m F#sus all the usual problems, all the habitual farce. F#m F#sus You ask, in uncertain voice, F#m what you should do, E D as if there were a choice but to carry on C#m miming the song F#m and hope that it all works out right. F#sus Tonight it all seems so strange - F#m/A F#sus/G# my spirit feels rigid, my body deranged; F#m F#sus still that's only from one point of view F#m/A E and we can't have illusion between me and you, D C#m my constant friend, ever close at hand - F#m you and the undercover man. E F#E/G# B/D#

Sax solo over F minor riff Db Eb E B/D# D Ev-en now we are not lost: if you look out at the night G you'll see the colours and the lights seem to say E F G A Bb CBb/D Bb people are not far a-way, at least in distance, B5 and it's only our own dumb resistance C that's making us stay. D C C#dim D G A When the madness comes, let it flood on down and over me sweetly, D G A let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned, D G A let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely, D C C Cmaj7 C let it be who I am. A D G A There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together - D G A the horizon calls with its parallel lines. D G A It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever D C C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F and yet you still have time, C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F you still have time.
