A Trick Of The Tail Chords by Genesis

[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Gbm] Thought of [D] the life in the city [Dbm] of gold He'd left and [A] let [Abm] nobody _ know
[Gbm] Gone [D] were the towers he had known [Dbm] from a child Along [Gbm] with the dream [Abm] of a life _
_ [Db] He'd [Gb] travel the wide [Ab] open road, the [Fm] blanket arcade In [Ab] search of another [Ebm] to share in [Fm] his life
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] Nowhere, [Db] _ _ [Ebm] everyone [Gb] looked [Ab] so strange to him They [Ebm] got no horns and they got no tail
[Abm] They don't think [Db] of no vital [Abm] existence [Ebm] Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold?
[Abm] Lies in [Db] the distance he cried [Gbm] and wept As they led him away to [E] a cage
Beasts that [Gbm] can talk [B] read the sign _ [Gbm] The creatures [Bm] they pushed and they [Dbm] broadened his frame
And [A] questioned his [Abm] story again _ _ [Db] Soon [Gb] they boarded [Ab] their prey
The beasts [Fm] that can talk Maw [Ab] like a freak, a [Ebm] [Ab] publicity stunt
_ [Cm] Oh, [Bb] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Eb] no, [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ they [Ebm] got no horns and they got no tail
[Abm] They don't think [Db] of no vital [Abm] existence [Ebm] Am I wrong to believe in the city of [Abm] gold?
Lies in [Db] the distance he [Eb] cried and broke Down the door of the cage in his [Gb] own hands _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ [Ab] _ The creature eyes from above his neck [Db] pointing out
_ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ They're beyond [F] the bounds of [Cm] your weak _ _ [Bb] _
imagination
_ _ Like noble [Dm] towers of [Cm] my city, bright and [F] gold
Let me [G] take you there, [F] show you a [C] living story
_ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] Let me show [Db] you others such [Eb] as me Why [Abm] did I _ _ _ _ [Db] ever leave?
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] They got no horns and they got no tail [Abm] They don't think of [Db] no [Abm] vital existence
[Ebm] Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold?
[Abm] Lies in [Db] the distance he cried and [Gbm] wept _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ And so we set [D] out with the beast and [Dbm] his horns And his crazy [A] description [Abm] of hope
_ [Gbm] After many days [D] journey we came to [Dbm] a peak Where the beast [Gbm] glistened broad and [Abm] cried out
_ [Db] We followed [Gb] his gaze and [Ab] we thought that maybe [Fm] we saw
A spiral [Ab] gold [Ebm] note trick of [Ab] the eye, [Cm] _ [Bb] that's [Db] all
[Ebm] But the beast [Gb] was gone [Ab] and the voice was heard They [Ebm] got no horns and they got no tail
[Abm] They don't think [Db] of no vital [Abm] existence [Ebm] Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold?
[Abm] Lies in the [Db] distance
