The Lap Of The Gods  - Dave Dobbyn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From "Twist".
Transcribed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).

    Fingerings shown in brackets.


INTRO:
  C (x32010)   D+4 (x54030)   Bm6 (x24030)   C


VERSE 1: (chords as for intro)
  Clamour drowning, skin flinching, language is a curse to be nameless
  Rest in a dance for millions, primal now - more adventure
  Go conjure up behind a shade, you got a while for adventure


CHORUS:
 G (320003)              Em7 (022030)
  In the lap of the Gods, in the twists of fate
 Am7 (x02010)                C              D (xx0232)
  There's a map of the world in the turning of the cloudlight
 G                       Em7
  In the map of the world go the twists of fate
 Am7                      C              D                G
  In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here


VERSE 2:
  Go curl up inside a shadow, go dumb now - eat the light
  And soak it up - gorgeous vista, ground vertigo - to be nameless


CHORUS (as before, without final G chord)


BRIDGE:
  G5 (355xxx)   G7 (353xxx)   Cm/G (365xxx)   C5/G (335xxx)
  G5            G7            Cm/G

 C                  D+4
  Go rest in a dance for millions
 Bm6             C                            D
  You got a while for adventures in real time


CHORUS (as before)


OUTRO:
 G                       Em7/G (322030)
  In the map of the world there's a twisted face
 Am7                      C              D
  In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here
 G
  There's a desert behind and the speeding shadows push me further
         G/F (120003)         G       G/F
  In the cushion of the grass, in the soup of the harbour
 G                               G/F
  In the glisten of the tar seal draped in the saddle of the hill
 G                     G/F             G
  Shine, shine, in the lap of the Gods
 G/F  G                     G/F  G (to fade)
  Shine up, shine up, shine
