Dead Can Dance
Don't' Fade Away
One of my favorites. I am pretty sure this is about 100 percent correct. I have worked
out the actual tabs but since it is too difficult to play tabs and sing, I have laid out
the chords here. Please note the chord tabs as I may have the chord names wrong.

C Em C add 9 Em
Don't fade away..
Am Amsus4 Am Amsus4 Am
My brown-eyed girl
C Em C add 9 Em
Come Walk with me..
Am Amsus4 Am Amsus4 Am
I'll fill your heart with joy
G Bm Em
And we'll dance through our isolation
G Bm Em
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
G Bm Em
Turning thoughts to the here and ever after
G Bm Em
Consuming fears in our fiery halos
C Em C add 9 Em
Say what you mean..
Am Amsus4 Am Amsus4 Am
Mean what you say
C Em C add 9 Em
I've heard that innocence
Am Amsus4 Am Amsus4 Am
Has led us all astray
G Bm Em
But don't let them make you and break you
G Bm Em
The world is filled with their broken empty dreams
G Bm Em
Silence is their only virtue
G Bm Em
Locked away inside their silent screams
E
But for now...
A Asus4 Dmaj7 D
Let us dance away this starry night
A Asus4 Dmaj7 D
Filled with the glow of the fiery stars
Em Emsus4 Bm Bm7
And with the dawn our sun will rise
Em Emsus4 Bm Bm7
Bringing a symphony of birthright

Let me stay here for awhile

You know life's too short

Humming all along
