----------------------------------------------------------- I Love The World / New Model Army (Thunder and Consolation) ----------------------------------------------------------- Guitar 1 and Lyrics: [Rhythm 1] E (Eye of Taifun Rhythm and palm muted) The road of distant thunder breaks. The afternoon our silence wakes. They hurry through from ?peat to gate? as if they know this dance. [Rhythm 2] C (Barre chords no muting) In fury blind I drive at night C Ab across the moors, the open roads Ab Am beneath the freezing starry skies B racing in some trance (keep repeating Rhy 2) These cities are illusions of some triumph over nature's laws We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust. And as the waters rise it seems we came to overlook these things. ?They crystallize? technology while spirits scream and sing [Rhythm 3] (Em and Am are open G and C are barre) Em / Am / G / C (one chord per repetition) "Oh God, I love the world!" x8 [Rhythm 1] What I never feared was a clever man but I know enough to understand that the endless leaps, the forward plans will someday have to cease. You blind yourselves with comfort lies like "lightning never strikes here twice", and you laugh at your amaze, surprise as the ark begins to sink. [Rhythm 2] This temple that is built so well will seperate us from ourselves. it's a power grown beyond control, a will without a face. And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this but we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace: [Rhythm 3] "Oh God, I love the world!" x8 (Repeat again) And one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky. I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast. With courage from your bravest friends waiting outside for the end with no bitterness, but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp, I know somehow I will survive this fury just to stay alive so drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills again. ?This god is smiling, dying slow I scream to no one left to toll.? I told you so! x3 "I love the world!" x5 Guitar 2 (Synthesizers): [Rhythm 1] E-7-6-6-7---------------------------- B-5-5-7-8---------------------------- G------------------------------------ [Rhythm 2] E-8-8-8--7--------------------------- B-8-9-10-7--------------------------- G------------------------------------ [Rhythm 3] E---5---8---------------------------- B-5-5-8-8---------------------------- G-4---7------------------------------ Extra part for Guitar 1: palm muted D-2-1-2-1---------------------------- A-2-1-3-2---------------------------- E-0---3-2----------------------------
