Elan - Street Child feat. Slash
Tuning: 1/2 step down from E
I'm pretty sure that this is 100% accurate. leave me comments.
Chords:
Am G
We are the little ones who roam the underbelly
D E
Of the streets that normal people walk
Am G
Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the ocean
D E
The color of the gypsies in the shadow night
Am G
Darkness inside out seeps into your veins
Listen to the rain
D
The only thing keeping you alive
E
Is the gracious night
[Chorus:]
Am G
Let me go, let me sleep until forever
D E
Let me close my eyes and hide until the never
Am G
Let me go, let me slip into the sky
D E
And tiptoe into madness in a hollow cry
Bridge:
C Am
'Cause no one ever told me I committed any crime
G D
And no one ever told me how I went blind
C Am
And all I ever wanted was a free mind
G D
A guiltless conscience and a place where I could fly
C
I threw my cards out on the table
Am
And I put my neck out on the line
G
I took the verdict I was handed
D
And now I've served my time
[Chorus x2]
Let me go
Guitar Solos:
Slash uses a wah during the first half of the solo mainly as a filter. He does rock it
and forth, but only a couple times. He does it very slowly, and not all the way. The wah
kept in the heel down position mostly though, just listen to the song.
