Genesis - In The Rapids chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Second to last track on Genesis's 1975 masterpiece (and disasterpiece) album "The Lamb Down on Broadway". These are the chords. This may not be 100% accurate, but you can play whole song and sing the original melody easily this way. | B E B A | | B E B Abm | | F#sus2 | DMaj7 | | Asus2 | Abm | F#sus2 | DMaj7 | The pattern is simple Asus2 Moving down the water Abm John is drifting out of sight F#sus2 It's only at the turning point DMaj7 That you find out how you fight Asus2 In the cold, feel the cold Abm All around... F#sus2 And the rush of crashing water DMaj7 Surrounds me with its sound [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/genesis/251468.html ] It's the same chord progression through the whole short song. The vocals and the band in intensity as the track goes on, but the chords remain the same. Here are the chords tabbed out. Keep in mind, I fingerpick EVERYTHING I play, so my chords are the simplest ones and may be different from the ones most flat pickers use. If you flat pick, mute the x'd on each chord while strumming or play your barre chords. B E A Asus2 Abm F#sus2 DMaj7 e---x----4----0----0----4----2----2----| b---4----5----2----0----4----2----2----| G---4----4----2----2----4----1----2----| D---4----x----2----2----x----x----0----| A---x----x----0----0----x----x----x----| E---x----x----x----x----4----2----x----| One of the best tracks on the album in my opinion. I play a version of it regularly straight into "it.", a song which I will be posting the chords for soon. Let the record show that as of this date (Oct. 17, 2010), I have NEVER found a tab/chord this song online or in print in my years of searching! Now one is available for to learn and share.  |
