GENESIS
THE CARPET CRAWLERS
SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
Tabbed by Nicolás Levy Renaud (acade36@hotmail.com)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD TUNING - NO CAPO
VERSE 1:
D Em D
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
Em D
For my second sight of people, they’ve more lifeblood than before.
Em D
They’re moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Em
Where the needle’s eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
CHORUS 1:
F#m A
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
G A
We’ve got to get in to get out
G D
We’ve got to get in to get out
C G D
We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 2:
Em D
There’s only one direction in the faces that I see;
Em D
It’s upward to the ceiling, where the chamber’s said to be.
Em D
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
Em
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free.
CHORUS 2:
F#m A
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
G A
We’ve got to get in to get out
G D
We’ve got to get in to get out
C G D
We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 3:
Em
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
D Em
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.
D Em
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
D Em
It’s the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
CHORUS 3:
F#m A
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
G A
We’ve got to get in to get out
G D
We’ve got to get in to get out
C G D
We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 4:
Em
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
D Em
The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack.
D Em
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
D Em
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
CHORUS 4:
F#m A
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
G A
We’ve got to get in to get out
G D
We’ve got to get in to get out
C G D
We’ve got to get in to get out.
OUTRO:
C - Dm x4
