Silver
Intro: Am / Dsus2* / Am / Fmaj7
Verse:
Am Dsus2*
Close your eyes, your Christ has come,
Am
The crippled boy that you once knew,
Fmaj7
The charmed enigma, chosen one..
Am Dsus2*
Painted lips, skin ripped and torn,
Am
Come touch and feel and lick and smell,
Fmaj7
This envy I have known so well,
Pre-chorus: (let the chords ring)
Am C
Everybody wants, everybody says,
Fmaj7 G
Everybody begs, in time...
Verse 2 and the second pre-chorus are exactly the same.
Chorus:
Am
And you will be the first to fall,
Dsus2*
Every feeling will dissolve,
Am F
We are - silver..
Am
Morphine baby's final breath,
Dsus2*
Ever smothered to your breast,
Am F
We are - silver...
During the breakdown, the chords are G and F (I think)
The last pre-chorus and chorus are as above, and end on Am.
That's it. A great song with a dark mood and rather cryptic lyrics - this
version will sound good on acoustic as well.
* When playing Dsus2 (000230), you can use your forefinger on the first
string and alternate with Dm (000231). In the chorus, you can also try
playing Fmaj7 quickly after Dsus2 on the second line.
So close your eyes
Your christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips
Skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
You will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Every breath into my breast
We are silver
So shy and poised
With few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean
Till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
The hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
You will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver
Sister, I will follow you this time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver
Silver
Silver (we are silver)
Silver
Silver (we are silver)

version 2
The main chords (the ones played after the little riffs) are variations of
A: x022xx
D Flat: x0020x
G: x35500 I will call it G.
The begining and the parts until Dave sings 'Everybody wants, Everybody says...'
are the same. to remind you of my symbols, I use '/' as the symbol for slide.
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------- Repeat the whole thing.
G------------2-----------2-------2-/-5---------- We'll call this Riff 1
D--2-3-2-0-2-2-3-2-0-0-3-2-0-2-3-2-/-5 ---------
A------------0-----------0--------------0---3----------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------2---------------2----------------------5--------------9------------------------- Repeat once
D-----------2---------------0----------------------5--------------9------------------------- We'll call this Riff 2
A-----------0---------------0----------------------3--------------7-------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everybody wants, Everybody says, Everybody begs..In time
For the second verse, repeat Riff 1 and 2 like you did before until the Chorus
starts:
A
and you will be the first to fall
D flat
every feeling will dissolve
G B(?)
We are...silver
A
Morphine baby's final breath
D flat
Ever smothered to my breast
G B(?)
We are Silver
Then there is a piano part that can be played on guitar, it is played before the
verse starts again.
G-----------------14-5-5-5-5----------
D-2-3-5-15-14-5-2-14-5-5-5-5-0-2-3-2
Repeat this all again, afterwards Dave will break out into a high sung part
where Mark plays a basic scale variation. I have gone through the trouble of
tabbing out the version on the album. The live version is different most of the
time. There are a few effects in it that I haven't bothered to tab though, I
think it is just a basic wah pedal.
B-15-15-15-15-15-13-13-12-12-10-10-12-12-12-12-13-10-10-8-8-15-15-15-15-13-13-12-12-10-12-12-12-12-13-10--10---10---10---8-8-
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10--10---10---10-------
And then the whole thing repeats until the very end where there is another cool
keyboard riff that can be played on guitar. This is
D-2-3-2-3-5-5-7-2-3-2-3-2-0----0-2-3----
A----------------------------------3------------- Repeat this twice,
I think, it varies a bit on the second time, but it isn't hard to figure out.
I was lost in between...have you been....have you been...have you been Silver???
So close your eyes
Your christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips
Skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
You will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Every breath into my breast
We are silver
So shy and poised
With few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean
Till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
The hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
You will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver
Sister, I will follow you this time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver
Silver
Silver (we are silver)
Silver
Silver (we are silver)
