Blood On The Rooftops by Genesis
Blood On The Rooftops
The intro up until the vocals was done by Paul Meekin. I have made a
few minor changes to Paul's intro. The rest is my fault. :)
During the verses, I have added a bass staff and some pedal notes below
that. I don't play bass or bass pedals so I probably _really_ screwed
things up there. I just liked the way the bass part sounded.
During the choruses, I just added my best approximation of some guitar
chords to substitue for the synth.
Right after the choruses, there are a couple of measures with two or
three guitars, bass and keyboards weaving a pattern that I haven't
figured out yet.

Notes:
+ -This is meant to be a pause, musically a fermata. Use it to your own effect
H -Hammer on/hammer off
A -A sort of arpeggio but strummed downwards once with the thumb.
* -The lower string is plucked very slightly earlier than the top one. Almost
like a grace note.
() -An implied note. Sometimes it is a string that is struck lightly by
mistake, in other instances, it is the rest of the chord.

Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?
Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again.
Let's skip the news boy (I'll make some tea)

And the thing I hate - Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation's fate.
Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised!
You've won the West in time to be our guest

Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.
Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring
Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking
The trouble was started - by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day - Oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor
So let's skip the news boy (I'll go make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops - they're out for 23
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again.
