The Carpet Crawlers by Genesis
The Carpet Crawlers
D Em
e|---3--3--3--3--3--3--------------| You should listen to the song
b|----2--2--2--2--2----------------| and try that against it. Played
g|---------------------0--0--0--0--| at a paced speed it should work!
d|--0--0--0--0--0--0----2--2--2--2-| Also use your fingers it helps!
a|--------------------2--2--2--2---|
E|---------------------------------|
The chorus is another story I can't see the finger picking working for a beginner
but try it on these chords. It works it just sounds strange if not worked on.

Now here is the bit everyone loves about this song. The Steve Hackett bit when
it gets to, "You gotta get in to get out".
Also remember I have figured this out through the live versions but can be put
in the studio one just as easily.

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.

G A
We’ve got to get in to get out
G D

C G D

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.

G A

G D
We’ve got to get in to get out
C G D

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.
