Chords for Genesis & Peter Gabriel - Archives & rushs 1969-1976

Why [Gb] don't you touch me?
Touch me!
Why don't [E] you touch me?
[B] Touch me!
Touch me now!
[E] Now!
[Gb] Now!
Now!
[Db] Touch [B] _ [E] _ [D] me now!
Can pacify you, _ can guarantee no pain
Feel the ugly potion deep in the space
The first album was released and did absolutely nothing at all
We played ridiculous [Dbm] gigs, you probably know the story, we played one [Abm] gig to one [A] person
Will I wait _ beside the silence? _
_ _ _ The weeds and slimy [D] water
The interesting thing about Genesis in their early days was really they didn't [A] seem to be coming from anywhere that was kind of predictable
All the bands at that period were pretty much based in the [D] blues or hard rock and heavy metal really
Or psychedelia, [Abm] but Genesis
_ _ [B] _ _ _ The music they played, the way they played, [Em] they were [Gb] crushed on their instruments
Really concentrating on doing all these incredible chords and [D] changes
Phil Collins was [Ebm] 19 when he joined the band
Ghosts have given everything [D] they had
_ _ [Db] Lay _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ me your [G] king cola
[F] That [Bbm] I may join [G] with you
All [Ab] your hearts now seem [Eb] so far from me
[Db] It _ hardly [Ab] seems to matter now
The musical box is something that's a huge favourite of all Genesis fans
The really nice [G] story which had sort of Victorian overtones
[Ab] It felt like a Victorian fairy story in a way I guess, [Db] or nursery story of [Eb] course
_ [Db] _ It hardly seems [Ab] to matter
_ _ _ It was very much the classical
[Ebm] I've been waiting here for so long
_ [Eb] _ And [Gb] all this time
_ _ [E] I remember the fox's head [B] and the [Ebm] dress
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [E] There was a gasp when I [Db] came out because it was shocking in those days
And that was [Gb] a buzz just to throw a wobbly here
It [B] was functional getting us noticed and I think the band [Gb] got_
_ _ _ [B] I didn't talk about the music anymore
And that [Db] frustrated Peter probably as much
And the sounds and believe [Bb] it or not the new musical express [Eb] And this
Hello [Bb] with [A] your guardian eyes [Bb] so blue
_ [Eb] Hey [Bb] my baby [Gb] don't you know our love [Gm] is true
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[E] I'm playing like Ringo [Ab] on that track
And the harmonies, although people would think that Genesis didn't
I remember the boys _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[Gb] 19 in the charts I think
And [F] so automatically they could have gone for an appearance in Top of the Pops
[Bb] And they didn't like it
And so [Eb] they [Fm] didn't go through Top of the Pops
And the single just went out of the charts
We [Bbm] were [Ebm] trying to do something different to [E] what was in the charts in some ways
And [Ebm]
we didn't want to go on Top of the Pops and this sort of stuff
[Eb] And _ I think there's just an arrogance when you're young too
That you maybe [Ab] grow through
_ _ When the fun leaves now and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Say I'm just a lawnmower
[Bb] You can tell me by the way I drive
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] You [Bbm] smoke compression, my distortion shows obsession
In the cold
Get [Ebm] me out of this pain
Get me out [Bbm] of this pain
[Eb] If I keep self-control
I'll be safe with my soul
As Jack hurt me
Bring tomorrow my thrill
[Dbm] With my sick and toast [Ab] and the life on thirst
And [A] spirit tossed, memories
[Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] Stooges, stag mice, shake me in
[Bbm] Make me tight, lips are dry, throat is dry
Feel like a stomach [Ebm] tremor
There were lots of [Bbm] very good at the departure of Peter Gove at that point
I was [Ebm] wanting to follow [Gb] some other [E] interests as well
I think that, you know, he's amongst the best
