Chords for Massive Attack - Saturday Come Slow

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Saturday comes slow.
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Is there nothing there?
_ In the limestone caves in the southwest land, what sounds in the kingdom beneath us on the sand?
Saturday comes slow.
Do you love me?
Do you love me? _ _ _ _ _ _
Well if you look at the year, the year has an amazing range.
If you look at 120 decibels,
that basically is one trillion times the smallest tone that you can hear. _ _
Decibel is actually a dimensionless number. _ _ _
_ _ _ Sound can become painful at just about any level.
_ I can whistle at 110 decibels, so consequently if
I could do that for a long period of time, it would become painful or it would create permanent damage.
Damage is loudness and time.
Now usually anything under 80 decibels you can pretty much listen to all day.
We talk at about 60 decibels in just a room like this. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ You're talking about [C] a non-homogeneous material.
You can't drive a [Eb] human being.
You [Ab] would not get a resonance.
[G] But then it's good we don't [Bb] resonate.
If you did resonate, it would create very [C] serious damage.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Lost in [Eb] the [Ab] magic [G] from the lost time.

_ There was nothing much to listen to except the wind.
I would listen to the wind. _
We were always chained except in our cell.
Obviously the cell was very small so you would not really
_ walk and just sit there.
But every time we would leave our cell, we would be chained for
interrogation or for medical.
If we had to go to the shower, to the recreation area, we would always be
chained.
So every time we would get out, our hands would be cuffed to our stomach and
our feet would be shackled.
And we would only manage to take
very small steps.
Like we had to shuffle to walk like a penguin. _ _ _ _ _
We would be taken to interrogation in a booth which would be probably like two and a half meters by
two and a half meters.
Their room would have an AC unit in, it would have a line of floors,
it would have a plastic chair and on the floor there would be a hook.
They would force the chain
into that hook and padlock it.
So basically you're in a hug type position which they call the short
shackling.
And they would leave you for, you know, in my case the maximum time I spent there was about
two and a half days I think, with extremely loud music.
They would have the AC unit on full blast
so it'd be freezing cold.
At the same time they would come and interrogate you, you know, probably
point you, kick you, bring dogs in, right to your face and they would be barking. _
And basically they
would play music on, heavy metal on, for like two and a half days.
And on top of that I was isolated
for five months. _
The situation in Guantanamo Bay is that they would likely have rather modest
speakers, possibly even cheap speakers, and if you drive those too hard you get clipping
and distortion.
That distortion is actually more annoying than loudness. _
You can't take people into a lab and drive sound at this level. _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] After we got released, we just was released, you know, without any charge after
36 hours of landing back in the UK.
And they just kind of said to us, you know, you're free to go.
So as we walked out it was very difficult to walk because it was the first time we walked without
any shackles.
And, you know, I could take full steps which felt very odd to do.
Also the fact
that, you know, for two and a half years I never actually interacted with anybody, like physically.
I never touched them or hugged them or shaked their hands.
So that was very new to me even though,
you know, I've been doing it for the last, you know, 20 years of my life.
But that was two years took everything away. _ _ _ _ _
