Tasmin Archer - Sleeping satellite guitar tab

I've been trying to work out this song, which sounds great

with the female vocalist in our band. It is rather

straightforward, the original is played in the key of Fm or

(as indicated in brackets) Em when capoed at the first fret.

The /slashes indicate the beat, the bass basically follows

the chord progressions.

chords used: capo I:

Fm 133111 (022000)

Bb9 x13311 (x02200)

Cm x35543 (224432)

C9 x35533 (224422)

Dbmaj7 x43111 (x32000)

Eb9 xx1341 (xx0230)

Gm 355333 (244222)

Ab 466544 (355433)

This is my first contribution to the net, as a repay to all

the helpful people out there. Keep up the good work! Comments,

corrections or additions are well appreciated. Remember that

I'm just a hobby guitarist as y'all..

Hope you enjoy it,

Carlo

"Sleeping Satellite" - Tasmin Archer

song written by Tasmin Archer, John Beck and John Hughes

tabbed by Carlo Klein (cakl@ensae.ericsson.se) 20-02-1995

(capo I, tempo 4/4)

refrain:

/Fm /Bb9

I blame you for the moonlit sky

/Cm /C9

and the dream that died, with the Eagle's flight

/Fm /Bb9

I blame you for the moonlit nights

/Cm /C9

when I wonder why, are the seas still dry

/Dbmaj7 /Eb9 /Eb9

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

/Fm /Bb9

Did we fly to the moon too soon, did we spoil another chance

/Dbmaj7

In the rush of the race, the reason we chase

/Eb9

is a lost in romance

/Fm /Bb9

And still we try

/Dbmaj7

To justify the waste for a taste

/Eb9

Some man's greatest adventure, oh

refrain

Have we lost what it takes to advance, have we been too soon

If the world is a dream, then why does it scream

under a blue moon

We wonder why

if the earth is sacrificed for a price

of it's greatest treasure, oh

refrain

break: /Fm /Fm /Gm /Ab

/Fm /Fm /Gm /Ab Gm

And when we shoot for the stars, what a giant step

Have we got what it takes, to carry the weight

of it's consense

Or pass it by

Like a shot in the dark, with some mark

with a sense of adventure, oh

refrain

/Fm
