This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

{once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with

the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4;

with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre)

then pick out the notes. Or I guess you could play straight chords if

you're a weenie}

D Bm D Bm

Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the world?

Em A Em A

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Could this by three be turned? Honor marches on.

Em A Em A

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

D A G (A) D A G D A G (A) D A G

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

Are we grown way too far?

Taking after rain

Em A Em A

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

D A G (A) D A G D A G (A) D A G

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

Em A Em A

In my life

Is that a steal?

Children of today on parade,

Em A Em A

Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

D A G (A) D A G D A G (A) D A G

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

D A G (A) D A G D A G (A) D A G

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

{At the end, the chorus gets played a key up for a while, so it's

E B A .... then end on a big 'ol B}
