Don't Dream it's Over (Neil Finn)

Solo acoustic version of the Crowded House hit from a Princess Diana tribute album. The opening chord (D?) 
a happy accident and the rest followed nicely.

Intro - D? / Bm / G / F#

(D?) There is freedom within, (Bm) there is freedom without (G)
Try to catch the deluge in a paper (F#) cup
(D?) There's a battle ahead, (Bm) many battles are lost (G)
But you'll never see the end of the road while you're (F#) travelling with me

(Chorus)
(G) Hey now, hey (A) now, don't (D) dream it's (Bm) over
Hey (G) now, hey  (A) now, when the (D) world comes (Bm) in
They (G) come, they (A) come (D) to build a wall be-(Bm)-tween us (G)
We know they won't win  G / /  F#//

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

(Chorus)

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clear in the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

(G) Hey now, hey (A) now, don't (Bm) dream
Hey (G) now, hey  (A) now, when the (Bm) world comes in
They (G) come, they (A) come (Bm) to build a wall between us (G)
We know they won't win (G) (A) (Bm)
Don't ever let them win (G) (A) (Bm)
Don't ever let them win (G) (A) (Bm)
(G) Hey now, hey (A) now (Bm)
(G) (A) (Bm)
(G) Hey now hey (A).............ey
(D? arpeggio and hold) Now

?The Last To Know? by Neil Finn
Track 5 from his album ?One Nil?

Tabbed by Mark Jones (mrkj@another.com)

For me this one of the stand out songs from this thoroughly fantastic album.


Intro and Verse chords

D  A  Em  G

Between the D and A play this:

E-----------|
A--0--2-----|
D--------0--|
G-----------|
B-----------|
E-----------|

Between the A and the Em play this
   HO PO PO
E------------|
A-2--4--2--0-|
D------------|
G------------|
B------------|
E------------|

Or play it with a slide instead of the hammer-on and pull-off between the second and the fourth fret if 
prefer.

Verse One (it?s pretty easy to match this to the chords):

I?m way down the track
Took the wrong turn
Finished up where I started
You noticed the change come over me
Fell in love with my own reflection yeah
How does it feel beneath your own wheels
Feels like and accident waking up

Chorus (well as near as the song gets to a chorus) 1:

F#m     G           Asus4
Under a bus with my fingers crossed
F#m        G             Asus4
Now is the time we could make it up

Verse 2:

So you lost the fear
It wasn?t that bad
Left to your own devices yeah
Still a young girl eyes on the clock
Tick Like A Motor Running Out
Magnets and words up on the fridge
Brings out the poet in all of us

Chorus 2 (same chords as chorus 1);

Well I missed the page that you spoke about
Drew in the frost on the window pane

Middle 8:

D         Asus4
And who I wonder
D             Asus4
Could fail to notice
D          Asus4
The ache inside us come
B
downnnnnnnnnnn


I?m not sure about the next bit but think the shapes are something like these:

E------------|
A--4---5--7--|
D--4---4--4--|
G--4---4--4--|
B------------|
E------------|

B
I?m humble now??..

Repeat shapes above

Verse 3 (same chords as verse 1 & 2):

I hope you might come back
In your own time left to your own devices

Play chords on their own a couple of times??

And so that?s how it goes you?re never the first
Always the Last To Know


That?s it!!

If you haven?t already buy this album!!!

Also check out Neils website at http://www.nilfun.com there are loads of video / audio / visuals there

Cheers,
Mark.

Tabbed by Paul Hammond (ltk@pauldhammond.freeserve.co.uk)

Note: I prefer the live version of this song, as heard on the album
      Seven Worlds Collide, to the the better-known studio version,
      so this transcription combines elements of both.

Intro:

could fail to     notice

    D Gadd6 A7sus4
the aching  silence

     Bm   F#   G*  Em
come down?
