Artist: INXS
Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006
Standard tuning
This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99%
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings).
It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used.
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore,
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F#
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still
can play along with the album in key without the
trouble of the barre chords.
C#         F#
Here I am, lost in the light of the moon
C#
that comes through my window
F#
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides
C#      B                 F#
the thorns from the roses  It's you and the roses
A# G# A# F#
C#           B            F#              C#
Touch me and I will follow  in your afterglow
B               F#          C#
Heal me from all this sorrow    As I let you go
B                  F#
I will find my way when I see your eyes
C#     G#              A#    F#   C#
Now I'm living in your afterglow
C#         F#
Here I am, lost in the ashes of time,
C#
but who owns tomorrow?
C#               F#
In between the longing to hold you again
C#     B                F#
I'm caught in your shadow,  I'm losing control
A#      G#          A#       F#
My mind drifts away, we only have today
C#           B             F#               C#
Touch me and I will follow    in your afterglow
C#           B               F#
Heal me from all this sorrow
C#            B
As I let you go I will find my way
F#                  B                 F#
I will sacrifice 'til that blinding day when I see your eyes
C#             G#       A#        F#
Now I'm LIVINNNNG!!!!! in your afterglowwwwwwwwww!!!
D#             A#       D#         A#              G#
When the veils are gone     as I let you go,   as I let you go
[yodelling chords: C# G# F# C# repeated twice]

Heal me from all this sorrow     As I let you go

I will find my way, I will sacrifice
C#   G#             A#      F#

C#                  F#
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides

the thorns from the roses
