Kashmir - melpomene.
tabbed by Simon Toft Hansen.

there isn't any guitar on the first verse, but I tabbed them anyway.
Csus2 Bm7
something tells me that I'm left without a chance
Csus2
in my supicious attempts to get her close
Bm7
enough to close my lips around her smile
now I can't close my eyes when she's around
Csus2
she is around
Em (Dsus4) D
passing like the wind that shapes the clouds
Bm7 Csus2
she is around, she is around

play the part above twice.
Csus2 Bm7
I don't know how but suddenly it has been a while
Csus2
and we've been walking in through that same front door
Bm7
undressing like there were no parts to hide
and calling each other names we never had
Csus2
you never heard
Em
and then an unexpected turn
Dsus4 D
and we hit the kerb
Bm7 Csus2
a stupid term, a fatal word
------
The tricky part about the chorus is that the first time they play it, they play a C
instead of Am, which they play the second time. Here's the way i play it. You don't
have to play the melody, but that's what Kasper does live.

C
flutter girl
Em
killing me with her sunshine
Dsus4 D
sun - shine
C
she's so unaware
C G D D7
that she's my melpomene
-----
the next part I borrowed from the other version on this site. I wouldn't play the
chords in this part, but the bass can use the notes.
C C/h
you broke the code
Am Em
just like I'm sure you always do
D C
without intentions but I know
Em D
that's how I broke away from you
Bm C
now that the clouds are obsolete
G Am
I hope you landed on your feet
Em
without those evil demons
-----
I can't figure out the guitar in this next section, but anyway it looks like Kasper
does something completely different live. And here's how that sounds:
keeping... running out of time...
----*----------*--------------*--------------|
----*----------*--------------*--------------|
----9----------11-------------9--------------|
----*----------*--------------*--------------|
----7----------9--------------7--------------|
---(0)---------*--------------*--------------|
drown... wine... naive... give... receive... jaded... out of function...
--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
--12-------11-------9-------7--------5----------4---------8---------|
--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
--10-------9--------7-------5--------3----------2---------6---------|
--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
keeping you reminded of
the wars they pulled us through
as fragile hearts ran short of glue
as we're both running out of time
and seek to drown the fact in wine
it should be honest and naïve
like we should give, we should receive
I must be jaded fading
out of function into solitude
-------
this next part is played with power chords.
Warning: do not confuse these chords for major or minor or whatever.
chords for solo:
A E F#? D C H

| It's written by a danish musician, Kasper Eistrup. It's about an infatuation, I'm sure. you broke the code just like i'm sure you always do without intentions but I know that's how I broke away from you now that the clouds are obsolete I hope you landed on your feet without those evil demons keeping you reminding of... the war they pulled us through as fragile hearts ran short of glue as we're both running out of time and seek to drown the fact in wine it should be honest and naive like we should give, we should receive I must be jaded fading out of fuction into solitude It's my favorite Kashmirlyric. And my favorite Kashmir live song. I've seen them five times. The part of the lyric I want to write about is the one I wrote above this.. It's about someone who sees right through him and gets right throgh the "surfus" of him. I don't quite know how to put this, but it's about someone so sublime that she's killing him with her not being aware that she's his melpomene. It touches me and if only someone would write such a beautiful song to me. "Fragile hearts ran short of glue" says that a heart that has been through so much damage already that it hasn't got any glue left to fix it with now. I really love it! This song has meant so much to me and it still does, even though I don't listen to it as often as I once did. | |

| Melpomene is not a greek godess of war, but the muse of the tragedy :) is one of the 9 muses, daugther of Zeus and Mnemosine. | |

| Wonderful! One of my favourites of all time. It's pretty hard to understand the lyrics the way it's ment to be. Too complicated and too personal. I think the story is about tragical love (that's why the title), maybe even not answered love. She's "killing with her sunshine". | |
