                         Undertow    (Genesis)

        Esus  E                     C#m             A
     The curtains are drawn now the fire warms the room
           Am      Esus   Bm                                 C#m
     Meanwhile, outside, wind from the north-east chills the air
                             F#m       D  A
     It will soon be snowing out there
          Am         Esus  Bm                                C#m
     And some, there are, cold they prepare for a sleepless night
                              F#m        D  A
     Maybe this will be their last fight
               C#m                      A              C#m                   A
     But we’re safe in each other’s embrace, all fears go as I look on your face

              D      E      Bm            D     A
     Better think awhile or I may never think again
                       D                G             Gm
     If this were the last day of your life my friend
  F#m                                     B
     Tell me what do you think you would do then

       E                 Amaj7
     Stand up to the blow     that fate has struck upon you
      E                  Amaj7
     Make the most of all     you still have coming to you
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Lay down on the ground  and let the tears run from you
     C#m             A                  B
     Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

      E               Amaj7
     Let me live again     let life come find me wanting
        E                    Amaj7
     Spring must strike again     against the shield of winter
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Let me feel once more   the arms of love surround me
     C#m             A               G#sus             G#          C#
     Telling me the danger’s past, I need not fear the icy blast again

     Esus  E                C#m             A
     Laughter and music and perfume linger here
           Am       Esus    Bm                                 C#m
     And there, and there, wine flows from flask to glass and mouth
                             F#m        D  A
     As it soothes confusing our doubts
          Am      Esus  Bm                      C#m
     And soon, we feel, why do a single thing today
                              F#m      D  A
     There’s tomorrow sure as I’m here
            C#m                   A         C#m                 A
     So the days they turn into years, and still no tomorrow appears

              D      E      Bm            D     A
     Better think awhile or I may never think again
                       D                G             Gm
     If this were the last day of your life my friend
  F#m                                     B
     Tell me what do you think you would do then

       E                 Amaj7
     Stand up to the blow     that fate has struck upon you
      E                  Amaj7
     Make the most of all     you still have coming to you
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Lay down on the ground  and let the tears run from you
     C#m             A                  B
     Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

      E               Amaj7
     Let me live again     let life come find me wanting
        E                    Amaj7
     Spring must strike again     against the shield of winter
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Let me feel once more   the arms of love surround me
     C#m             A               G#sus             G#          C#
     Telling me the danger’s past, I need not fear the icy blast again
