Subject: TAB: "Underlying Depression" by Van Morrison
"Underlying Depression" by Van Morrison
Taken from the album "Days Like This"
Tabbed by Justin Kunz: jkunz@smcvt.edu
"I was flabbergasted by the headlines: 'People in Glass Houses Throwing
Stones.'"-- Van Morrison
Throw a capo on the first fret and play these chords, with respect to
the capo:
G#m466444
Ax02220
Bx24442
E022100
Or, since there isn't really a defined guitar sound on the album, play
bar chords to give it a light feel:
Am577555
Bbx13331
Cx35553
F133211
On the A-E part below, it means make a quick change from the E to an A,
then back to E.
Here are the lyrics:
G#m ABE A-E
Underlying depression, have to crawl into my room
G#m A B E A-E
Underlying depression, don't want to know about the moon in June
A B A E
Outside there's a cavalcade of clowns, but they're just bringing me down
E A-E
With underlying depression
G#m A B E A-E
Underlying depression and it's starting in my backyard
G#m A BE A-E
Underlying depression, and these times ain't even so hard
AB AE
Lord I was born with the blues and my blue suede shoes
E A-E
And underlying depression
G#m A B E A-E
Underlying depression and there's just nowhere to turn
G#m A B E A-E
Underlying depression and things just seem to turn in on one
A BAE
Sometimes I'm stuck here in the corner, just like Little Jack Horner
E A-E
With underlying depression
G#m A B E A-E
Underlying depression and I just can't get it right
G#mA B E A-E
Underlying depression I've got to fight it with all of my might
A B AE
Right now I don't want to be alone, get my baby on the telephone
E A-E
Underlying depression
G#m A B E A-E
Have to make some concessions when everything is working right
G#mA B E A-E
Have to count my blessings, helps me make it through the night
A BAE
I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife, yeah
E A-E
And underlying depression
(E w/ A-E to end)
Underlying depression, underlying depression, underlying depression
Ain't nothing but the blues
Underlying depression ain't nothing but the blues
Underlying depression, ain't nothing but the blues
Underlying depression
