Madness — Small World

    	    	Вступление

Small World by Madness, from their 2012 album "Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da".
Written by Daniel Woodgate.

Notes:
In Chorus 3, the vocals from both Chorus 1 and Chorus 2 are sung at the same time.
To denote this, I've put the backing vocals in brackets underneath the lead.
Also, the guitar plays a brief Dsus4 in verses 1 and 2 but I've omitted it for simplicity.

Bass line for intro/verse one [outlines a Dm(add9), causing the dissonance with the keys]:
Note that the bass in in drop d tuning. Each - represents am 8th note (quaver)

G|--------|                                 E|--0-----|
D|--2-----|                                 B|--------|
A|-0-0--0-|    or on standard tuned guitar: G|-2-2--2-|
D|0---3---|                                 D|0---3---|
                                            A|--------|
                                            E|--------|

[Intro]
Bass riff x4 then

F E D x2

[Verse 1]
Dm
I sat and watched the crowds in London
Dm
I know each road by name
Dm
Today the streets are cold and empty
Dm
Cause no one likes the rain

D
I soon lost count of all the cars
F
That burned so bright outside the bars
D
Deserted streets and burning shells
F
Familiar shops I know so well

[Verse 2]
Dm
Today the birds no longer twitter
Dm
The words don't make it true
Dm
When there's no line I'm up the junction
Dm
I can't be there with you

D
I've always got a magic line
F
That I tap into any time
D
I watch the world by day and night
F
It's very close but out of sight


[Chorus]
E
Small World
        D
Spent together
          C

          B
Linked forever


[Verse 3]
D
The words were out and spread like fires
F
From good to bad, habitual liars
D
The drama queens rejoice again
F
Until the next time, who knows when?

[Solo]
Dm

[Chorus 2]
E
We could be miles apart forever
D
But we are somehow here together
C
The world is always talking somewhere
B
And we can choose or not to be there


[Chorus 3]
   E
   We could be miles apart forever
(Small      world___          spent)
   D
   But we are somehow here together
(together                    spent in)
  C
   The world is always talking somewhere
(wonder                       linked for-)
 B
 And we can choose or not to be there
(ever)
   E
   We could be miles apart forever
(Small      world___          spent)
   D
   But we are somehow here together
(together                    spent in)
  C
   The world is always talking somewhere
(wonder                       linked for-)
 B                                    E
 And we can choose or not to be there
(ever)
