SHAKING THROUGH
Could it be that one small voice doesn’t count in the ruin?
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denyin' all the way
Could this by three beaten?
Order marches on
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denier all the way
Shaking through
Opportune
Shaking through
Opportune
A week worth waiting for
Take in after the rain-ing-ing-ing
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denyin' all the way
Shaking through
Opportune
Shaking through
Opportune
In my life …
Wheels that are still
Children of today on parade
Yellow like a geisha gown
Denyin' all the way
Shaking through
Opportune
Shaking through
Opportune
Shaking through
Opportune
Shaking through
Opportune
This song is nicer to play if you have a piano player. In the song, the chords are handled by piano while Peter picks away. However, to fill in the song, feel free to throw in a strum of the chords if you don't happen to be near a pianist. In this song everything is picked besides the intro, feel free to listen to the song to figure out the picking pattern. Speaking of the intro, if you didn't notice, the first two formations are the same as the first two from Wolves, Lower ... only backward.
I've also included the little interlude between this song and We Walk, so enjoy ...

do you have the piano tab too?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the piano tab on the recording is just the base chords with some noodling within the notes of the chord. But no, I don't have the piano tab.
DeleteI wrote a lengthy essay interpreting the lyrics of this song. I've always had a heard version that is quite different from the widely published lyrics on the internet (I see you have some lines that are different from that version as well). But when I put that version and my heard version side by side, I see some interesting connections. I used the essay in a literary theory class I was teaching to illustrate the concept of slippery signifiers in structuralism and post-structuralism/post-modernism, especially the aural signifiers so common in rock and just outrageously so in "Shaking Through." What do I hear? Instead "Yellow like a geisha gown" I hear "You look like a geisha doll." The intersections in the signifieds between these two versions fascinates me. My students just thought I was off my rocker, but no one could disagree that what I was hearing was just as valid as the distributed lyrics. Post-modernist as can be!
