Alien

This is a version of "Alien" by the band 'Cast'.

Written by John Power, track 7 on the album "Magic Hour" (1999)

This is merely an interpretation. It sounds almost perfect but I don't think it is

100%, either way it does me fine.

In the verse it's important to move the 3rd string up to the 4th fret when strumming the

If you listen to the song you should be able to gather what I mean.

Capo on 4th fret, all chords are relative to the capo.

Chords:

Asus - 002200

F#m - 244222

B - either 224442 or 799877

C#m - 446654

Verse 1

Take the knowledge away, suck the breath from the clay

Break the bone to the ground, leave the soul where it's found

Asus (strike the chord twice then back to E)

Lead the soul where it's bound

Verse 2

Through the passage of time, one day soon to arrive

Silver bird in the sky, leave this world all behind

Leave this world all behind

Chorus

Taking over the world

They're taking over our world x2

(Play the verse chords once, then the singing begins again)

Verse 3

Looking out from inside, when you see what you find

Out of sight out of mind, meet the seed of mankind

Meet the seed of mankind

CHORUS

Break

Higher and Higher, spiralling through the sky

Vertially rising through a white wall of space

It's Further and further, pushing on through the clouds

Perfect response to falling from grace

No need to look for you are found,

Need to speak I hear the sound

On the street

Oooooooooooooh

Solo

(Chords are the same as for the break (above))

Chorus x2

Now you're learning to

fly

And it ends on E
