Dead Can Dance
Don't' Fade Away
One of my favorites. I am pretty sure this is about 100 percent correct. I have worked
out the actual tabs but since it is too difficult to play tabs and sing, I have laid out
the chords here. Please note the chord tabs as I may have the chord names wrong.

Intro...
C Em C add 9 Em
Don't fade away..
My brown-eyed girl
C Em C add 9 Em
Come Walk with me..
I'll fill your heart with joy
And we'll dance through our isolation
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
Turning thoughts to the here and ever after
Consuming fears in our fiery halos
C Em C add 9 Em
Say what you mean..
Mean what you say
C Em C add 9 Em
I've heard that innocence
Has led us all astray
But don't let them make you and break you
The world is filled with their broken empty dreams
Silence is their only virtue
Locked away inside their silent screams
But for now...
Let us dance away this starry night
Filled with the glow of the fiery stars
And with the dawn our sun will rise
Bringing a symphony of birthright
Instrumental
(A Asus4 Dmaj7 D) x2
(Em Emsus4 Bm Bm7) x2 E
Don't bring me down, no
Let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short
Let me bathe here in the sun
I'm transcending...leah, fall from the garden
Humming all along
(C (bar3) B(bar2) D(bar5) ) x3
