Squonk chords by Genesis

Hello again! here's something a little newer, still from a time when
Genesis was writing very creative songs. This one's actually
written by Banks and Rutherford.



            Squonk
          by Genesis, from
         _A Trick of the Tail_

unless otherwise noted, chords are in open position.

The intro is basically just like the first verse.

(1)
Dm7        C/D
Like father, ...

Dm7             C/D
Not flesh nor fish nor ....

Dm7               C/D

Dm7              C/D
A-tumbling and a-...

Em7/A           F#m7/A
All the king's horses ....

   Em7/A           F#m7/A
could never put a smile ....

(2) follows the same pattern as (1)


This is a "chorus" bit, which comes after:
  "...don't stand a chance"
  "...all to see at night"
  "...you'd better watch out"
  "...just a pool of tears"
                                   (repeat)
D(no 3rd) G#o D7  D  G/D       D   A/D    G/D

Bridge 1
The second time through the bit above, the measure of the G/D chord becomes
in 5/4 time, with a Gm6/D on the second half of beat 2. This only happens
here, leading into the first bridge.

C/D     Dm7       Gm7        Gm    Dmsus2,4  Dm add E
Go a little faster now, you ...

F    Am7     Dm7   Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
Mirror mirror ...

  Eb               Bb      F
his heart was broken long ...

     Am7     Dm7   Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
Stop your tears ...

  Eb                 Bb      F
The trail they leave is ....

    Am7
all to see at night
(to "chorus")

(3) like (1)
In season, out of s....

(4)
Here I am, I'm ...
(to "chorus", no lyrics this time)


Bridge 2
(just like bridge 1)
I've got you, I've got ....
(to "chorus")

Second time through chorus, go up to an A chord on the second half
of beat 2 (still in 4/4), then go to the ending

Ending
Bsus4 B          F#m
    All in all you are ....

A          E
Placing trust ....

         B
You never had the things ..

  F#m
and you'll not get ...

       A                  E       B
and all the while in perfect time ...


Where this goes from there, I'm not sure. I think there's a C# after the
B, but again I'm not entirely sure. But, this is the grand portion of
Sqounk, so don't let a little thing like the ending stop you from
enjoying it!
