As the flames of e

 ternity rise

  To lick us with the

 first born lash of dawn

in be - tween us
  D     Dsus2 D

And I walk   away

How to play Another Day: key, chords and progression

These are Another Day chords by Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Another Day by Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 17 chords: Cmaj13, E7/B, Am, G, G/B, C, D, Dsus4, Dsus2, Asus4, Cmaj13sus4 and Gsus4 and 5 more.

The backbone of the song is Cmaj13 – E7/B – Am – G (Imaj7 – III7 – vi – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
