 The Tea Party  -  Fire In The Head

transcribed by Greg O'Beirne (gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au)

Notation:  ==   hold note for this long     X  mute strings & crunch 'em
           \    slide down                  /  slide up

It's hard to write down the timing of the crunching correctly, but if
you listen to the recording you should be able to figure it out.... :)

There are other bits after this, but you should be able to figure it
out easily enough from the recording... :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics:

you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine

you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine

sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine

and i'm waiting    when i return to her i find
and i'm waiting    flowers of evil in my mind
and i'm waiting    dancing with fire on the edge
and i'm waiting    remembering all of what she said
and i'm waiting    hoping the rains will wash away
and i'm waiting    hoping a guide will show the way
and i'm waiting    dancing with fire on the edge
and i'm waiting    remembering all of what she said

with this fire in the head...

sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine

this is the way, step inside...

------------------------------
Hope this is of some help :)
