Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006
Standard tuning
This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99%
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings).
It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used.
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore,
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F#
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still
can play along with the album in key without the
trouble of the barre chords.
C#F#
Here I am, lost in the light of the moon
C#
that comes through my window
F#
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides
C#BF#
the thorns from the roses It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
BF#C#
Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go
BF#
I will find my way when I see your eyes
C#G#AC#
Now I'm living in your afterglow
C#F#
Here I am, lost in the ashes of time,
C#
but who owns tomorrow?
C#F#
In between the longing to hold you again
C#BF#
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
A#G#A#F#
My mind drifts away, we only have today
C#BF#C#
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
C#BF#
Heal me from all this sorrow
C#B
As I let you go I will find my way

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go
(yodelling chords: C# G# F# C# repeated twice)
C#BF#C#
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
BF#C#
Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go
BF#
I will find my way, I will sacrifice
C#G#A#F#
Now I'm living in your afterglow
C#F#
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides
C#
the thorns from the roses

It's you who is closest
