Ordinary World



Intro (same as chorus):  A - Em - G6/C G - D	(2x)

Bm
Came in from a rainy thursday
A         Em
on the avenue
Bm                               A    Em
thought I heard you talking softly
Bm
I turned on the lights, the tv
A           Em
and the radio
Bm                                A     Em
still I can't escape the ghost of you

Bm
What is happened to it all?
F#m
Crazy, some say
C#m7                           G
Where is the life that I recognize?
gone away

A                         Em
But I won't cry for yesterday
                     G6/C
there's an ordinary world
        G           D
somehow I have to find
A                        Em
And as I try to make my way
                 G6/C
to the ordinary world
        G           D
I will learn to survive

(Break: finger pick a Bm with some variations, walking down the high notes)

(The rest of the song is the same as above!)

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, runaway
left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here beside the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(Just blowing away)

And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
every world is my world

	ORDINARY WORLD (Duran Duran)

Here is the easily recognizable guitar melody.  It's done with an
acoustic through most of the song, but the last time it's electric.  
Use a single finger on the high E string and slide it down the string 
when changing frets.

E---12-12-12-12---11-11-11---9-9-9-7-7-----14-14-14-14---12-12-12---|

E---11-11-11-9-9---7-7-0-7-0-7-0-7-0----0-5-0-5-0-5-0-5-------------|

The verses are: C#m (446654) E   (022100) B (224442)
 C#m                         E                  B C#m
"Passion or coincidence/once prompted you to say/"Pride will tear 
             E    B
us both apart..."

The bridge is:  C#m (446654) G#m (466444) B (224442) E (022100)
 C#m                      G#m               B              
"What is happening to me?/Crazy some say.../Where is my friend when
    E               E
I need you most?/Gone away..."

And the chorus: B   (224442) F#m (244222) A (002220) E (022100)
 B                          F#m                       A
"And I don't cry for yesterday,/there's an ordinary world,/somehow I
     E    B                           F#m                A

have to find...And as I try to make my way/to the ordinary world/I will 
       E
learn to survive..."

Those chords also fit over that melody tabbed above.  I do not have a 
tabbing for the short acoustic break between verses 1 & 2.  (Any
volunteers out there?)
