Kiss The Ground

Simple Minds


Tom: C#m

C#m E B C#m | 6x


[Verse]
C#m      E      B      C#m 
I'm in a golden temple
C#m  E          B      C#m
In a bombed out street
C#m      E         B     C#m
Feel the rough and tumble
C#m            E       B    C#m
Down where the borders meet
C#m        E           B      C#m
I hear the sandstorm's fallin'
C#m            E           B   C#m
Down where the tears have dried
C#m           E         B      C#m
And there's a west wind callin'
C#m       E     B
But I get no reply


[Chorus]
N.C.                F# A B
And I kiss the ground
             C#m   A
I kiss the ground
A       F#      B
Nothin' around


[Verse]
N.C.        E      B     C#m
There is no hidden karma
C#m         E      B      C#m
There is no sacred plight
C#m         E       B     C#m
There is no special amour
C#m         E           B
To take me through the night


[Chorus]
N.C.          F#  A B
I kiss the ground
              C#m  A
I kiss the ground
A       F#     B
Nothing around
              F#  A B
I kiss the ground
              C#m  A
I kiss the ground
A       F#     B
Nothing around


[Bridge]
         F#
Into the space between us
         B           F#
Into the words that say
           B    F#      A
That every law demeans us
           B         F#  A
Then every price you pay
            B      F#    
There is no hidden karma
            B      F#
There is no sacred plight
            B       F#    A
There is no special amour
           B           F#
To take me through the night


[Chorus]
N.C.            F# A B
I kiss the ground
             C#m  A
I kiss the ground
A        F#    A B
Nothing around
             C#m  A
I kiss the ground
A          F#     A B    
I kiss the ground
              C#m A
I kiss the ground
A       F#     A B
Nothing around
             C#m  A
I kiss the ground
            F#          A B
There is no manna-mania
             C#m          A
There is no banquet here
         F#            B
There is only ghettos
C#m
I kiss the ground
