Perfect Strangers Lyrics

PERFECT STRANGERS -- Deep Purple
Intro (by keyboard)
Intro (continues with the band):
Can you remember, remember my name as I flow through
your life a thousand oceans I have flown ooh and
|Am |riff_1 |Am |riff_1 |
cold, cold spirits of ice.
|Am |riff_1 |Am | |
All my life I am the echo of your past
I am returning, the echo of a point in time, distant faces
shine a thousand warriors I have known and
|Am |riff_1 |Am |riff_1 |
laughing as the spirits appear
|Am |riff_1 |Am | |
all your life shadows of another day
and if you hear me talking
on the wind you've got to understand we must re-
-main perfect strangers
|:A5 Bb5 G5 |A5 F5 A5 G5 :| x3
I know I must remain inside this silent well of
sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky touching more than you
see the voice of ages in your mind oooh, is
|Am |riff_1 |Am |riff_1 |
aching with the death of the night o - oooh -
|Am |riff_1 |Am | |
-aww precious life your tears are lost in falling rain
and if you hear me talking
on the wind you've got to understand we must re-
-main perfect strangers
|:E5 F5 D5 |E5 C5 E5 D5 :| x3
|:E5 F5 D5 |E5 C5 E5 D5 :| repeat till end
Well the 9/4 parts gave me a bit of a headace, so I chose to put a 5/4
measure there and keep the rest 4/4's. The accents in there come mostly
at the 2nd half of each 1/4. (As one-AND-two-AND...)
What to play on Am - riff_1: Basically it's just A5/Am through, but I noticed
that it's easier to keep track of where you are, if you count the riffs
especially, when you are singing. :)
