/ Guano Apes / Proud Like a God (1999) / Crossing the Deadline guitar tab

Smoothness at its best.  This is a brilliant little number w/ liquid smooth verses and a hook chorus.  It's just a "big swirl of goodness!"

tuning:  standard
(I think Henning [Guano's guitarist] has a thing for Hybrid power chords...)

lyrics:

The sand, the sand it covers the land
it's just a victim
you didn't stop it
high noon and the walk brings the storm with it
born to it or lay on it

Day on day, night on night
with the thrill of a kid on my side
I will survive
As long as this trip will go
with my soul

I search for water
you need the cold
bring me some bubbles and a crown of gold
crossing the deadline befor it's too late
the finger snaps to the center of anger, wait

Cross the line you will suffer
(no bridge, just one step)
Cross the line...
(no bridge, no way back)
Cross the line...
(better give, better stand up)
Cross the line...
(better give up, better shut up)

So where's the mountain
I can't reach the top of this world

Key:
(t) - tap
h - hammer on
p - pull off
<#> - harmonic
/ \\ - slide
x - muffle

I'm gonna' even flow up out of this joint,
