Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

@ Whose Trip Is This?


Emadd9             Bm9

Emadd9  Em   Em7   Bm9   Bm7


Em7
   I'm holding on to nothing
Bm9
     But this love for life
Em9 Em7                                 Bm9
       Things really haven't turned out right, 
oh no
Em9  Em7
        We're running at the wrong speed
Bm9
      Chasing our tails of time
Em9  Em7                                      F#m
          All God's children holding back the line
    G 
Someday we're bound to wake up
C#m7                         D
   And any fool could make it happen
C#m7                       D
    Any fool could make it work
C#m7                         D
    All they need is some compassion
Em7                      F#m
  Growing flowers in the earth
C               Am7 
Who's swimming, waving and drowning
    Em7                    Am7 
The silence grows more and more profound
        Dsus2 Bmadd11       Asus4  
Oh baby, who, whose trip is this?
C
I won't be blinded
    Am7
The sun may be shining
         Em7                Am7
But there's black clouds of smoke arising
        Dsus2 Bmadd11      A7sus4 
Tell me who, whose trip is this?
        Dsus2 Bmadd11         A7sus4
Oh tell me who, whose trip is this?


Standing still amidst the madness
Gravity pulls you in
It's time to question everything you see, mmm
Who's to say we must be dreaming
Believing we all are free
Cause dreams are what we're gonna need
Or else we'll never wake up
And any fool could make it happen
Any fool could make it work
All they need is some compassion
Growing flowers in the earth
Who's swimming, waving and drowning
The silence grows more and more profound
Oh baby, who, whose trip is this?
Moonlighting, finally stopped fighting
And it's patently all for nothing
Tell me who, whose trip is this
Oh tell me who, whose trip is this

G#m9   D#m7

G#m9   D#m7

F#  E    B
              G#m9
It's not good enough
              D#m7
To believe in change
     G#m7                 D#m7
When attitudes remain the same
F#  E                   B
Who, whose trip is this
               G#m9 
And I won't be rushed 
           D#m7
Or dealt a hand
   G#m9            D#m7
In somebody else's power plan
F#   E                   B
 Who, whose trip is this

Won't somebody tell me 'cause I
F#                E
I need to know now
              B
Whose trip is this (after all)
F#    E              B
  Who, whose trip is this

F#     E     B                

F#                        E
    Any fool can make it happen
B
   Can make it work
F#                        E
   All we need is some compassion
B
  And the will to learn

Tell me who, whose trip is this (after all)
