Hello again! here's something a little newer, still from a time when
Genesis was writing very creative songs. This one's actually
written by Banks and Rutherford.
Squonk
by Genesis, from
_A Trick of the Tail_
unless otherwise noted, chords are in open position.
The intro is basically just like the first verse.
(1)
Dm7 C/D
Like father, ...
Dm7 C/D
Not flesh nor fish nor ....
Dm7 C/D
Alive at both ends but a ....
Dm7 C/D
A-tumbling and a-...
Em7/A F#m7/A
All the king's horses ....
Em7/A F#m7/A
could never put a smile ....
(2) follows the same pattern as (1)
This is a "chorus" bit, which comes after:
"...don't stand a chance"
"...all to see at night"
"...you'd better watch out"
"...just a pool of tears"
(repeat)

Bridge 1
The second time through the bit above, the measure of the G/D chord becomes
in 5/4 time, with a Gm6/D on the second half of beat 2. This only happens
here, leading into the first bridge.
C/D Dm7 Gm7 Gm Dmsus2,4 Dm add E

(4)

(to "chorus", no lyrics this time)
Bridge 2
(just like bridge 1)
I've got you, I've got ....
(to "chorus")
Second time through chorus, go up to an A chord on the second half
of beat 2 (still in 4/4), then go to the ending
Ending
Bsus4 B F#m
All in all you are ....
A E
Placing trust ....
B
You never had the things ..
F#m
and you'll not get ...
A E B
and all the while in perfect time ...
Where this goes from there, I'm not sure. I think there's a C# after the
B, but again I'm not entirely sure. But, this is the grand portion of
Sqounk, so don't let a little thing like the ending stop you from
enjoying it!
