The Invisible Man

Written by Steve Hogarth/Mark Kelly/Marillion/Ian Mosley/Mr. H/Steve Rothery/Pete Trewavas

	  		

Here's a beast of a track! I have attempted to tab this as best I can but you 
will have to improvise through some of the quieter bits with a few random 
noises such as scraping down the strings or tapping the pickups! Otherwise the 
rest of it should be there! Enjoy! 

Guitar 1 - Distorted Guitar 
Guitar 2 - Acoustic Guitar 
Guitar 3 - Very Slightly Distorted Guitar 
Guitar 4 - Quite Distorted Guitar 
==============================

***A FEW SYNTH PARTS AND RANDOM GUITAR***

My body has gone 
But my eyes remain 
Hovering. Witnessing. 
Cold as a ghost ..watching the streets 
Sheltering in doorways of 
Venice, Vienna, 
Budapest, Krakow, and Amsterdam

You lit a candle  
Blessings in the cold night air

If I close my eyes 
I can see where you live 
Climb the winding stairs 
Up to your apartment 
The scent of you preparing 
His evening meal 
I must watch in dread 
When he's cruel to you 
In horrified silence 
As you make love 
I cannot lift a hand  
Lift a hand to stop him  
I don't exist What can I do? 
What can I do?
