Req: Strange Fruit chords.
Linus Bj|rklund
I am looking for chords for the songs played by the fictious band Strange
Fruit in the movie Still Crazy.
So far I have managed to tab out one song from the soundtrack (The Flame
Still Burns).
But I would really like to see if anybody has any other songs or any
other/better version of the flame still burns.
Strange Fruit - The Flame Still Burns (from the Still Crazy O.S.T.)
By Mick Jones (from Foreigner), Marti Fredericksen, Chris Difford
Really strong ballad, and lead theme from the movie Still Crazy.
It´s sung by British (?) actor/singer Jimmy Nails (lead vocal) and
British actor <Something> Nighy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
A | E | Hm | A E |
A | E | Hm | A E |
A D A
I live a life that's surreal
D A E
Where all that I feel I am learning
A D A
For life has been turned on the lathe
D A E
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning
F#m E A
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery
D A E
When you shake the tree of temptation
F#m E A
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost
D A E
Of a paradise lost in frustration
A E
And the flame still burns
Hm A E
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
A E
And the flame still burns
Hm A E
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
D
In my life
In my life, yeah
Bridge/Solo:
A | E | Hm | A E |
A | E | Hm | A E |
A D A
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
D A E
The unspoken words of my wisdom
A D A
Today, as the light starts to flow
D A E
Tomorrow who knows who will listen
F#m E A
But my life has no language of love
D A E
No word from above is appearing
F#m E A
Or the time, and time is a fire that's stoked
D A E
with the reason of hope and believing
A E
And the flame still burns
Hm A E
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
A E
And the flame still burns
Hm A E
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
A
In my life
Bridge/Solo:
E | Hm | A E |
A | E | Hm | A E |
[Havent figured out the part below, mainly because I dont like it, so just
leave it out will ya?]
Keep a rollin', keep that flame still burnin'
Keep a rollin', while the world keeps turnin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
[Same chords as before]
And the flame still burns
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life, in my life.
[Also in the end here the song starts to flip out, so just cut it here]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could tab out the bridges and the intro but just listen to the song
instead, its really easy.
This however does NOT apply to the solo-part of the flipping out in the
end.
Quite difficult (for me at least), and as I said that part just messes up
the song anyway.
If anyone still really wants a tab for the song please go ahead, and
please feel free tom mail it to me:
And notice, this is my first transcription (I did it because I could not
find this song anywhere on the net),
so please don't flame (hehe) me for any mistakes. And if you have a tab or
chord for any other
Strange Fruit songs please mail them to me.
