Intro: Dmaj9, Bmaj9 :|| Bmaj9, Db/B :|| Bmaj9 Db/B Finally breaking free, Bmaj9 Db/B High on DMT. Db9 (poss. Db-9) Running in the sea, A69 Or being here with me: B-9 F# Whatever you desire E Can be. Bmaj9 Db/B A giddy little thrill, Bmaj9 Db/B Then a mystic chill, Db9 As time appears to Bminor7 A6/9 Hold you still. Gmaj7sus2 Another world; C#minor7 Another place; Gmaj7sus2 Another face; F#-7 Another race! Fmaj13 Emaj13 Your eyes still move, Fmaj13 Emaj13 And you feel that groove. Dmaj13 C#maj13 Dmaj9 Then you feel alone again. Intro (repeat) Bmaj9 Db/B Finally breaking free, Bmaj9 Db/B High on DMT. Db9 Running in the trees, A69 Or being what you please: Bminor 9 F# Whatever you desire E Can be. Db/B = Db in second inversion (F, Ab, Db). Rhythm guide: 7/8 (3, 2, 2) and 4/4 (3, 2, 3), plus 5/4 at the end of the chorus.

('then you feel alone again' ... that's 3, 3, 3, 1).

Intro 4/4

Verse: well, it's not written down, but essentially a repeated pulse pattern of two bars: 7/8, 4/4. (3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3), then 4/4 for the concluding phrase.

Chorus: 4/4, with the release bar in 5/4.

Rhythm grid: Intro: 3+2+3/8, then it switches to 4/4 (3, 3, 2). Verse `1: four bars of 7/8 (3, 2, 2), two bars 13/8 (3, 3, 3, 2, 2), three bars of 4/4. Interlude: 4/4 Verse 2: essentially the same, replacing the 13/8 bars with one bar of 10/8 (3, 3, 2, 2),

two bars of 4/4. Chorus: 4/4. Final bar is 10/8. Verse reprise: essentially the same.


If I was to write this as notation, I'd also add a few bars with commas. That's a vocal writing thing, and essentially signifies a catch breath.

There's essentially two ways to master inversions on the guitar: classical or bluegrass. 🤣
