Monochrome Chords & Lyrics - Novelists

[Note]
Every segment that is followed by an interlude carries over its ending chord so to say,
i.e. if you played the last chord of the verse you can skip the first chord of the interlude.

Interludes also are repeated a couple of times, in the recording there is a saxophone solo
or guitar solo present at that point
