When I play it on keyboards I keep a low "D" epressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a role of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar. The main Dm chord progression doesn't change throughout the song. Pick it up a little when the drums come in and go crazy. In The Air Tonight -Phil Collins Intro: Keyboard and guitar fills (Dm-C-Bb-C) Dm C Bb C I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... Dm C Bb C I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord... Dm C Bb C Can you feel it coming in the air tonight..oh lord? Dm Oh lord... Well when you told me you were drowning... I would not lend a hand... I've seen your face before my friend... But I don't know if you kow who I am... But I was there and I saw what you did... Saw it with my own two eyes... So you can wipe off that grin...I know where you've been... It's all been a pack of lies... I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord... I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... Oh lord... Well I remember... I remember don't worry... How could I ever forget? It's the first time...and the last time we ever met... But I know the reason why you keep this silence up... No you don't fool me... For the hurt doesn't show... But the pain still grows.. Some stranger to you and me... (Drum fill) (bass enters) I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord... I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh lord... I've been waiting for this moment..for all my life..oh lord...

About artist:
Collins sang the lead vocals on eight American chart-toppers between 1984 and 1989; seven as a solo artist and one with Genesis. His singles, often dealing with lost love, ranged from the drum-heavy "In the Air Tonight", to the dance pop of "Sussudio", to the political statements of his most successful song, "Another Day in Paradise". His international popularity transformed Genesis from a progressive rock group to a regular on the pop charts and an early MTV mainstay. Collins' professional career began as a drummer, first with obscure rock group Flaming Youth and then more famously with Genesis. In Genesis, Collins originally supplied backing vocals for front man Peter Gabriel, singing lead on only two songs: "For Absent Friends" from 1971's Nursery Cryme album and "More Fool Me" from Selling England by the Pound, which was released in 1973. On Gabriel's departure in 1975, Collins became the group's lead singer. As the decade closed, Genesis's first international hit, "Follow You, Follow Me", demonstrated a drastic change from the band's early years. His concurrent solo career, heavily influenced by his personal life, brought both him and Genesis commercial success. According to Atlantic Records, Collins' total worldwide sales as a solo artist, as of 2002, were over 100 million.[2]
