ELLIOTT SMITH: "ALAMEDA"

El original creo que era en A.



|G| You walk down alameda, |F#7| shuffling your 
deck of trick |Em| cards over every-|Cmaj7| one
Like some |G| precious only |F#7| son
|Em| Face down, bow to the champi-|Cmaj7| on

|G| You walk down alameda, |F#7| looking at the
cracks in the side-|Em| walk, thinking about your |Cmaj7| friends
How you |G| maintain all them |F#7| in
|Em| a constant state of sus-|Cmaj7| pense

For your |Am| own pro-|B7| tection
|Em| over |G| their affection

......|Bb| Nobody broke your |Dm| heart,
......you |Gm| broke your |C7| own 'cos you can't
......|F| finish what you |G| start

You walk down alameda, |F#7| brushing off the
nightmares you |Em| wish, could plague me when I'm a-|Cmaj7| wake
So now you |G| see your first mis-|F#7| take
|Em| was thinking that you could re-|Cmaj7| late

For |G| one or |C| two... |C| minutes she liked |D| you |Em|
But |G| the |D| fix |C| is

Instr: |G - F#7 - Em - Cmaj7|
............in...

You're |Am| all pre-|B7| tension
|Em| I never |G| pay attention

......|Bb| Nobody broke your |Dm| heart,
......you |Gm| broke your |C7| own 'cos you can't
......|F| finish what you |G| start

......|Bb| Nobody broke your |Dm| heart,
......you |Gm| broke your |C7| own 'cos you can't
......|F| finish what you |G| start

......|Bb| Nobody broke your |Dm| heart,
......if |Gm| you're a-|C7| lone it must be
......|F| you that wants to be a-|G| part

Final: |Bb - Dm - Gm - C7 - F - G ---- Bb|

FUN.: SOME NIGHTS (INTRO)

Para guapos del canto.



There are |C| some nights I hold on to every note I ever wrote
|Dm| Some nights, I say "fuck it all" and stare at the calendar
|Em| Waiting for catastrophes, imagine when they scare me
Into |F| changing whatever it is I am changing into |G5 - G6 - G7|

(And you have every right to be scared).

Cos there are |C| some nights I hold you close, pushing you to hold me
Or |Dm| begging you to lock me up, never let me see the world
Some |Em| nights, I live in horror of people on the radio
|F| Tea parties and Twitter, I've never been so bitter

......And |C| you-|G|-u-|C|-u, why you wanna |Dm| stay?
......Oh my God! Have you listened to me |Dm| lately?
......Lately, I've been going |G| crazy...

......And |C| you-|G|-u-|C|-u, why you wanna |Dm| stay?
......Oh my God! Have you listened to me |Dm| lately?
......Lately, I've been fucking |G| crazy...

There are |C| some nights I wait for someone to save us
But I |Dm| never look inward, try not to look upward
And |Em| some nights I pray a sign is gonna come to me
But |Am| u-|G| sual-|F| ly, I'm just trying to get some |C| sleep...

|G| Some |C| nights!

JEFF LYNNE: "SHE"

Versión del original de Aznavour y no sé quién otro, de 1974, también famosamente cubierta por Elvis Costello hace un tiempo. El tío Jeff, por supuesto, le pasa el trapo a todos a pura calidez. El original está en C, tocar con capo en 3. Ebdim es xx1212, Bbdim xx2323 y Dm6 xx0201.



Intro: |A - D - E4 - E| 

|A| She... may be the face I can't for-|Ebdim| get
The trace of pleasure or re-|D| gret
May be my treasure or the |A| price I have to |Bbdim| pay

|Bm| She... may be the song that summer |Dm6| sings
May be the chill that autumn |A| brings
May be a hundred different |D| things
Within the |E4 - E| measure of a |A| day |D - E4 - E|

|A| She... may be the beauty or the |Ebdim| beast
May be the famine or the |D| feast
May turn each day into a |A| heaven or a |Bbdim| hell

|Bm| She may be the mirror of my |Dm6| dreams
The smile reflected in a |A| stream
She may not be what she may |B7| seem
In-|E4| side |E| her |A| shell... |A|

......|F| She... who always seems so happy 
......|C| in... a crowd whose eyes are private and 
......|Bb| so proud... No one's allowed to see them 
......|A7| when they cry...

......|Dm| She... may be the |G7| love that cannot hope to 
......|C| last... may come to |F| me from shadows of the |B7| past
......That I'll remember till the day I |E| die

|A| She... may be the reason I sur-|Ebdim| vive
The why and wherefore I'm a-|D| live
The one I'll care for through the |A| rough and rainy |Bbdim| years

|Bm| Me... I'll take her laughter and her |Dm6| tears
And make them all my souve-|A| nirs
For where she goes I've got to |B7| be
The meaning |E4| of my |E| life is
|D| She
|A| She |Bm - D/F#|  
|A| She
