SUZANNE VEGA: "NEW YORK IS A WOMAN"

De su último disco, "Beauty & Crime". Disculpen por el A7/C#, pero es ése y no otro. No es tan difícil, vamos, y vale la pena: esa progresión de acordes, con los bajos bien marcados, es una delicia.

Intro: |Em - B7/Eb - G/D - A7/C# - C - B7|

|G| New York City |D/A| spread herself be- |E| fore you (bajo: b - d)
With her |C| bangles and her |G| spangles and her |D/A| stars
|G| ... You were im- |D/A| pressed with the |E| city so undressed (b - d)
You |C| had to go out |D/A| cruising all the |G| bars |G|

Your |G| business trip ex- |D/A| tended through the |E| weekend (b - d)
Su- |C| burban boy |G| here for your first |D/A| time
From the |G| twenty-seventh |D/A| floor a- |E| bove the midtown roar (b - d)
You were |C| startled by her |D/A| beauty and her |G| crime

......And she's |Fmaj7| every girl you've seen in every |Cmaj7| movie
......|Fmaj7| Every dame you've ever known on |Cmaj7| late night TV
............In her |Em| steam and |B7/Eb| steel is the |G/D| passion you |A7/C#| feel
............|C| ... En- |B7| dlessly

............|G| New York is a |D/A| woman she'll |E| make you cry (b - d)
............|C| And to her you're |D/A| just another |G| guy

|G| ... Look down and |D/A| see her ruined |E| places (b - d)
|C| Smoke and ash still |G| rising to the |D/A| sky
She's |G| happy that you're |D/A| here but |E| when you disappear (b - d)
She |C| won't know that you're |D/A| gone to say |G| goodbye

Instr: |Fmaj7 - Cmaj7| x 2 |Em - B7/Eb - G/D - A7/C# - C - B7|

 ...........|G| New York is a |D/A| woman she'll |E| make you cry (b - d)
............|C| And to her you're |D/A| just another |G| guy

......And she's |Fmaj7| every girl you've seen in every |Cmaj7| movie
......|Fmaj7| Every dame you've ever known on |Cmaj7| late night TV
............In her |Em| steam and |B7/Eb| steel is the |G/D| passion you |A7/C#| feel
............|C| ... Des- |B7| perately

............|C| And to her you're |D/A| just another |G| guy

THE POLICE: "EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE"

Original en G#, si no recuerdo mal. Pese a que es célebre por su punteado, no por ello deja de ser perfectamente rascable. Tratar de meter los Gsus4, aquí llamados G4 en honor a la brevedad, que quedan muy bien. Es cierto que así suena un poco grave, de modo que no está mal subirla un semitono, un tono o más, de acuerdo al cantaor.


Every breath you |C| take and every move you |Am| make
Every bond you |F| break, every step you |G4| take, 
I'll be watching you |Am|

Every single |C| day and every word you |Am| say
Every game you |F| play, every night you |G| stay, 
I'll be |G4| watching you |C|
 
......Oh can't you |F| se--|F7|--e you belong to |C| me?
......How my poor heart |D7| aches with every step you |G| take
 
Every |G4| move you |C| make and every vow you |Am| break
Every smile you |F| fake, every claim you |G| stake, 
I'll be |G4| watching you |Am|

............|G#| Since you've gone I've been lost without a |Bb| trace
............I dream at night, I can only see your |G#| face
............I look around but it's you I can't re- |Bb| place
............I feel so cold and I long for your em- |G#| brace
............I keep crying baby, baby  

Inter: |C| please |Am - F - G - Am|

......Oh can't you |F| se--|F7|--e you belong to |C| me?
......How my poor heart |D7| aches with every step you |G| take 

Every |G4| move you |C| make and every vow you |Am| break
Every smile you |F| fake, every claim you |G| stake, 
I'll be |G4| watching you |Am| 
Every move you |F| make, every step you |G| take, 
I'll be watching you |Am|
I'll be watching |C| you |Am|
|F| I'll be watching |C| you |Am|
|F| I'll be watching |C| you |Am| 
|F| I'll be watching |C| you

BEATLES: "I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE"

Ya le venían faltando los Beatles a este blog, pero de una manera escandalosa, mirá. Esta de "Help" es eminentemente guitarrera. Está bajada un tono para facilitar meter los bajos, que son fundamentales durante las estrofas. De paso, así en Sol es más fácil de cantar, sobre todo para aquellos pobres mortales como yo, que no damos los agudos que daba McCartney a los 20 años.

|G| I’ve just seen a face I can’t forget the time or |G| place where |G/F#| we just
|Em| met, she’s just the girl for me and I want all the |Em| world to |Em/D| see we’ve 
|C| met... |C| mmm |C/B| mmm |D/A| mmm mm mm |G| mm

|G| Had it been another day I might have looked the |G| other |G/F#| way
And |Em| I’d have never been aware, but as it is I’ll |Em| dream of |Em/D| her 
to- |C| night... |C| la |C/B| la |D/A| la la la |G| la

......|D| Falling, yes I am |C| falling
......And she keeps |G| calling |C| ... me back a- |G| gain

|G| I have never known the like of this, I’ve been a- |G| lone and |G/F#| I have
|Em| missed things and kept out of sight for other girls were |Em| never |Em/D| quite like 
|C| this... |C| la |C/B| la |D/A| la la la |G| la 

......|D| Falling, yes I am |C| falling
......And she keeps |G| calling |C| ... me back a- |G| gain

Instr: |G - G/F# - Em/D - C - C/B - D/A - G|


......|D| Falling, yes I am |C| falling
......And she keeps |G| calling |C| ... me |G| back again

|G| I’ve just seen a face I can’t forget the time or |G| place where |G/F#| we just
|Em| met, she’s just the girl for me and I want all the |Em| world to |Em/D| see we’ve 
|C| met... |C| la |C/B| la |D/A| la la la |G| la

......|D| Falling, yes I am |C| falling
......And she keeps |G| calling |C| ... me back a- |G| gain (bajo: G - F# - E)
......|D| Falling, yes I am |C| falling
......And she keeps |G| calling |C| ... me back a- |C| gain |D - G|
