MADNESS: "HOUSE OF FUN"

Adim es, como nadie ignora, xx1212. Atención que todos los estribillos tienen alguna variación (es Madness, no los Cadillacs). Nunca la música "de joda" fue tan buena, creo.

Inter: |D - C|

Box |D| of balloons, with the |C| feather-light touch
Pack of |D| party-poppers, that pop |C| in the night
A |F7| toothbrush and hairspray, plastic grin
Miss |E7| Clay on all corners has just walked in

......|Em| Welcome to the |C7| House of |Em| Fun, now I've |B7| come of age

Inter: |D - C| x 2

N-n-n-n-n-n-|D| no no miss, you mis-|C| understood
Six-|D| teen big boy, full pint |C| in my manhood

GENESIS: "SQUONK"

Muy linda, bastante fácil de tocar (no tiene posiciones enemigas) y en su tono original (cantable una octava más baja, eso sí). Dibujé todos los acordes (menos los de la parte del Fa mayor, que se toca con los usuales), porque hay varios del mismo nombre pero en distintas posiciones según la ocasión. El instrumental del medio con todos los acordes con bajo en D es una joya. 



Intro: |Dm - C/D| x 4 - |Em/A  -  A6  -  Em9/A  -  A|  

|Dm| Like father like |C/D| son, not |Dm| flesh nor fish nor bone
A |C/D| red rag hangs from an open mouth.
A-|Dm| live at both ends but a little |C/D| dead in the middle,
A-|Dm| tumbling and a-bumbling he |C/D*| will go.

...|Em/A| All the King's horses and |A6| all the King's men
...Could |Em9/A| never put a smile on that |A| face.

He's a |Dm| sly one, he's a shy one, wouldn't |C/D| you be too
|Dm| scared to be left all on his |C/D| own.
|Dm| Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to |C/D| play with, the Ugly Duckling
The |Dm| pressure on, the bubble will burst be-|C/D*| fore our eyes.

...|Em/A| All the while in |A6| perfect time
...His tears are |Em9/A| falling on the ground
...But if you |A| don't stand up you don't stand a chance.

Instr: |D*  -  E/D  -  C/D**  -  D*  -  G/D*  ---  D*  -  A/D  -  G/D| x 2 (Tab) - |Gm/D|

......|C/D| Go a little |Dm| faster now
......You |Bb/D| might get there in |C/D*| time. |Gm/D  -  Dm*|

............|F| Mirror |Am7| mirror on the |Dm| wall,
............His |Cm7| heart was broken long before he |Bb| ever came to |F| you.
............Stop your |Am7| tears from |Dm| falling,
............The |Cm7| trail they leave is very clear for |Bb| all to see at |F| night
............all to |Am7| see at...

Instr: |D*  -  E/D  -  C/D**  -  D*  -  G/D*  ---  D*  -  A/D  -  G/D| x 2 (Tab.)
          ... night.

|Dm| In season, out of |C/D| season
What's the |Dm| difference when you don't know the |C/D| reason.
In |Dm| one hand bread, the other a |C/D| stone.
|Dm| The hunter enters the |C/D*| forest.

...|Em/A| All are not huntsmen who |A6| blow the huntsman's horn
...By the look of |Em9/A| this one you've got not much to |A| fear.

|Dm| Here I am, I'm very fierce and |C/D| frightening
|Dm| Come to match my skill to |C/D| yours.
Now |Dm| listen here, listen to me, don't you |C/D| run away now
I |Dm| am a friend, I'd really like to |C/D*| play with you.

...Making |Em/A| noises my little furry |A6| friend would make
...I'll |Em9/A| trick him, then I'll kick him into my |A| sack.
...You better watch out... You better watch...

Instr: |D*  -  E/D  -  C/D**  -  D* -  G/D*  ---  D*  -  A/D  -  G/D| x 2 (Tab.) - |Gm/D|
          ... out.

......|C/D| I've got you, I've |Dm| got you
......you'll |Bb/D| never get a-|C/D*| way. |Gm/D  -  Dm*|

............|F| Walking |Am7| home that |Dm| night
............The |Cm7| sack across my back, the sound of |Bb| sobbing on my  
............|F| shoulder... When |Am7| suddenly it |Dm| stopped,
............I opened |Cm7| up the sack, all that I had, a |Bb| pool of bubbles
............and |F| tears, just a |Am7| pool of...

Instr: |D*  -  E/D  -  C/D**  -  D*  -  G/D*  ---  D*  -  A/D  -  G/D| x 2 (Tab.) - |A/D|
          ... tears.

............|B7-11| All in all you are a |F#m| very dying race
............|A| Placing trust upon a |E| cruel world.
............You never had the |B7-11| things you thought you should have had
............And |F#m| you'll not get them now,
............And all the |A| while in perfect time
............Your tears are |E| falling on the |B| ground. |E|

We're |D| closer now and |Dm/F| light years to |A7sus4| go

|D| Pick up here and |Dm/F| chase the ride.

......|G| None of this is |A| going my |D| way. |D7|

......|G| There is nothing |A| left to throw of |D| ginger, lemon, |Em| indigo,

TRAVIS: "LUV"

Original en D. Parece un quilombo, pero en realidad es bastante sencillo, son los acordes de siempre cambiando la nota do por si (en C - F - Dm7 y Am) y la nota fa por mi (en G7-G6), haciendo la misma melodía que canta Healy. F5b es x33201. Se puede escuchar acá. 


|C| What's so |Cmaj7| wrong, why the |C| face so |Cmaj7| long
is it |F| over? |F5b - F - F5b|
 And |Dm7| where you |Dm6| going that
|Dm7| you no |Dm6| longer be-|G7| long here? |G6 - G7 - G6|
 
And |C| distance |Cmaj7| tells you that |C| distance |Cmaj7| must come 
be-|Am| tween love |Asus2 - Am - Asus2|
Where have you |F| been, Luv? |F5b - F - F5b|
When the |G7| mistake we |G6| made was in |G7| never having |G6| planned 
to fall in |C| love, Luv |Cmaj7 - C - Cmaj7|
 
......|E| Singing this song, singing along
......Makes it |Am| easier for me to see you go
......But |Dm| in doing so, I'm letting you go
......It only |G| serves to show me, that I'm still in love with you

Inter: |C - Cmaj7| x 2 - |F - F5b| x 2 - |Dm7 - Dm6| x 2 - |G7 - G6| x 2

......|E| Singing this song, singing along
......Makes it |Am| easier for me to see you go
......But |Dm| in doing so, I'm letting you go
......It only |G| serves to show me that I'm still in love with you

So |C| what's so |Cmaj7| wrong, why the |C| face so |Cmaj7| long
Are you |F| changing? |F5b - F - F5b|
And |Dm7| where you |Dm6| been to 
that |Dm7| you no |Dm6| longer re- |G7| member? |G6 - G7 - G6|
 
And |C| distance |Cmaj7| tells you that |C| distance |Cmaj7| must come 
be-|Am| tween love |Asus2 - Am - Asus2|
Where have you |F| been, Luv? |F5b - F - F5b|
When the |G7| mistake we |G6| made was in |G7| never having |G6| planned 
to fall in |C| love, Luv |Cmaj7 - C - Cmaj7| 

......It's just the |G7| chance we |G6| took having |G7| never ever |G6| planned 
......to fall in |C| love, Luv |Cmaj7 - C - Cmaj7| 
......It's just the |G| chance we took having never ever planned
......to fall in |F| love, |G| Luv |C|
