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|
