SUZANNE VEGA: "CARAMEL"

A pedido de la así denominada Pequeña gran mujer. Está en el tono original, que tiene sus complicaciones (no muchas, tampoco) pero resulta indispensable. Por ejemplo, ese C#7 es ahí y no en otro lado. De todos modos, se puede intentar aliviar las cejillas con un transporte en 3 (ahí el C#7 se toca como un Bb7 y suena totalmente distinto). La estrofa final se toca arpegiando.

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.

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

|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

SUZANNE VEGA: "MY FAVORITE PLUM"

Exquisita pieza final del disco "Nine objects of desire", del 90 y pico. Está subida un tono con respecto al original, que es Sol menor. Yo la toco con un transporte en 2. Atentti a la intro y el final (¡besheza!), vale la pena aprenderse el punteadito, que por lo demás es muy sencillo.

Intro: Tab. 1

|Am| My favorite |E| plum... |Am| hangs so |Dm| far from |E| me
|F| See how it |E| sleeps... |Dm7| and hear how it |Dm6| calls to |E| me
......|C| See how the flesh |Em| presses the skin,
......|Gm| It must be bursting with |Dm| secrets wi- |E| thin,
|F| I’ve seen the |E| rest, yes, and |Dm7| that is the |E| one for
 
|Am| me |Dm7 - E7| - |Am - Dm7 - E7|


|Am| See how it |E| shines... |Am| It will |Dm| be so |E| sweet
|F| I’ve been so |E| dry... |Dm7| It would make my |Dm6| heart com- |E| plete
......|C| See how it lays |Em| languid and slow
......|Gm| Never noticing |Dm| me here be |E| low
|F| I’ve seen the |E| best, yes, and |Dm7| that is the |E| one for

|Am| me |Am7+ - Am7 - Am6| |Dm6 - E7 - Am - F - E|

............|Am| Maybe a |Am7+| girl will take it
............|Am7| Maybe a |Am6| boy will steal it
............|Dm6| Maybe a |E7| shake of the bough
............will |Am| wake it and make it |F| fall |E|

|Am| My favorite |E| plum... |Am| lies in |Dm| wait for |E| me
|F| I’ll be right |E| here... |Dm7| longing |Dm6| endless- |E| ly
......|C| You’ll say that I’m |Em| foolish to trust
......But |Gm| it will be mine and I |Dm| know that it |E| must
cause |F| I’ve had the |E| rest, yes and |Dm7| that is the |E| one for |Am| me
|Dm7| I’ve seen the |E| best, yes and |F| that is the |E7| one for |Am| me


Final: Tab. 2
