THE DIVINE COMEDY: "THE COMPLETE BANKER"

Otra del nuevo disco, que seguramente los amigos sabrán apreciar. Habla de la crisis financiera y define a los banqueros como un cáncer maligno de la sociedad, con un grado de crispación y falta de consenso republicano tal vez inesperadas tratándose del elegante y atildado Mr. Hannon. No todo son Martinis y acosar a damas casadas en esta vida, evidentemente.

Un par de cosas: a) el Dm6 (que sería xx0201) en realidad y en puridad es Dm/B (pruebenlá), posición jodida que me pareció mejor cambiar por aquélla. En el original es Cm/A, una papita, pero los otros acordes son imposibles. b) El Fm del final del estribillo, si pueden, va con bajo en G#, queda chiche chiche. c) El tono original es Dm. d) Va versión en vivo, el Neil solo y su alma y su piano.

|Dm| from some-|Am| body's |Dm| loss |Am|
