Chords

______________________ / The Sea / /_____________________/ In this wonderfully sexy song there is nothing more than this 12 bars round. In the chorus, bars 2 and 4 are shortened to half the length, 2/4, which adds this cool twist to the groove. The guitar is not that prominent in this song, so I've just notated chords when it doesn't play anything in particular. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse: | Am | Am | Ammaj7 | Ammaj7 | | Am7 | Am7 | D9 | D9 | | F7 | F7 | E7 | E7 | Verse: The band comes in on D9, and from there the guitar strums these chords: D9 x 5 4 5 5 x F7 x x 3 2 1 1 E7 x x 2 1 0 0 Chorus: (2/4) (2/4) | Am | Am | Ammaj7 | Ammaj7 | | Am7 | Am7 | D9 | D9 | | F7 | F7 | E7 | E7 |
 This is the electric guitar part for the chorus:
  Am              (2/4)       Ammaj7          (2/4)

LYRICS ********** I didn't know the day was I didn't know what the time it was I didn't know what my heart would do I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone I was a creature of appetites And we played a game that you didn't like There wasn't nothing that I could do I can be so bad I can be so bad They just took it away and they broke it in two Colour my heart Colour my heart Make it restart Make it restart Colour my heart I want it more than I ever knew The blackest lily The blackest pony Won't protect my heart from you You were unnercingly delicate And I had a weekness for etiquette You laid a trail that led straight to your door And I could resist, but it was hard to ignore Colour my heart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 19th /July /10 Just mail me at [email protected] with questions, comments and corrections! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " Maitinin writing here - the author of this tab.
