Chords

from Roman Candle, 1994 Of course, Elliott tends to have two guitars going at once: one playing rhythm chords another playing a simple riff on the B string over it. However, the riff is playable in chords, so this is both combined. The strumming rhythm is tough to convey, so listen to the song. CHORDS USED: D x32010 Em x02210 C xx3211 Am xx0231 D 355433 D7 353433

VERSE:
The chords go D Em C Am, and the riff (on the B string) goes like this:

Verse Rhythm:

D         Em             C                Am             D
at a party he was waiting looking kind of spooky and withdrawn

D               Em         C                  Am               D
like he could be underwater the mighty mother with her hundred arms

D          Em  C  Am             D
swept all aside i hate to walk behind

D             Em       C  Am
other people's ambition i saw you waiting

Chorus Rhythm:

D     D7   D
saint like with your warning

C     Em    C           D
leave alone you don't belong here

he got nervous started whistling every thought a ricochet did you notice? well i wondered what's the worst thing i could say? and i froze up and sighed you remind me of someones daughter i forgot her i forgot her name ashamed go home and live with your pain leave alone leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong you don't belong here and when i go don't you follow leave alone leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong you don't belong here slip out quiet nobody's looking leave alone you don't belong here
