Chords

Not sure why this one isn't on here already. A great bluesy tune from Weller off his self-titled album, released in 1992. Slips into The Who's "Magic Bus" in the outro. [Legend] E = 022100 Dsus2 = xx0230 Dm9 = x5355x TR E(Esus4) = trill frets 1 & 2 on G string D = xx0232 Esus4 = 022200 C9 = x32333 E\ = xxx997 (slide down in outro) Em7 = 022030 Dsus4 = xx0233 Bb9 = x10111 E7* = 020200 (Magic Bus riff) A7 = x02020 E7 = 022130 Gsus4 = xx5533 D7 = xx0212 Gmaj7 = xx5432 Asus4 = xx7755 *Dsus2, Dsus4, Esus4, and E7 are optional; I throw them into the mix sporadically for a bit of ornamentation. ============================================================================================================== [Intro] |E |D |C#m7 |Bm7 | |E |D |E |D | [Verse 1]
E                 D
  In a momentary lapse of my condition

E                               D
  That sent me tumbling down into a deep despair

E                          D
  Lost and dazed, so I had no real recollection

Em7         A7               E
  Until the rain cleared the air
[Verse 2]
E                            D
  When you wake to find that everything has left you,

E                            D7
  And the clothes you wear belong to someone else

E                         D
  See your shadow chasing off towards the shoreline,

Em7        A7        E
  Drifting into emptiness
[Chorus]
          D             Dsus2   E
There are bullrushes outside my window,

          D              A            E
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze

      D                         E
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,

          G          A             E
Catch the first boat that's comin' in

               G          A             E    Esus4
I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in
[Verse 3]
E                           D                    Dsus2
  Like a child too small to reach the front door handle

E                             D7
  Or maybe just too scared to know what I would find

E                        D
  Now, I feel I'm strong enough to take the slow ride,

Em7           A7            E
  Not knowing when I will arrive
[Chorus]
                D       Dsus4    D    E
Hey — there are bullrushes outside my window,

          D              A            E
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze,

    D       Dsus4 D Dsus2     E
And tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,

          G          A             E
Catch the first boat that's comin' in

                     G          A             E    Esus4
Hey — I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in
[Bridge]
D                        E    E7
  I do believe I'm going home

D                                   E
  'Cause I don't call this place my own

Gmaj7         A
  I'm missing what I had,

Dm9     C9
  Happy times and sad,

C9            Bb9
  More than I ever thought could be
|Gsus4 |Asus4 | |Gsus4 |Asus4 | [Verse 4]
E                     D
  La-la la la la laa, laa la-la la la laa

E                     D7
  La-la la la la laa, laa la-la la laa

E                     D               Dsus2
  La-la la la la laa, laa la-la la la laa

Em7           A7          E
  Not knowing when I will arrive
[Chorus]

Hey — there are bullrushes outside my window,

          D              Asus4 A      E     Esus4
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze

      D            Dsus4 Dsus2  E      Esus4
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,

          G          A             E    Esus4
Catch the first boat that's comin' in

               G          A             E    E7
I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in

                     G          A             E  E7  E Esus4
Hey — I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in, yeah

G          A
First boat that's comin'

G          A
First boat that's comin'

G          A             E
First boat that's comin' in
