Chords

Artist: Sloan Song: Bells On Album: Twice Removed (1994) Songwriter: Chris Murphy Transcription: Conrad This song does not at all follow a predictable 4-bar musical phrases pattern. Some of the phrases are 6 bars, some are 4 bars. It follows no real repeatable phrase pattern line to line. It also doesn't follow any usual song structure patterns. I swear that Chris Murphy wrote it this way just to annoy the rest of the band when they were learning how to play it for the first time. Listen to the song to figure out how it goes. [Verse 1]
      C
While I'm at this funeral

G             F
You're in New York

Though to you your friend was hurt

To him I owe him money

Will you pay back the thirty dollars

     Am          G
That he thinks I owe him?

If I had a funeral

Would you even care?

          C         Dsus2  G
Would you wear your silver dress?

          C     Dsus2   G         G
Would you actually wear lipstick?

          C    Dsus2  G
Would you lie upon my grave?

    Am            G
And be there with bells on
