Chords

From the Difford & Tilbrook album Arpeggios intro: You're on your own here! VERSE:

C                       Am7
    You’re banging your drum

                      A#          C
    You blow your own trumpet

C                  Am7
    Your ship came in

                     A#          C
    And your fanfare sunk it

C                Am7                        A#       C
    The tide has turned, our love’s gone forever,   ever

Am7                Bm7
    I stand on the shore

                          C        C/D
    As it floats down the river,   river

CHORUS:

G/B       A#6
I had such hopes

                   D#           C C/D
I had such visions planned

    G/B        A#6
The frames were shot

                     D#         C C/D
But now our future’s canned

D6                                         C9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

D6                                         C9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

VERSE:

C                Am7
I’m banging my head

A#                    C
You watch without malice

(You watch with no interest at all)

C                Am7
I bet all your friends

A#                    C
Compare this to “Dallas”

(I might as well talk to a brick wall)

C               Am7            A#       C
So under the arm I feel the cold shoulder

Am7                Bm7
So I’ll once again 

                C        C/D
have to play the wild rover

REPEAT CHORUS: INSTRUMENTAL: G/B C F/D F/E C/G C/A G/B C F/A F/D C C/A

G/B A#6            D#         C C/D
Do I need all this pressure

G/B A#6      D#        C C/D
Do I bury my temper

G/B                                       A#6
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

D6                                         C9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down
