Song: Carnation Artist: The Jam Composer: Paul Weller Album: The gift Tabbed by DJ 19th June 2014 IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database and often don't show the best options for a particular chord progression. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Am = x02210 D7sus4 = xx0213 C = x32010 Bm = x24432 G = 320033 E7 = 020100 Bb = x13331 E7sus4 = 020200 Gm = xx5333 Asus4 = x02230 or 577755 GmM7/F# = xx4333 A7sus2/F = xx3203 Gm7/F = xx3333 Fmaj7b5 = xx3200 Gm6/E = xx2333 Fmaj7 = xx3210 Cm = x35543 G6 = xx5430 Bb * = 688766 Esus4 = 033300 D7 = xx0212 E = 022100 F = 133211 Please take a second to swipe down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Verse 1]
Am                   C
    If you gave me a fresh carnation,

G                           Bb
    I would only crush its' tender petals,

Am                      C
    With me you'll have no escape,

G
    And, at the same time,

            Bb
There'll be nowhere to settle
[Verse 2]
Gm    GmM7/F#  Gm7/F    Gm6/E      Cm
    I trample  down all life in my wake,

         D7     D7sus4 D7  Bm
I eat it up and take   the cake,

           E7      E7sus4  E7  Am
I just a - vert my eyes to the pain,

             D7          D7sus4 D7 Am
Of someone's loss help - ing    my gain
[Verse 3]
Am                   C
    If you gave me a dream for my pocket,

G                            Bb
    You'd be plugging in the wrong socket,

Am                      C
    With me, there's no room for the future,

G                       Bb
    With me, there's no room with a view at all
[Verse 4]
Gm      GmM7/F# Gm7/F  Gm6/E         Cm
   I am out of  season all the year 'round,

              D7          D7sus4  D7 Bm
The machinery roars to my empt  - y  sound,

         E7        E7sus4 E7    Am
Touch my heart and feel   win - ter,

        D7          D7sus4 D7    Cm
Hold my hand and be doomed for - ever

Gm            GmM7/F#  Gm7/F  Gm6/E     Cm
    If you're wonder - ing by now who I am,

        D7      D7sus4 D7  Bm
Look no further than   the mirror,

          E7     E7sus4 E7  Am
Because I am the greed  and fear,

          D7       D7sus4 D7  Cm
And every ounce of hate   in  you
