Chords
This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the
as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called
minor.
There are a few things to remember for playing this song.
First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above
ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g.
Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add
and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the
c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string
instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this
e-0--0--0----------------------| b-1--1--1----------------------| g-0--0--2----------------------| d-0--0--2----------------------| a-3--2--0----------------------| e------------------------------|
Amin Cadd9 (walkdown) Amin
Amin
She was a middle class girlShe was in over her head
Dmin She thought she would Amin Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
Dmin She thought she had the moon Amin In her pocket Fmaj But now she's dead Amin Fmaj She's so dead Cadd9(walkdown) Amin Forever dead and lovely now Dmin Bmaj Dmin I've always been told to Bmaj Remember this... Amin Fmaj B7sus4 Don't let a fool kiss you Emaj Never marry for love Amin He was hard to impress Dmin He knew everyone's secrets Amin He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
Dmin
He kept her on a leashHe's not the kind of wheel
Amin You fall asleep at Fmaj But now she's dead Amin Fmaj Forever dead Amin Cadd9(Walkdown) Amin Forever dead and lovely now Dmin Bmaj Dmin Come closer, look deeper Bmaj You've fallen fast Amin Fmaj Just like a plane on a B7sus4 Emaj Stormy sea Amin She made up someone to be Dmin She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
Amin
World where that's noProblem at all
Everything that is left
Dmin
They will only plow underSoon every one you know
Amin Will be gone Fmaj And now she's dead Amin Forever dead Cadd9(walkdown) Forever dead and lovely now
Amin Dmin Amin Dmin
Fmaj Now she's dead Amin Forever dead Cadd9(walkdown)Amin Forever dead and lovely now Dmin Bmaj Dmin I've always been told to Bmaj Remember this... Dmin Fmaj B7sus4 Don't let a kiss fool you Emaj Never marry for love Amin Everything has its price Dmin Everything has its place
What's more romantic
Amin
Then dying in the moonlight?Now they're all watching the sea
Dmin
What's lost can never be brokenHer roots were sweet
Amin But they were so shallow Fmaj And now she's dead Amin Forever dead Cadd9(walkdown) Amin Forever dead and lovely now Fmaj And now she's dead Amin Forever dead Cadd9(Walkdown) Amin And she's so dead and lovely now *B7sus4 e----------| b----------| g---2------| d---2------| a---2------| e---2------|
