Chords transcribed by jpaquin@origin.ea.com
(John Paquin)
To play with capo, put the capo on
the 4th fret
and replace the cord pattern on the
left with the
cord pattern on the right:
(no capo) (w/capo)
E -----
C
G#m ----- Em
A -----
F
B -----
G (try to muffle the high E string!)
--------
Patty plays it without the capo but
with lots of open
chords like these:
E:
G#m: A: B:
e----------4----------------
B----------4------5---------
G----9-----4------6-----8---
D----9-----6------7-----9---
A----7-----6------------9---
E----------4------------7---
and when the chords below indicate
E ... A E,
play the A by just letting up the
A string and playing
it open for that one beat.
Here we go!!
*Verse 1:
--------
E
G#m
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed
for the sky
A
E
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly
E
G#m
And he looked at me, that long last
time
A
E
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
B
In an envelope, inside his coat
A
E
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
B
Along with, a note I wrote
A
B
Said "I love you but, I don't ...
even know why"
*Chorus:
-------
E A E
But darling, I wish you well
B
On your way to the wishing well
A
Swinging off of those gates of hell
B
E A E
But I can tell how hard you're trying
E
Just have that secret hope
B
sometimes all we do is cope
A
Somewhere on the steepest slope
B
There'll be an endless rope
E A E
and nobody crying.
*Verse 2:
---------
Same chords as 1st Verse except where
noted
Well a long night turns into a couple
long years
Of me walkin' around, around this
trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own
fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
B
It says that love is long gone
A
E
Every move I make is all wrong
B
Says you never gave a damn for me
A
B B7
For anything, for anyone
*Chorus:
--------
*Break:
-------
B
A E
May you dream you are dreaming, in
a warm soft bed
B
A
E
And may the voices inside you that
fill you with dread
B
A
E
Make the sound of thousands of angels
instead
B
A B B7
Tonight where you might be laying
your head
*Chorus:
--------
Slow, with feeling
And nobody crying,
Nobody crying
