Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
These are almost definitely not the chords she plays, but I think they work. I threw in some variations
for each verse, but it's mostly the same pattern! Enjoy!
G
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
Am A7
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Em Am G
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café
G
You laugh he said you think you're immune
Am A7
Go look at your eyes they're full of moon
Em Am G
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies
C F
Pretty lies when you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
G Am A7 D7
Only pretty lies just pretty lies
G
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he
Am A7
Pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirr
Em Am
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
G
And she said "Drink up now it's getting' on time to close"
G
"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said
Am A7
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
Em Am G
You got tombs in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming
C
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
F
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
G Asus
Oh and love can be so sweet Love so sweet
G
Richard got married to a figure skater
A7
And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
Em Am
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
G
And all the house lights left up bright
G
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
Am
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about
Em Am
All good dreamers pass this way some day
G C
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes, dark cafes
F G
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings and fly away
Am G Asus
Only a phase these dark café days
for each verse, but it's mostly the same pattern! Enjoy!
