Yo La Tengo - Alyda
President Yo La Tengo (1989)
Standard tuning, no capo
Only play the Dm7 for one stroke. I just move my ring finger (on the 2nd string) off the neck while my pointer
finger is on the first fret of both the 2nd and 1st strings.
[Intro]
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
[Verse 1]
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
Came the day you made your mind to put you down
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
Raised your voice and found it made a stronger sound
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm F
Alyda, what have you done to you
[Verse 2]
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
Did confusion make you act that self assured
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
To take the step that you were not yet ready for
[Chorus]
Dm C Dm F A
Alyda, what have you done to you
[Bridge]
A G
While you whiled away the hour
A G
Do you still the way i knew
A G
Do you dream of something better
Bb F C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
Or just something else to do
[Verse 3]
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
He said how you hopped until your feet grew corns
C Dm F Dm Dm7 Dm
Check for some reaction then just hop some more
[Outro Chrous]
