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!
Great song! Not too difficult to play, either. If you have any corrections to make to
this tab, comment or
whatever and I'll fix it if it sounds better. By the way, for the instrumental break in the
middle and at the
end of the song, feel free to embellish the chords if you want. You can add in some 7ths
or 9ths, really
whatever sounds good to you. Ben Folds never plays it exactly the same way twice, so why
should you?
Bb BbM7
Every night around this time he has to sing 'Belinda'
Eb Eb/F
"Belinda, I love you, don't leave me, I need you"
Bb BbM7
He tried to stop a while back but what is he without her?
Eb Eb/F Eb Eb/D
A one hit wonder with no hits is what he is
F/C D/F#
And anyway, He always hears how much it means to people
Gm7 C7
There's a lot of forty somethings who wouldn't be in the world without it
Bb/F F
So now he does it with this lyric in his head
Cm Eb/Bb
Belinda, I loved you
F/A Eb9/G
I'm sorry that i left you
Bb Dm/A Gm7 Bb/F
I met somebody younger on a plane
Cm/Eb Eb/Bb F/A
She had big breasts a nice smile no kids either
AbM7 Bb/F
She gave me complimentary champagne
Eb9 C#
Bb BbM7
No-one ever wants to hear the song he wrote for Cindy
Eb Eb Eb/F
"Cindy, I love you, I need you, don't leave me"
Bb BbM7
And he can't blame them, they can tell his heart was never in it
Eb Eb/F Eb Eb/D
And Cindy never liked it but she never much liked him
Cm Eb/Bb F/A Eb9/G
Belinda, I loved you I'm sorry that I left you

Bb BbM7
So every night about this time he feels the old self loathing
Eb Eb/F
While the old folks in the audience sing along
Bb BbM7
And he smiles and waves the mic at them so they can do the chorus
EbM7 Eb/F Eb Eb/D
But he's not there, he's somewhere else
Cm/Eb Eb/Bb F/A
He's with Belinda
Bb Dm/A Gm7 Bb/F
In the days before he made it all go wrong
Cm/Eb Eb/Bb F/A
Belinda, I love you
