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!
I'm assuming Brian plays this with a capo, since he doesn't typically play
shapes in the key of F, but if you wanna ditch the capo, just transpose up 3 so the
first chord reads "F".
The outro lyrics sound a little off to me but I just copied from Genius - if anyone
has corrections, let me know!
[Intro]
D Bm D G (x2)
[Verse 1]
D Bm
Did you spend most of your life waitin'
D G
On a fairytale read between pages?
D Bm
Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio
D A G
Is somebody waiting on the same song?
Bm G
And we sold our souls on the fantasies
D A
we found in records and black and white movies
Bm G
And I used to beg June to burn me alive,
D A
if that would get me anywhere but here
[Chorus]
D A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Bm G
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
D
And for most of my sad life
A Bm A G
I figured I was gonna die alone
D A
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Bm G
Twenty long years away from your heart
D A Bm A G
Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
D Bm D A G
My love is in my arms
[Verse 2]
D
And it was impossible
Bm
to hold on to anything
D G
In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone
D Bm
I kept pictures tucked up into the rearview above
D A G
to the sirens all lost in the ocean
Bm G
And all we wanted was absolutely everything
D A
Like foolish, hungry young lions
Bm G
I was lost and alone, a million light years from home
D A
It was nobody's fault but mine
[Chorus]
D A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Bm G
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
D
And for most of my sad life
A Bm A G
I figured I was gonna die alone
D A
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Bm G
Twenty long years away from your heart
D A Bm A G
But finally, finally, my love is in my arms
[Bridge]
Bm G
And was there a hole in your life?
D
Did you kill to keep warm but somehow
A
never quite satisfied?
Bm G
Do you feel like it's always time to go?
D
And it's always wrong, and it's always off,
A
and it's hard to know, which heart to hold
Bm G
Now do you lie to someone,
D A
is someone else, on your mind?
Bm G D A
Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?
[Chorus]
D A
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Bm G
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
D
And for most of my sad life
A Bm A G
I figured I was gonna die alone
D A
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Bm G
Twenty long years away from your heart
D A Bm A G
Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
D
My love is in my arms
[Outro]
D A
Etta James, Etta James
Bm G
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
D A
Etta James, Etta James
Bm G
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
D A
(At last, at last)
Bm G
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
D A
(At last, at last)
Bm G
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
G
Like Etta said, my love has come along
