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!
The chords below are written for a guitar with no capo, in standard tuning.
I'm led to believe Elliott tuned down his guitar a whole step, and placed a capo
on the first fret. In that case, you'd be playing the chords a half-step up: Bb would be B, etc.
I recommend checking the chord diagrams.
Bb Dm/A Eb/G Bb Dm/A
Here's the silhouette, the face always turned away
Gm/Bb Gm/E Eb Bb Dm/A
The bleeding colour gone to black, dying like a day
G7 Cm Eb/Bb Ab
Couldn't figure out what made you so un - happy
Ab Eb Db Cm
Shook your head to say no no no
Eb/Bb Ab
And stopped for a spell
Eb/G F7
And stayed that way
G7 Fm
Oh well, okay
Bb Dm/A Eb/G Bb Dm/A
I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
Gm/Bb Gm/E Eb Bb Dm/A
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
G7 Cm Eb/Bb Ab
With the one I keep, where it never fades
Ab Eb Db Cm
In the safety of a pitch-black mind
Eb/Bb Ab
An airless cell
Eb/G F7
That blocks the day

Oh well, okay
