SUZANNE VEGA: "CARAMEL"

A pedido de la así denominada Pequeña gran mujer. Está en el tono original, que tiene sus complicaciones (no muchas, tampoco) pero resulta indispensable. Por ejemplo, ese C#7 es ahí y no en otro lado. De todos modos, se puede intentar aliviar las cejillas con un transporte en 3 (ahí el C#7 se toca como un Bb7 y suena totalmente distinto). La estrofa final se toca arpegiando.

EMILIANA TORRINI: "SUNNY ROAD"

A pedido de Andrea M. Ni idea tenía de la existencia de esta joven islandesa (es que papi es italiano, por eso, cosas de la globalización, antes un islandés se llamaba Strondekirkjargarg, ahora se llaman igual que un vecino mío, increíble). Linda canción.



Intro 1: |Am* - Em/A - Am| - |Bb - C - A| x 4

Intro 2: |Am7 - Am7/G - Am/F - Am/E - C| x 2

 

|Am7| Wrote you |Am7/G| this, I |Am/F| hope you |Am/E| got it |C| safe
|Am7| It's been so |Am7/G| long, I |Am/F| don't know |Am/E| what to |C| say

|Am7| I've travelled |Am7/G| 'round through |Am/F| deserts |Am/E| on my |C| horse
|Am7| But jokes a- |Am7/G| side, I |Am/F| wanna |Am/E| come back |C| home
 
......|C| You know |E7| ... that night I |Fmaj7| said I had to |D7| go
......|Am7| You said you'd |Am7/G| meet me, 
......|Am/F| on the |Am/E| sunny |C| road

............|Am*| It's |Em/A| time, |Am| meet me  
............|Bb| on the |C| sunny |A| road
............|Am*| It's |Em/A| time, |Am| meet me
............|Bb| on the |C| sunny |A| road 

Inter: |Am7 - Am7/G - Am/F - Am/E - C| x 2


|Am7| I never |Am7/G| married, |Am/F| never |Am/E| had those |C| kids
|Am7| I loved too |Am7/G| many, now |Am/F| heaven's |Am/E| closed its |C| gates.
 
|Am7| I know I'm |Am7/G| bad to |Am/F| jump on |Am/E| you like |C| this
|Am7| Some things don't |Am7/G| change, my |Am/F| middle |Am/E| name's still |C| "risk"
 
......|C| I know |E7| ... that night, so |Fmaj7| long, long time a- |D7| go
......|Am7| Will you still |Am7/G| meet me,
......|Am/F| on the |Am/E| sunny |C| road 

............|Am*| It's |Em/A| time, |Am| meet me  
............|Bb| on the |C| sunny |A| road
............|Am*| It's |Em/A| time, |Am| meet me
............|Bb| on the |C| sunny |A| road 

Inter: |Am7 - Am7/G - Am/F - Am/E - C|


|Am7| Well, this is |Am7/G| it, I'm |Am/F| running |Am/E| out of |C| space
|Am7| Here is my ad |Am7/G|dress and |Am/F| number |Am/E| just in |C| case.
 
......|C| This time |E7| ... as one, we'll |Fmaj7| find which way to |D7| go
......|Am7| Now come and |Am7/G| meet me,
......|Am/F| on the |Am/E| sunny |C| road

XTC: "GRASS"

Servido el amigo Julio. El tono original es E, así que se iguala con capo en 2, cosa que se recomienda para que no quede tan grave la voz. Para variar y no tocar siempre el Em7-4, cada tanto se puede tocar un Em7 común. Lo mismo con el G6/A, que se puede reemplazar por A7-4, que suena casi igual, sí, pero solo casi. Qué grande XTC.



|D| Laying on the |Em7-4| grass my heart it flares like |D| fire |Em7-4|
The |D| way you slap my |Em7-4| face just fills me with de-|D|sire |Em7-4| 

......|A| You play hard to |G6/A| get 
......|A| 'Cause you're teacher's |G6/A| pet
......But |A| when the boats have |G6/A| gone
......|A| We'll take a |G| tumble ex-|F#m|cuse for a |Em| fumble
 
|D| Shocked me too the |Em7-4| things we used to do on |D| grass |Em7-4|
|D| If you fancy |Em7-4| we can buy an ice-cream |D| cone |Em7-4| 
Your |D| mate has gone, she |Em7-4| didn't want to be a-|D|lone |Em7-4|

......|A| I will pounce on |G6/A| you
......Just |A| us and the cuc-|G6/A|koos
......|A| You are helpless |G6/A| now
......|A| Over and |G6| over we |F#m| flatten the |Em| clover
 
|D| Shocked me too the |Em7-4| things we used to do on |D| grass |Em7-4|
It would |D| shock you too the |Em7-4| things we used to do on |D| grass |Em7-4| 

|D| Gra--|Em7-4|--|D|--ass |Em7-4|
On |D| gra--|Em7-4|--|D|--ass |Em7-4|

|Em| Things |Em7| we |Em9-| did |Em7| on |D| grass

DIVINE COMEDY: "PERFECT LOVESONG"

Original en Eb. Una de mis canciones preferidas, cómoda en un top-5 de las más bellas jamás escritas. El video también es altísimamente disfrutable.



|E| Give me your |E/D| love and I'll |C#7| give you
the |F#m| perfect |B7| lovesong
|E| With a di- |E/D| vine Beatles |C#7| bassline
And a |F#m| big old |B7| Beach Boys |E| sound...

......I'll |Amaj7| match you pound for |E| pound ...
......Like |Amaj7| heavy-weights in the |E| final round
......We'll |A| hold on to each |F#| other
......So we |E| don't |B7| fall |E| down |Esus4|

|E| Give me a |E/D| wink and I'll |C#7| give you
what I |F#m| think you're |B7| after
|E| With just one |E/D| kiss I will |C#7| whisk you away
To where |F#m| angels |B7| often |E| tread

......We'll |Amaj7| paint this planet |E| red
......We'll |Amaj7| stumble back to our |E| hotel bed
......And |A| make love to each |F#| other
......'Til we're |E| half |B7| dead

............|Bm| Maybe |F#m| now 
............|C#m7| you can |G#m| see
............|Ebm| Just what |Amaj7| you  
............|C#m| ... mean to |B7| me

Instr.: |E - E/D - C#7 - F#m - B7| x 2 - |E - Amaj7| x 2 - |E - A - F#- E - B7|

............|Ebm| Just what |Amaj7| you  
............|C#m| ... mean to |B7 - C| me 

|F| Give me your |F/Eb| love
And I'll |D7| give you the |Gm| perfect |C7| lovesong
|F| Give me your |F/Eb| word
That you'll |D7| be true to me |Gm| always |C7| come what |F| may

......For- |Bbmaj7| ever and a |F| day
......No |Bbmaj7| matter what other |F| people may say
......We'll |Bb| hold on to each |G| other
......'Til we're |F| old |C7| and |F| grey
......'Til we're |Fsus4| old and |F| grey
......'Til we're |Fsus4| old and |F| grey
