Jackie Deshannon – Needles And Pins chords
Chords:
NEEDLES AND PINS by JACKIE de SHANNON in C This is the best version by the writer of the song in the key that she sings it in – really soulful, with a clever key change. If you find the intro challenging it is easier in the key of D, but it leaves you with a key change to F#! You can play the intro through most of the first and second verse, but definitely half the intro where the -------------- appears. Listen to Jackie’s version and you will soon pick it up. The song actually fades, but I have added a final line Mike Perry Intro: CCsus2CCsus2Csus4CCsus2CCsus2C x2e-0---0---1-0-------0-0---1-0-----0-----0---------------------|B-1-3-1-3-1-1-3s5s3-1-1-3-1-3-1-1-3s5s3-1---------------------|G-0-0-0-0-0-0-------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------0---------------------|D-2-2-2-2-2-2-------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------2---------------------|A-3-3-3-3-3-3-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------3---------------------|E-------------------------------------------------------------|First VerseCI saw him today, I saw his faceAmIt was the face I loved, and I knewCI had to run awayAmAnd get down on my knees and pra-a-ay, that they’d go awayC AmAnd still they begin,------------needles and pinsF GBecause of all my pride, the tears I gotta hideSecond VerseCOh I thought I was smart, I’d won his heartAmI didn't think I'd lose, but now I seeCShe's worse to him than me, let her go aheadAmTake his love instead, and one day he will seeC AmJust how to say please------------and get down on his kneesF GOh that's how it begins, he'll feel those needle and pinsG G G G/F# E A-hurtin' him, a-hurtin' him Bridge, then key changeE DWhy can't I stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrongC BWhy can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strongn.c.
