Tom Waits – Dead Lovely chords
Chords:
This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called minor. There are a few things to remember for playing this song. First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g. Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like thise-0--0--0----------------------|b-1--1--1----------------------|g-0--0--2----------------------|d-0--0--2----------------------|a-3--2--0----------------------|e------------------------------|Amin Cadd9 (walkdown) AminAminShe was a middle class girlShe was in over her headDminShe thought she wouldAminStand up in the deep endHe had a bullet proof smile He had money to burnDminShe thought she had the moonAminIn her pocketFmajBut now she's deadAmin FmajShe's so deadCadd9(walkdown) AminForever dead and lovely nowDmin Bmaj DminI've always been told toBmajRemember this...Amin Fmaj B7sus4Don't let a fool kiss youEmajNever marry for loveAminHe was hard to impressDminHe knew everyone's secretsAminHe wore her on his armJust like jewelry He never gave but he gotDminHe kept her on a leashHe's not the kind of wheelAminYou fall asleep atFmajBut now she's deadAmin FmajForever deadAmin Cadd9(Walkdown) AminForever dead and lovely nowDmin Bmaj DminCome closer, look deeperBmajYou've fallen fastAmin FmajJust like a plane on aB7sus4 EmajStormy seaAminShe made up someone to beDminShe made up somewhere to be fromThis is one business in theAminWorld where that's noProblem at all Everything that is leftDminThey will only plow underSoon every one you knowAminWill be goneFmajAnd now she's deadAminForever deadCadd9(walkdown)Forever dead and lovely nowAmin Dmin Amin DminFmajNow she's deadAminForever deadCadd9(walkdown)AminForever dead and lovely nowDmin Bmaj DminI've always been told toBmajRemember this...Dmin Fmaj B7sus4Don't let a kiss fool youEmajNever marry for loveAminEverything has its priceDminEverything has its placeWhat's more romanticAminThen dying in the moonlight?Now they're all watching the seaDminWhat's lost can never be brokenHer roots were sweetAminBut they were so shallowFmajAnd now she's deadAminForever deadCadd9(walkdown) AminForever dead and lovely nowFmajAnd now she's deadAminForever deadCadd9(Walkdown) AminAnd she's so dead and lovely now*B7sus4 e----------| b----------| g---2------| d---2------| a---2------| e---2------|
