Blondie - Here's Looking At You (1980)
Written by Debbie Harry & Chris Stein
Chords by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E
These are the chords for this smooth tune. I play this song by fingering the chords as
staccatoed fourth notes, using all fingers except the pinky. To see the chord positions, look
at the bottom of the tab. Use a jazzy amp setting, and listen to the song to learn!
Intro (you can just strum these as regular chords):
[A]As I sit staring into this liquid amber,[Am] ripples move out to the edge of the glass.
[E]Is that really your reflection in there?
[C#m]I just want to jump into the warm depths an[F#7]d be there with you,one more tim[D]e!
Oh, alright
[G]..........[B].....Hit it boys!
(Now, start using the barred chords shown below the tab)
[E]My initials sprayed across the p[G#]avement
[C#m]Cut into your private intervie[A]w
[E]Talk to me now, s[C#m]tep into my room
[F#]We'll have a word or tw[B]o
[E]If I ever had a million d[G#]ollars
[C#m]If I didn't give it all to y[A]ou
[E]Would you lose interest?
[C#m]Show me indifference?
[A]Foot in an[B]other shoe?[E]
[A]Not very high heels,[Am] not wearing sneakers [E]too[E7]
[A]A magazine ad, [Am]a printed canvas
[F#]A basic [D7]new shade b[G]lue suede sho[B]e
[E]Thought I'd like to have a little [G#]party
[C#m]Thought I'd like to have a little [A]do
[E]Sure I stopped drinking [C#m]but for the moment
[A]Honey, here's l[B]ooking at y[E]ou

[A]I'll stop my drinking,[Am] give you my promise [E]true[E7]
[A]Clean out the closet,[Am] be existential
[F#]And cast a [D7]vote for the [G]president too[B]
[E]But for the action of the m[G#]oment
[C#m]Nothing does what it ought to [A]do
[E]Instant depression, [C#m]I learned my lesson
[A]Nothing that I'd [B]rather do[E]
Come [E]on over my place
