Joel Plaskett ? Through & Through & Through
Album: Three (2009), standard tuning
Intro C# B A [C#]Through & [B]Through & [A]Through
Verse 1
[E] I?m the Berlin [B]Wall, I?m a [E] communist
You?re a wrecking [A]ball in a summer dress [E]
[E]You?re the horizon [B]line, I?m the last sunset [E]
[E] I might be going down but [A]I?m not set yet
[E]I?m as white as a [B]ghost, digging foolish [E] gold
I will man my [A]post but I won?t do as I?m [E] told
[E]I?ve got a purple [B]heart from a bloody [E] war
I can?t take it [A]anymore, more, more
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Verse 2 E B E A
Outta sight, outta mind, outta luck, outta wine
Don?t you say that I?m out of my fucking mind
I?ve been talking trash but it ain?t my fault
Every time I move somebody?s in my spot
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Chorus
You?ve [C#]got no[B]where to [A]go
I [C#]know, I [B]know, I [A]know
It?s [C#]only [B]you and [A]me
But [C#]good things [B]come in [A]three
Verse 3 E B E A
You be April Stevens, I?ll be April Wine
You be Israel, I will be Palestine
Come on ?Teach Me Tiger?, come on and show me tricks
Let me take my time and take a couple lazy licks
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
Chorus C# B A
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Verse 4 E B E A
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
You won?t hear our songs on your radio
Every note we sing can?t be solid gold
Every boy can?t be Romeo
[B]They say that good things come to those who wait
But if you snooze then you lose
So don?t hesitate
[B]They say that good things come
To those who wait
Good things come
If you take the bait
In a rummage sale
At the Sally Ann!
Everything is cheap
Love should last a life
Or at least a year!
But it lasts a week
I?m the Berlin Wall
And that ain?t all!
I?m a total mess
You?re a wrecking ball
I?m a wrecking ball!
In a summer dress
Chorus C# B A
Are you feeling blue?
Through & through & through
Where we find you now?
Around, around, around
Outro E B E A
All the dirty blondes, playing blue-eyed soul
. . . songs on your radio
. . .
I can?t take it [A]anymore, more, more
Notes: at the end of each verse when playing B (?they say that good things come?), play
B blues shuffle.
