NOTES:
Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...
VERSE:
Notes:
On the D chord, Lianne picks the 3rd/2nd/3rd string fretted at the 7th fret.
On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.
Chords:
[D] [557775]
[Gm7] [353333]
[Am(maj7)] [576555]
Sometimes when you [D]talk, mm-hmm,
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it [Gm7]close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
I [D]wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
But this isn't the [Gm7]silver-screen, oh no,
There's no [Am(maj7)]pause, [Gm7]no re-[Am(maj7)]wind
CHORUS:
[D]Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinma
[D]Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-[Am(maj7)]ah
VERSE:
Now we cut to the [D]girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
And she's truly at [Gm7]home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
Big bright [D]lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
'Though she thinks to look [Gm7]back, back, she won't...
There's no [Am(maj7)]pause, [Gm7]no re-[Am(maj7)]wind, [Gm7]no [Am(maj7)]pause, [Gm7]no re-[Am(maj7)]wind
CHORUS:
[D]Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinma
[D]Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-[Am(maj7)]ah[Gm7][Am(maj7)]
(repeat CHORUS: this time play D on "cinma-ah")
CODA:
Notes:
Finger-pick as for VERSE/CHORUS.
[(D)]...Where the story goes...
...With the curtains [Gm7]closed...
Watching ourselves au cinma.[D]..
[D]Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-ah
(end on Gm7)
