This is a great song from Joel, off his equally great album "LaDeDa". I wasn't a fan of
song before I saw t3h man play it live.
Here are the basic chords:
Em: 022xxx
Cm: x466xx
Ab: 466xxx
A : 577xxx
Bm: x244xx (for some of the chords, it's easier to play at 799xxx)
G : 230033
C : x3201x
D : xxx323
The first half of the song, the "Nina" part is played with just the power chords. If you
to get it to sound like it does on the CD, just use the first two strings of the power
and hammer on the third string with the rythym of the song. For the "Albert" half, just
the chords and it sounds great.
N[Em]ina...Nina...no[Cm]body knows where you'v[Ab]e been
I looked [A]everywhere
From the Arctic to the[Bm] Argentin[A]es[Em]
N[Em]ina...Nina...da[Cm]rlin' come darken my[Ab] door
We've had tough[A]er times, but what we wanna [Bm]go there fo[A]r?[Em]
E[Cm]very waking hour, lookin for a fr[Em]iend
T[Cm]ryin to get it started before we reach the e[Bm]nd
N[Em]ina...Nina...al[Cm]l I asked for was goodbye
N[A]ow I'm driving 'cross the desert
Watching [Bm]lightning ski[A]p across the sky[Em]
(in between the "Nina" and "Albert" halves) Em Cm A G
Al[G]bert, let's not fight[C-G]
I'[G]ve been driving 'cross West Texas all the ni[D]ght
Wh[C]en a storm came down upon[Bm] me, why you're an[C]gry is beyond me
Is there something I can do, to make it ri[D]ght?
A[G]lbert, you're my man[C-G]
N[G]obody can love me like you c[D]an
C[C]omin 'round behind [Bm]me, lover don[C]'t you try to find me
I'll look you up when I think youll und[D]erstand
A[G]lbert, Ronald Reagan died today[C-G]
I [G]pulled over the side of the highway and cried to[D]day
B[C]lack clouds hang ab[Bm]ove us, [C]does anybody love us?
