Sing To Me (Boo Hewerdine / Rosalie Deighton / Jo Youle)
This is Boo's version from "Harmonograph" as opposed to Rosalie Deighton's version on
Days". The secret of this song is the common tones between the chords used in the verse.
works better if you don't use the low E string apart from the Gsus4.
Standard tuning, no capo.
Intro -
Am F C Gsus4 x 2
Am F
Here's a song to break your heart
C
Though these are only words
Gsus4
From someone else's dream
Am F
You can hear them in the dark
C
With the sheets over your head
Gsus4
Believing every word they said
F
Only you know what it means
G
Only you know what it means
Chorus:
C Em
Sing to me Sing to me
Am
A million lullabies
F
Of a love that never dies
C
For a moment I'll be free
Em
Sing to me Sing to me
Am
The ghosts of summers gone
F
Before the world went wrong
Am F
Here's a song to break your heart
C
While you are sitting on the stairs
FGsus4
Should be taking out the trash
Am F
And it's really such a drag
C
Transistor radio
Gsus4
And if I let it go
F
Let it fall and let it crash
G
Let it fall and let it crash
Chorus (variant):
C Em
Sing to me Sing to me
Am
The pretty alibis
F
Honey coated lies
C
I wanna be deceived
Em
Sing to me Sing to me
Am
Let them come wave after wave
F
All those Jesus could not save
C
You know what it means
Bridge: Same chords as chorus, using strings 2 & 3 as the bass holding the original
and strings 4 & 5 striking on third and fourth beats in the bar. The common tones stay on
beats, and the solo is made up from the changing chords in the bass (v lovely)
Chorus:
Sing to me Sing to me
A million lullabies
Of a love that never dies
For a moment I'll be free
Sing to me Sing to me
The ghosts of summers gone
Before the world went wrong
Sing to me
Sing to me
