McKenzie attended Stoke Newington School and became interested in a musical career during his school years. He comes from a music family consisting of nine siblings. His brother, Mac.1, is a producer, and he introduced McKenzie to the art of creating music in his studio, at the age of 15. Labrinth started his big time career by producing for Master Shortie in his debut album A.D.H.D.. This gained a buzz within the industry and he was then signed to a publishing deal by Guy Moot at EMI Music Publishing.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Taken from Labrinth's Acoustic performances of this song he plays exactly these chords and changes the lyrics slightly: for the bridge and the second part of the chorus the D he plays after the Bm he plays as a bar chord. but it doesn't make much of a difference.
EADGBE D (xx0232) (x57775) Em7 (020033) G (300033) (355433) A (x02220) (577655) Bm (x24432) (799777) Em (x79987)
[Verse 1] DEm7GADEm7GA You tell all the boys no, Makes you feel good yeah DEm7GADEm7GA I know you're out of my league, But that won't scare me away oh no
[Bridge] BmDGA You've carried on so long You couldn't stop if you tried it BmDG You've built your wall so high That no one could climb it A But i'm gonna try
[Chorus] DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your perfect BmD Take it off now girl, take it off now girl GA I wanna see inside DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
[Verse 2] repeat chords: DEm7GA: x4
You've broken all the boys hearts, Makes you feel good don't it Your dress your fancy clothes, they all just make-up to hide your scars,
[Bridge] BmDGA: x2
You've carried on so long, You couldn't stop if you tried it You've built your wall so high, That no one could climb it But I'm gonna try
[Chorus] DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your perfect BmD Take it off now girl, take it off now girl GA I wanna see inside DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
this part sounds a lot better played with bar chords, and that's how labrinth plays it:
ADEmDA I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower ADEmDA I'll hold your hand and then We'll jump right out GBm We'll be falling, falling EmBm But that's okay G Cause I'll be right here A I just wanna knowww ohh wohhh.
[Chorus] DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your perfect BmD Take it off now girl, take it off now girl GA I wanna see inside DEm7GA Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
[Fade]
