Song title: Idaho
Original Album: Fires
Words and Music by Nerina Pallot
Copyright © 2005 Idaho / Echo Records
Published by Idaho Records
Transcribed by Gavin Chart ([email protected])
NOTE:
This is such a beautiful song: melancholy and strangely uplifting at the same
time. Recorded on the piano, here it is transcribed for guitar. If you finger-
pick the chords in the basic figure, it sounds quite good but is hard work at
this tempo. I play barré chords everywhere, but see what you think...
A cool song from one of the great songwriters out there. Enjoy!
INTRO:
[play: Dm Bb C G] [x4]
VERSE:
Dm Bb C G
In the back of a car on a road in the dark,
Dm Bb C G
In the stillicide, silently falling snow,
Dm Bb C G
I have packed everything that I own in a bag,
Dm Bb C G
And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho,
[play: Dm Bb C G] [x2]
Dm Bb C G
A poem for leaving, a reason to go,
Dm Bb C G
So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho.
CHORUS:
F Dm Bb
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
F Dm Bb
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
Gm C Gm C
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
Gm Bb C F
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,
[play: F C F C]
F C F C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
VERSE:
Dm Bb C G
And oh, I've been dumb, I've been perfectly beautiful,
Dm Bb C G
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth,
Dm Bb C G
But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions,
Dm Bb C G
And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself...
BRIDGE:
Dm C Dm C - F - C
I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there
Dm C Dm C - F - C
A universe riddle that only I know?
Dm Bb C G
Mr. Robert says, "It's all in the head!"
Dm Bb C G
Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Ida-ho?
CHORUS:
F Dm Bb
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
F Dm Bb
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
Gm C Gm C
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
Gm Bb C F
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,
[play: F C F C]
F C F C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
[play: Dm Bb C G] [x4]
[repeat CHORUS]
[play: F C F C]
F C F C
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
C F
...in Ida-ho.
