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!
This is G pretty easy yet great song by Rilo Kiley. Standard tuning and nothing fancy. Enjoy!
Capo 2 (no capo works, but makes the melody impossible to play)
For the intro, and when a similar thing happens later,
the first C chord is 4 bars and everything else is 2 bars.
intro:
C F C G C x2
verse:
C
I had one friend in high school recently he hung himself with string
F C
His note said "If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling."
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex first love
F C
And I barely recognized her, but I knew exactly what she was thinking of
G F C
We sat quietly in the corner whispering close about loss
G F C
And I remembered why I loved her, and I asked her why I drove her off
chorus:
She said
F G C
The slow fade of love
F G C
Its soft edge might Cut you
F Em
And our poor friend, Jim
C G/B F
Well he just lived within
G C
The slow fade of love
verse:
C
A woman calls my house once a week; she's always selling things
F C
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine
G F C
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was something trembling in her voice
G F C
I said "Hey, what troubles you?", She said "I'm surprised you noticed"
verse:
C
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I can't convince him to stay
F C
and he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway
G F C
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me
G F C
I'm selling people things they don't want when I don't know what you need
chorus:
F G C
He said the slow fade of love
F G C
and it's mist might choke you
F Em
It's my gradual descent
C G/B F
Into a life I never meant
G C
It's the slow fade of love
break:
C F C G F C (similar to intro)
verse:
C
I was driving south of Melrose; I happened upon my old lover's old house
F C
I found myself staring at the closed up door like the day she threw me out
"Dianna, Dianna, Dianna I would die for you
F C
I'm in love with you completely, I'm afraid that's all I can do"
G F C
She said "You can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, Jim
G F C
But my mind is made up, and I'll never let you in again"
Chorus:
F G C
For the slow fade of love
F G C
It might hit you from below
F Em
It's your gradual descent
C G/B F
Into a life you never meant
G C
It's the slow fade of love
outro:
F G C
It's the slow fade of love x9 (I think it is about 9 time that you slow fade out)
