Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983 in Southgate, London, died 23 July 2011 in Camden, London) was an English singer and composer, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz, rock 'n' roll and Rhythm and Blues.
Her musical formation went through listening to such jazz legends as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan; she was later influenced by contemporary metropolitan popular music as well. She represented a union of these aesthetics: a happy fusion of '40s jazz
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!
There wasn't a tab for the original version of this song that was released on Lioness: Hidden Treasures so here it is! You can also transpose it and play with a capo on the fourth fret to make it a bit easier.
The pattern for the whole song goes something like this:
Emaj7 All I can ever be to you, G#m7 Is the darkness we once knew, C#7F#m7 And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to Emaj7 Once it felt so right G#m7 Anticipation at its height, C#7F#m7 Lived in and waiting in hotel room late at night
Emaj7 I knew I hadn't met my match, G#m7 With every moment we could snatch, C#7F#m7 I don't know why I let myself get so attached, Emaj7 It's my responsibility, G#m7 And you don't owe nothing to me, C#7F#m7 But to cut myself off I had no capacity
[Chorus] A He walks away, Am The sun goes down, G#m7C#susC#7 He takes the day but I'm grown, F#m9A/E And in your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
Emaj7 I don't understand, G#m7 Why do I stress a man, C#7F#m7 When there's so many better things than him at hand, Emaj7 We could have never had it all, G#m7 We had to hit a wall, C#7F#m7 And this is inevitable withdrawal, Emaj7 Even if I stop wanting you, G#m7 A perspective pushes through, C#7F#m7 I'll be some next man's other woman soon, Emaj7 I cannot play myself again, G#m7 I should just be my own best friend, C#7F#m7 Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,
[Chorus] A He walks away, Am The sun goes down, G#m7C#susC#7 He takes the day but I'm grown, F#m9A/E And in your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
Emaj7 Wish I could say no regrets G#m7 And no emotional debt C#7F#m7 And as we kiss goodbye the sun behind you sets Emaj7 So we are history G#m7 Your shadow covers me, C#7F#m7 The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see
[Chorus] A He walks away, Am The sun goes down, G#m7C#susC#7 He takes the day but I'm grown, F#m9A/E And in your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
A He walks away, Am The sun goes down, G#m7C#susC#7 He takes the day but I'm grown, F#m9A/E Baby in your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
F#m9A/E Yeah, leave your grey to shade EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own
F#m9A/E In your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
F#m9A/E In your grey, in this cool shade, EEmaj7 My tears dry on their own,
