------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LET IT BLEED, GENEVIEVE - John Phillips ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: psychedelicious Email: [email protected]
This is my favorite John Phillips song... he just pours his heart out. The song talks how Phillips' wife, Genevieve, lay upstairs in their house as he lay, unconscious, on the below, after a drug binge. The whole of the album (John Phillips, Wolf King of L.A.) with Phillips' drug addiction. Truly a lost gem.
The intro, played on an organ, piano, and harmonica, goes something like this: BAEAEBA AG#mAE
E Genevieve lay bleeding in my basement BA Misconceiving life again EG#mC#m Up on the sidewalk, her replacement BA Waiting to be skinned
E Bobby wants a lady from the low lands BA And I'd like to have one too EG#mC#m Paul said, "One in the bush worth two in your hand" BA Even then you'll find there are too few
E Genevieve lay dreaming on my ceiling BA A thought came, rolling stone, across her mind EG#mC#m Looking down with great feeling BA I'll trade you yours for mine
E Just try to sing in choirs, hear the old gears grind BA And upstairs they'll say, "There's too much noise" EG#mC#m I tell the lady we'll be quiet BA She knows boys will be boys
E Gene Gene Gene, what's the matter BA You'll get your way next time around EG#mC#m Subtract the former from the latter BA You're fatter than when you were found
E Genevieve lay bleeding in my basement... BA EG#mC#m BA ^ this repeats and fades out after a little more than one repetition.
