After You've Gone - Fiona Apple (Henry Creamer & Turner Layton) tab by metonymo based on Fiona Apple's live version (which has much in common with Bessie Smith's version) Posted some variations for the chords. Apple's guitarist vary between barre and open chords. Most of the embellishments are easy, and chords like D9 can be replaced by D7 etc. C x32010/x35553/8.10.10.9.8.8 C/g 332010 C7 X32310/X35353 F#7 242322 D7 xx0212/x57775 D7/f# 2x0212 D9 x5455x/x54555 (or D7 xx0212) G7 320001/353433 G13 xx3455/3x3455 E7 022130/020100/x79797 A7 x02020/575655 F 133211 Fm 133111/x.8.10.10.9.8 Dm xx0231/x57765 Cdim xx4545/xx1212/8.9.10.18.10.8 (Stars * and letters (a), (b), (c), etc. point to embellishments in the tab) Intro C .G7 F#7 G7 C(/g) .D9 G7 * (a) Now listen honey while I say C .D7 G7 * (b) How could you tell me that you're going away E7 .Am E7 Am * (c) Don't say that we must part D7 .G7 D7 G7 * (d) Don't break my aching heart C .D7 G7 * (d) You know I've loved you true for many years C(7) .F * (e) Loved you night and day F Fm .C How could you leave me, can't you see my tears D7 G7 .C (C7) * (f) Now listen while I say F .Fm After you've gone, and left me cryin' C * .A7 (g) After you've gone, there's no denyin' D9 .G7 * (d) You feel blue, you feel sad C/g * - - - - . - - - - C7 (h) You miss the bestest pal you ever had F .Fm There'll come a time, now don't forget it C * .A7 (g) There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Dm A7 .Dm Fm Someday when you grow lonely C E7 .Am Cdim Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only C * .G7 .C C7 (i) After you've gone, after you've gone away After you've gone, after the break up After you've gone, you are gonna wake up And you will find that you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind After the years that we've been together The joy and all the tears, in all types of weather Someday when you're down-hearted You'll long to be with me right back where we started After you've gone, after you've gone away ...(instr.) ...
