Although the song consists mainly of keyboards, drums and bass guitar, it sounds very well on just an acoustic guitar. These are the chords (and two little riffs) I use: C: x-3-2-0-1-0----------------------------------------------------| Cmaj7: x-3-2-0-0-0------------------------------------------------| Am7: x-0-2-0-1-0 (sometimes during the verse I play: x-0-2-0-1-3)-| Am7/G: 3-0-2-0-1-0------------------------------------------------| F: 1-3-3-2-1-1----------------------------------------------------| Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1---------------------------------------------------| G7: 3-2-0-0-0-1---------------------------------------------------| Am: x-0-2-2-1-0---------------------------------------------------| E: 0-2-2-1-0-0----------------------------------------------------| Am2: x-0-2-2-0-0--------------------------------------------------| X: 0-3-3-2-0-0----------------------------------------------------| (I don't know the name of this chord) riff 1: e-|-----0-| b-|-1-3---| g-|-------| d-|-------| a-|-------| e-|-------| riff 2: e-|---0-4-5-| b-|-1-------| g-|---------| d-|---------| a-|---------| e-|---------| Lyrics and chords: The old covent garden I remember only too well [intro] 4x C (alter with Cmaj7) C (x32010@1) Am7The (x02010@1)girl's a fool Am7/GShe (302020@1)broke the rule FShe (133211@1)hurt him hard Dm (xx0231@1) G7 (320001@1) C(alter (x32010@1)with Cmaj7) This time he will break down C (x32010@1) Am7She's (x02010@1)lost his trust Am7/GAnd (302020@1)so she must FAll (133211@1)is lost Dm (xx0231@1)G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) AmThe (x02210@1)system has broke down DmE AmRomance (x02210@1)has broke down (riff 1) F (133211@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) Am7This (x02010@1)boy is crackin' up Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)boy has broke down C (x32010@1) Am7She (x02010@1)plays it hard Am7/G (302020@1) FShe (133211@1)plays it tough Dm (xx0231@1) G7But (320001@1)that's enough C(alter (x32010@1)with Cmaj7) For love is over C (x32010@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Am7/G (302020@1) FShe's (133211@1)broke his heart and that is rough Dm (xx0231@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1)AmBut (x02210@1)in the end you'll soon recover Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) AmThe (x02210@1)romance is over (riff 1) F (133211@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) Am7This (x02010@1)boy is crackin' up Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)boy has broke down (riff 1) F (133211@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) Am7This (x02010@1)boy is crackin' up Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)boy has broke down [Instrumental break with piano-solo] C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C-C-Am7--|Am7/G-F-Dm-E-Am-F-Dm-E-Am-(riff 1) F-G7-C-Am7-------------------|Dm-E-Am-(riff 2) [tempo slows down a bit] C (x32010@1) Am7I've (x02010@1)been spending my money Am7/G (302020@1) FIn (133211@1)the old town Dm (xx0231@1) G7It's (320001@1)not the same honey CWhen (x32010@1)you're not around C (x32010@1) Am7I've (x02010@1)been spending my time Am7/G (302020@1) FIn (133211@1)the old town Dm (xx0231@1) G7I (320001@1)sure miss you honey C (x32010@1) FNow (133211@1)you're not around X ENow (022100@1)you're not around Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)old town [tempo back to normal] C (alter with Cmaj7) ola 3 x C (alter with Cmaj7) [Instrumental break with trumpet-solo] C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C ola C-Am7-Am7/G-F-Dm-G7-C-C-E-Am (riff 1) F (133211@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) Am7This (x02010@1)boy is crackin' up Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)boy has broke down (riff 1) F (133211@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) Am7This (x02010@1)boy is crackin' up Dm (xx0231@1) E (022100@1) Am2 AmThis (x02210@1)boy has broke down [Repeat until fade out]
