Dot Hacker-The Wit Of The Staircase

Another great song from Dot Hacker.

The song almost doesn't have the guitar in it,
but I transcribed the piano to guitar chords

Intro:

Am E7 x4

Verse:

 Am                     E7
I said my 'goodbyes' didn't I? 

 Am                     E7
Seemed so ideal to the outside 

 Am            E7
Burning and tying on 

 Am                     E7
I should have said it before I.... 

Chorus:

  C
Before I'd gone, 

  E7
Before I'd gone, 

       F         G      Am  Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am Am
That's the wit of the staircase. 

Verse:

 Am                     E7
Shouldn't have left me alone 

 Am               E7
Winchester type paranoid 

 Am                    E7
Atlantic ocean that's your mind 

  Am                    E7
I should have said it before I... 

Chorus:

  C
Before I'd gone, 

  E7
Before I'd gone, 

       F         G      Am  Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am Am
That's the wit of the staircase.

Bridge:

Am                         F
Play it calm in time we will fall in love 

Am                         F
Play it calm in time we will fall in love 

Am                         F
Play it calm in time we will fall in love 

Am              F
Forever forever forever.... 

Then:

      C     E7 F E7
Yeah,yeah

        F                G                Am  Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am
They'll find me, they'll find me when I wash up... 


Then a bit instrumental:

G A x2

            G     
They're out there

                  Am
I've seen them out there 

               Gm
I'm not crazy, I'm not... 

               A
Not crying wolf, I'm.... 

               G
I'm not crazy, I'm not... 

             A
I see them out there

       B
in the real world

       C
out my window 

        E             F#
They're already in my head now

     G#m F# E
behind  my   eyes.

Outro:

Am F x4

Play until the end:

F

The End
