Charmer

from "Charmer" ( 2012)


Note - this song has a pretty typical series of open-chord style walking-chord 
changes but is played with barred-power chords instead giving it a unique sound.

Use power chords! 

G             E       C
When you?re a charmer 
G           E F C
the apples fall 
    G    F#                          E
and you?re quite the little collector 
D            C
you got ?em all 

G             E       C
When you?re a charmer 
G        E  F  C
people respond    
     G              F#           E
they can?t see the hidden agenda 
D              C - keyboard riff
you got going on 

E                  C          G          F#* (bar 2nd fret E and A strings)
But when you?re weak it?s the Holy Grail 
E                  C          G      F#*
you?re two for one, it?s a fire sale 
E                  C          G      F#*
and that?s a wall that you cannot scale 
E                   C         G      F#*
so you?re forced to burrow under 

G             E       C
When you?re a charmer 
G             E F C
the world applauds 
      G                 F#    E      
they don?t know that secretly charmers 
D                 C
feel like they?re frauds 

G             E      C
When you?re a charmer 
G          E F C
you hate yourself 
  G          F#               E
a victim of sideshow hypnosis 
     D        C
like everyone else 

E             C              G          F#*
and then your thinking goes black and white
E              C            G   F#* 
and you?re all hunger and appetite 
E         C          G      F#*
this is a battle you cannot fight 
E       C    G         F#*
no, you only can surrender
E       C    G         F#*
no, you only can surrender
