------------------------------------------------

3 funky chords (don't know if names are right at all):

          Emadd9 (?)               D*dim(something)           G* w/o top G (320003@1)name="chord_022100@1">E            2/3                        2                       O
B (x2444x@1)          O                          2                       O
G (320003@1)          O                          2                       O
D (xx0232@1)          2                          O                       O
A (x02220@1)          2                          x                       2
E (022100@1)          x                          2                       3

The Emadd9 chord (Em* below), hammer on E-2 to E-3; listen to the song and
you can pick it up. The bass E-2 on the D*dim chord (D* below) is not
always played either. They screw around with some of the chord changes, but
what's below is the right basic framework.

A (x02220@1)          G (320003@1)           Em*
What was the name she gave herself?
                D*
They called her September.
A (x02220@1)        G (320003@1)             Em*
She wasn't known for much except
                 D*
Her legs and her temper.
E (022100@1)                                       GHe (320003@1)had enough money to get a date back in his place
E (022100@1)                        GShe (320003@1)kept the lights low to avoid his face
A (x02220@1)             G (320003@1)             Em*
He grabbed her arm a little too hard
                  D*
He was rough when she pulled away
A (x02220@1)         G (320003@1)             Em*
She started running for the stairs
                  D*
He thought it was all a game
E (022100@1)                      GShe'd (320003@1)rather die than be abused again
E (022100@1)                            GShe (320003@1)broke his grip high now on adrenaline
A (x02220@1)          G (320003@1)             Em*
She pulled a pistol from her purse,
                       D*
Screamed the party was over.
A (x02220@1)     G (320003@1)                  Em*
Not the brightest man in the world
                   D*
He reached for the revolver
E (022100@1)                                    GShe (320003@1)cocked the handle back and put one into his chest
E (022100@1)                                         GAnd (320003@1)watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest
G*
She thought it best,
E (022100@1)                               GShe (320003@1)turned off all the lights and stereo
E (022100@1)                                           G (320003@1)             G*
She sat in the morning breeze and watched the sun glow on the city below
           A->G->Em*->D*...
She sang, "La-la-la...."
A (x02220@1)          G (320003@1)               Em*
What was the name she gave herself
                D*
They called her September.
