A very minor-key sad blues ballad!! From the 2011 album You Can?t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks. Although it opens on Dm, it closes on the chord of Dm/C, so it just hangs there unresolved, adding to the melancholy. Notes ===== Verse ===== on the Dm / Dm C sections. Roll on and off the open top E string to F on the first fret. Like so.... E ---1--p0-h1----1--p0-h1--| B ---3---3-------3---3-----| G ---2---2-------2---2-----| D -0-----------------------| A --------------3----------| E -------------------------| Refrain ======= Little chromatic run on the E string, A to Ab to G, then G to G# to the Am chord (all marked down below) OK here we go! Intro ===== Dm Dm/C x4 Verse 1 ======= Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C When I walk down your street Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C Through your barred windows you look at me Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C And you wonder have I come to ask Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C For one of your precious things that do not last Refrain 1 ========= /F /F# G All your treasures /G# Am /C All your treasures Dm Dm/C x 2 Verse 2 ======= Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C You think you know me but you don't know Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C That there's more to this picture than that shows Dm Dm/C Dm C And you fear that I come to steal Dm Dm/C Dm C Your sec-urity that ain't real Refrain 2 ========= /F /F# G All your treasures /G# Am /C All your treasures Break ===== Dm Dm/C x 6 G /G# Am /C Dm Dm/C x 2 Verse 3 ======= Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C I will leave now you won't cry Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C With relief now you'll just sigh Dm Dm/C Dm Dm/C You'll re-member come one day Dm Dm/C And you'll walk out your door Dm Dm/C Cos you can't stay Refrain 3 ========= /F /F# G While all your treasures /G# Am /C All your treasures slip away Refrain 4 ========= /F /F# G All your treasures /G# Am /C All your treasures ----------------------------------------- I hope I've done it justice!
