------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shades Of Cool - Lana Del Rey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tom Askin E-mail: thomasaskin@aol.com Tuning: standard Key: Dm Here's the music for Lana Del Rey's new tune Shades Of Cool. NOTE! There seems to be two different versions of this song going around, one pitched up a semi-tone. hit the transpose button depending on what version you have. Loving the James Bond-esque chromaticism in during the verse, the close harmony and big reverb give the tune that mysterious edge! Note for any of you people who write your own songs, a little lesson for you!: | G Gm Arp | |And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you| Going to chord IV in any key, playing the major so in Dm we go to 'G' then make the same chord minor 'Gm' is a tried and tested technique used in thousands of songs...It's super effective.
