• Song:

    Cherokee

  • Artist:

    Cat Power

This is my attempt at this beautiful opener from Cat Power's forthcoming album "Sun".

Little riff repeated at the beginning and the end of the song:

B --3-3-3-3-7-7-----5-5--
G --------------4-4------

Whole song: 

D --2--0--5--4-- (8 times each note) --> (this is what Chan plays in the live version)

or you can play chords instead:

E5 - D5 - G5 - F#5


E5                  D5
Never knew love like this
G5                  F#5
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky (sky so high)
E5                  D5
Never knew pain like this
G5            F#5
Everything die, (then die)
E5                  D5
Never knew love like this
G5                F#5
The sun, the sea and I
E5                  D5           G5
Never knew pain, never knew shame
   F#5          
Now I know why

E5                  D5
Bury me, marry me to the sky
G5                  F#5
Marry, marry me to the sky
E5                  D5
Feels like time is on my time
G5             F#5       
Bury me upside down
E5               D5
Cherokee, kissing me
G5               F#5
When I?m , I?m going down
E5               D5
Feels like time is on my time
G5            F#5
Bury me upside down
E5            D5 
Cherokee, kissing me
G5             F#5       
When I?m , I?m going down


Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky (sky so high)
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, (then die)
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I?m , I?m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I?m , I?m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I?m , I?m going down.
