Funny How Love Is Fine Young Cannibals Tuning: EADGBE A beautiful song, played to a bossa nova rhythm on the recording. Sounds lovely in its' incarnation, even with the reverb drenched 80's production, and stays just as strong on solo acoustic guitar. Bliss! The timing is a cinch, one bar per chord change Introduction Em - Em/Eb - D - A/C# - C - B7 - Am - B7 Verse 1 (the verse chord sequence is the same as the intro) Em Em/Eb D A/C# I'm going to places we used to go C B7 Am B7 I still see people we used to know Em Em/Eb D A/C# Friends they ask me where is she now C B7 Am B7 I have to tell them we're over now Refrain G A/C# C Am When at first you left I thought I'd surely die G A/C# C B7 I couldn't see a future without you by my side G A/C# C Am We're not together but I'm still alive G A/C# C B7 I'd rather not see you for a very long time Em Em/Eb D A/C# C B7 Am B7 Funny how love is, Funny how love is. Funny how love is Sax break over verse sequence, play once Em - Em/Eb - D - A/C# - C - B7 - Am - B7 Verse 2 Em Em/Eb D A/C# I don't want your magazines I don't want your clothes C B7 Am B7 Take them from my house let me be alone Em Em/Eb D A/C# You ever try to catch me in or call me on the phone C B7 Am B7 Don't send me letters I don't want to know Refrain 2 G A/C# C Am When at first you left I thought I'd surely die G A/C# C B7 I couldn't see a future without you by my side G A/C# C Am We're not together but I'm still alive G A/C# C B7 I'd rather not see you for a very long time Outro - verse chord sequence Em Em/Eb D A/C# C B7 Am B7 Funny how love is, Funny how love is. Funny how love is Em Em/Eb D A/C# C B7 Am B7 Love is so funny, you sure put the joke on me Funny how love is Em - Em/Eb - D - A/C# - C - B7 - Am - B7 Em ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't get much better than this song. I hope I've done it justice! Kevin O'Brien Watford England December 2007 watfordkev@gmail.com
