NOTES:
Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...
VERSE:
Notes:
Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure.
An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7.
Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm ,

And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous

Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

Watching ourselves au cin?ma, cin?ma-ah

Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
G5
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
E5
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
G5
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
