Pretty song...
INTRO (Play this chord progression once): F5 - A5 - D5 - Bb5
VERSE I: (I'm not entirely sure about the E7, but it sounds acceptable enough while
the song...any corrections are definitely welcome.)
D5 E5
On a free ride home from the embassy
A5 E5 A5 D5
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
D5 E5
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
A5 E5 A5 D5
And opened the windows wide
CHORUS: (No chord until "save")
F5 A5
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
D5 Bb5
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
F5 A5
The time I've spent, working myself to death
D5 Bb5
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
F5 A5
To make it good again, to makes us strong
Bb5 F5
To make you happy, to push you along
A5
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
Bb5 F5
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
VERSE II:
D5
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
E5
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
A5 E5 A5 D5
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
D5
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
E5
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
A5 E5 A5 D5
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...
CHORUS:
F5 A5
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
D5 Bb5
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
F5 A5
The time I've spent, working myself to death
D5 Bb5
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
F5 A5
To make it good again, to makes us strong
Bb5 F5
To make you happy, to push you along
A5
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
Bb5 F5
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
~Outgoing chord progression (during keyboard solo):
F5 - A5 - Bb( Bb5 is held for awhile, listen to the song) - F5
~or~
F-A7-Bb (again, held awhile), then play this descending progression, strumming each
once: Bb, Am , Gm , F (Although I think this sounds a bit corny...up to you.)
