Night and Day The Good Life
I was just trying to figure out this amazing song and I figure I'd contribute my
so others can enjoy.
The strumming is done by picking down on a bass note then strumming up on the bottom
then picking down on the next bass note and then up again on the bottom strings.
For the F - F7 parts I use an open chord and switch between:
1--- 0---| 1--- 1---| -2-- -2--| --3- --3-| ---- ----| ---- ----|
I don't think the other chords matter.
Intro
[F] [F7]
[Bbm]I know a girl with [Dm]cuts on her legs.
[A]I think that she hates the [Bb]way she was made,
[A]but we never spoke of [Bb]why they were there,
[Dm]I just squeezed them and [Bb]kissed them
[F]â??til we both felt [C]a bit better[F].[F7]
[Bbm]And now Iâ??ve returned to th[Dm]e town where she dwells;
[A]that small lonely cabin her [Bb]grandfather built,
[A]I suppose thatâ??s where sheâ[Bb]??s imprisoned herself,
[Dm]to write all those [Bb]words sheâ??s to[F]o scared t[C]o tell â??
[Dm]those sad, [Bb]short stories of a [F]girl curled [C]up in her shell.[F] [F7]
[Dm]Night and [A]day she [F]tends to the [C]bar.
[F]She pours the [F7]drinks, they pour [Bb]out their [F]hearts.
[Dm]All that [A]sorrow and [F]al-co-[C]hol
[F]weighs hard on her [F7]thoughts,
so she [Bbm]writes them downâ?¦.
[Bbm]she loves them all.[F] [F7]
[Bbm]And when weâ??d make love
[Dm]sheâ??d stare in my eyesâ?¦.
[A]I swore we had met a [Bb]thousand times.
[A]Thousands of lives, [Bb]thousands of nightsâ?¦.
Sheâ??[Dm]d writte[Bb]n within [F]a thousan[C]d lines.
(pause)
[Dm]Night and [A]day she [F]tends to her [C]bar.
[F]She pours me a [F7]drink for my [Bb]thirsty [F]heart.
[Dm]All my [A]sorrowâ??s i[F]n al-c[C]o-holâ?¦
[F]she holds up the[F7] cup to my [Bbm]parched lips
for a kiss.[F] [F7]
