I've Returned Squeeze
Squeeze's songs are so catchy and immediate
yet they often feature unusual structures.
This is a case in point.
Wonderful - from the magnificent Sweets From A Stranger album
Standard tuning
Intro
=====
I've re-turned
[B] I've re-[Abm]turned[Gb] [Esus2] [E]
[B] I've re-[Abm]turned[Gb] [Esus2] [E] [Esus2] [E]
Verse 1
=======
[B] Last night I played the [Abm]drunken fiddle
[Gb] Dis-abled love with a [E]word of dribble
[B] On and on about some [Abm] jumbled subject
[Gb] I said your friends were a [E]bunch of Muppets
[G] I said your sister should have [Em]grown a moustache
Sa-[B]aid you didn't [B/Bb]need to [A]take off [Abm]your mask
[G] Down the staircase I [Em]made my stagger
[B]I left you [B/Bb]crying but it [A]didn't matter[Abm]
Verse 2
=======
[B] So I sat inside my [Abm]car in wonder
[Gb] A headache in my head [E]like the thunder
[B] I chewed my nails like a [Abm]guilty victim
[Gb] I couldn't see or feel the [E]night or nothing
[G] I wanted to explain but [Em]all so desperate
Lo-[B]ove was like it [B/Bb]was [A]some in-[Abm]vestment
[G] Then I don't remember [Em]who said what when
[B]On a scrap of [B/Bb]paper I [A]placed my [Abm]pen
Refrain
=======
staccato Abm x 6, Gb
[Gb] When I woke up in the morning[F]
[Gb] Beside you in the bed[G]
[Gb] My mouth was full of nothing[F]
[Gb] My arm around your [Gb]hea[G]d[Ab] [B] [C] [Db]
[D] And I don't [/Db]know how I [/B]got there[A]
I [E]didn't want to [Gb]check[A]
[D] Now back [/Db]between each [/B]other[A]
We're [E]salvaging our [Gb]wreck
Now I've returned
Verse 3
=======
[B] You've thrown my jigsaw all [Abm]over the floor
[Gb] We're at the deepest [E]deep
[B] I thought our love had [Abm]died forever
[Gb] But it just went to [Esus2]sleep[E]
Out
