Goodnight Babybird
-Thought it was an utter shame that I couldn't find any chords (or tabs!) for this song;
it's totally beautiful and one of the best songs on Ugly Beautiful :/
So this is my acoustic interpretation of the chord-ing... if that's a word...
[G] I hold you[C] closely,
[D] You push me aw[C]ay.
[G] I want for[C]ever,
You just w[D]ant tod[C]ay.
[G] Give me your f[C]ingers,
[D] Wash out your[C] mouth.
[G] Bite off my [C]tongue
On this bl[D]oody couc[C]h.
[G] But I don't b[C]lame you.
[D] You're always [C]right.
[G] I'm like a b[C]ad day
On your g[D]ood, good nig[C]ht.
(Here's the instrumental. If acoustic-ing it up on guitar, it's pretty much the same as
it's always been. I suggest singing the last four lines again in your head whilst
playing the G C D C G C D C )
[G] I hear the tick of a [C]bomb-ah,
[D] All you hair in a f[C]use.
[G] You asked me f[C]or a light
To b[D]low away these b[C]lues.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/babybird/goodnight_acoustic_crd.html )
[G] Run me a [C]bath,
[D] Then plug me [C]in.
[G] I'm like a [C]T.V.
[D] Learning to s[C]wim.
[G] But I don't b[C]lame you.
[D] You're always [C]right.
[G] I'm like a b[C]ad day
On your g[D]ood, good nig[C]ht.
(Another instrumental, with a few 'Mm-mh's over the top. This one goes G C G C G C G C D
[C] [)]
(This bit is spoken)
I hold you closely.
You push me away.
I want forever,
You just want today.
[G] Give me your f[C]ingers,
[D] Wash out your[C] mouth.
[G] Bite off my [C]tongue
On this bl[D]oody couc[C]h.
[G] But I don't b[C]lame you.
[D] You're always [C]right.
[G] I'm like a b[C]ad day
On your g[D]ood, good nig[C]ht.
[G] But I don't b[C]lame you.
[D] You're always [C]right.
[G] I'm like a b[C]ad day
On your g[D]ood, good, go[C]od, good n[G]ight.
