You and the Mona Lisa Shawn Colvin
Song: You and the Mona Lisa
by: Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal
CD: A Few Small Repairs
From: Andrew Lyon
The song starts in the key of G, and modulates up a minor third to the key
of Bb for the chorus.
I have transcribed this for three guitars;
1) The open tuning of C7/9 as follows;
[E] [B] [D] [G] [C] [E]
Em - xx2020 Bb - xxx321
Dsus2/sus4 - xxx020 Eb - xxx876
C - xx2000 Gm7 - xx3323
Bm - xx0422 F - xxx555
2) An altered tuning where the 6th string is tuned up to G;
[G] [A] [D] [G] [B] [E]
Em - 079xxx Bb6 - 013xxx
Dsus4 - 057xxx Eb - 068xxx
C - 035xxx Gm7 (no 3rd)- 053xxx
Bm7 (no 3rd)- 224xxx F - 233xxx
3) Standard tuning.
Dsus2 - xx0230
Bm7 - x24232
[Gm7] [-] [353333]
Intro:
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em]Hold me down to [Dsus2]anything
[C]Anything that you [Bm7]see
[Em]I should walk aw[Dsus2]ay right [C]now[Bm7]
[Em]I'll be there, so [Dsus2]never mind
[C]I'll be the one to [Bm7]fall
[Em]Waiting for [Dsus2]you to look up at [C]me[Bm7]
[Bb]Oh I love you the most
Always [Eb]giving up the ghost
In your [Gm7]own private convers[F]ation
You're a [Bb]sweet mystery
There is [Eb]nothing in between
[Gm7]You and the Mona [F]Lisa
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em]Nothing in par[Dsus2]ticular
[C]And everything in bet[Bm7]ween
[Em]This is what you [Dsus2]mean to [C]me[Bm7]
[Em]Only you and [Dsus2]only me
[C]Climbing in the right di[Bm7]rection
[Em]On the way to [Dsus2]everyt[C]hing[Bm7]
We were [Bb]walking up high
And [Eb]no one thought to try
But [Gm7]I was the one to [F]blame
It was [Bb]just a mirage
So I [Eb]hid in the garage
Until some[Gm7]body called your [F]name
Solo
[Bb]Oh I love you the most
Always [Eb]giving up the ghost
In your [Gm7]own private convers[F]ation
You're a [Bb]sweet mystery
There is [Eb]nothing in between
[Gm7]You and the Mona [F]Lisa
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em] [Dsus2] [C] [Bm7]
[Em]Nothing in p[Dsus2]articular
Just [C]you and the Mona [Bm7]Lisa....
