No Myth  Michael Penn



[C]So,[Am]    [C]   [Am]she says it's [F]time she [G]goes
But wanted to be [F]sure I [G]know
She hopes we can be [C]friends [Am]
[C]I th[Am]ink, [C]   [Am]yeah I guess we [F]can say [G]I
But didn't think to [F]ask her [Em]why
She [F]blocked her eyes and [E]drew the curtains
Am Am/G? Cmaj7 ----> Am/G is 3X2210
with knots I've got yet to untie

Chorus:

What if I were [F]Romeo in [Am]black jeans?[C]

What if I was [F]Heathcliff [Am]it's no myth[G]     [Cmaj7]
Maybe she's [F]just looking for
[G]Someone to [Bb]dance with
See, it was just to soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho

(Chorus)
[Bb]Sometime from now you'll b[Dm]ow to pressure

[C]Some things in life you cannot [Am]measure by degrees

[Bb]I'm between the poles and [Dm]the equator
[C]Don't send no private investigator[E7] to find me please
[E]'less he speaks Chinese
Am Am/G?
And can dance like Astaire overseas

[Cmaj7]Okay?

(Bridge - chords are the same as the Chorus.)

(Chorus)

(Chorus)


--------


This is how I hack it out, anyway. (I think this is right... did it mostly
from memory without having my guitar here.) It's probably a little
simplified. One note: Penn plays all of his F's as barre chords in the
first position (113211) to get a richer sound, but it sounds OK if you
don't.

Subject: CRD: Michael Penn's "No Myth"

Someone recently requested this, so here's my version:

"No Myth" by Michael Penn transcribed by MH from the album "March"
---------------------------


Notes:
** I think one of the chords in the chorus is Dm played
at the fifth fret (557765).
*** I think MP says "on hashish" instead of "overseas"

[C]     [Am]      [C]     [Am]      [C]     [Am]      [C]   [Am] 
[C]So,  [Am]      [C]     [Am]she says it's [F]time she [G]goes
but wanted to be [F]sure I [G]know
she hopes we can be [C]friends[Am]       [C]      [Am]
[C]I    [Am]     t[C]hink,[Am] yeah, I guess we[F] can say[G] I
but didn't think to [F]ask her [Em]why
she blocked her eyes and [F]drew the [E/G#]curtains
with [Am]knots I've got [C/G]yet to un[D7/F#]tie...

(CHORUS)
what if I were [F]Romeo in [Am]black jeans[C]
what if I was [F]Heathcliff, it's no [G]myth
D/F# F Dm** Dm C Am C Am
maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with

[C]See, [Am]      [C]     [Am]it was just too [F]soon to [G]tell
and looking for [F]some parallel[G]
can be an endless [C]game  [Am]       [C]      [Am]
[C]We,   [Am]       [C]      [Am]we said goodbye be[F]fore hell[G]o
my secrets she will [F]never [Em]know
and if I dig a [F]hole to [E/G#]China
I'll [Am]catch the first [C/G]junk to [D7/F#]Soho

chorus again

Some[Bb]time from now you'll [Dm]bow to pressure
[G]some things in life you cannot measure [C]by degrees        [Am]
I'm be[Bb]tween the poles and [Dm]the equator
[G]don't send no private investigator to [C]find me please[C/B]
'less he [E]speaks Chinese[E7/D]
and can [Am]dance like A[C/G]staire on h[D7/F#]ashish***

No myth - Michael Penn

[C]So,[Am]    [C/G]     [Am]   she says it's [F]time she [G]goes
[G7]But wanted to be [F]sure I [G]know
She hopes we can be [C]friends[Am]   [C/G]    [Am]
[C]I [Am]thin[C/G]k, yeah, [Am]I guess we [F]can say [G]I
[G7]But didn't think to [F]ask her [Em]why
She blocked her eyes and [F]drew the [E]curtains
With [Am]knots I've got [Am/G]yet to [D7/F#]untie

What if I were [F]Romeo in [Am]black jeans
What if I was [F]Heathcliff it's no [G]myth
Maybe she's just [F]looking for
[Dm]Someone to [Bb]dance with
See, it was just too soon to tell
Looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

Some[Bb]time from now you'll [Dm]bow to pressure
Some [G]things in life you can not measure
[Am]By degrees  [Am/G]      [Am]
I'm be[B]tween the poles and [Dm]the equator
[G]Don't send a private in[F]vestigator
To [C]find me please    [C/B]
'Less he speaks Chi[E]nese     [E/D]
And can [Am]dance like A[Am/G]staire over[D7/F]seas

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
