Acoustic Version of the Great Song (Burberry Blue Eyes) by Razorlight
Listen to the song for the rhythm, any corrections please let me know
Intro: F G A
V1
A G EM A
She was swinging from her handbag on the King's Road,
G EM A
Fresh from boarding school and double-barreled shame.
G EM A
Now there are worms in her skin, she's razor thin, her eyes are pinned,
D G
I get the 'daddy never noticed' story again.
G A D
And she takes me to a warehouse in the city,
G EM A
Her gaze as vacant as a byline in the news,
G EM A
And I reach in disbelief then resign myself,
D G FM#7
She's slumming it in someone else's shoes.
C1
EM A
Oh! Burberry blue eyes
D G
This town is not so small,
EM
If you take everyone to bed
A
And leave the lights all on,
D G FM#7
Somebody is going to see it all.
EM A
The details of your latest maneuvers,
D G
The tears you've been spreading around,
EM
And your story's so predictable
A D
You spent too long just hanging around.
V2 D (slowly strum)
G EM A
She was brought up from a distance by the usual,
G EM A
Rattlers and tattlers from the best guarded schools,
G EM A
Auditioning to be ana obituary in the Daily Mail,
D G FM#7
The yawning scandal of the daughter of the duchess breaking rules.
C2
EM A
Oh!Burberry blue eyes
D G
This town is not so small,
EM
If you bang him in the car
A
And leave the doors wide open
D G
Somebody will see it all.
EM
And you're becoming so predictable
A
You spent too long
D
Just hanging around.
V3 D (slowly strum)
G EM A
I get plugged in at another phony party,
G EM A
Convinced that now there's really nothing left to lose.
G EM A
'Til I turn around and watch her disappearing,
D G
He's got his hand in her pocket; she's got her eye on his shoes.
G A D
And I know I've been converted to old currency,
G EM A
Somebody new will guarantee her bootleg soul,
G EM A
Be her proof of purchase counter culture trophy,
D G FM#7
Help her die a little more, deeper in her hole.
C3
EM A
Oh! Burberry blue eyes
D G
I guess we're just not meant to be,
EM
If you blow him in the club
A
And leave your eyes wide open,
D G FM#7
Somebody is going to see.
EM A
The sordid details of your midnight operations,
D G
All the tears you've been swallowing down,
EM
And your story's so predictable
A
The end so unavoidable
EM
I've never seen you earn your thrills
A
You've spent too long
D
Just hanging around.
Thats just about it, all comments/ criticism welcome.
This is my 2nd Tab so please let me know what you think
Craig, C
