Sing To Me


Sing To Me (Boo Hewerdine / Rosalie Deighton / Jo Youle) This is Boo's version from "Harmonograph" as opposed to Rosalie Deighton's version on Days". The secret of this song is the common tones between the chords used in the verse. works better if you don't use the low E string apart from the Gsus4. Standard tuning, no capo. Intro - Am F C Gsus4 x 2 Am F Here's a song to break your heart C Though these are only words Gsus4 From someone else's dream Am F You can hear them in the dark C With the sheets over your head Gsus4 Believing every word they said F Only you know what it means G Only you know what it means Chorus: C Em Sing to me Sing to me Am A million lullabies F Of a love that never dies C For a moment I'll be free Em Sing to me Sing to me Am The ghosts of summers gone F Before the world went wrong Am F Here's a song to break your heart C While you are sitting on the stairs FGsus4 Should be taking out the trash Am F And it's really such a drag C Transistor radio Gsus4 And if I let it go F Let it fall and let it crash G Let it fall and let it crash Chorus (variant): C Em Sing to me Sing to me Am The pretty alibis F Honey coated lies C I wanna be deceived Em Sing to me Sing to me Am Let them come wave after wave F All those Jesus could not save C You know what it means Bridge: Same chords as chorus, using strings 2 & 3 as the bass holding the original and strings 4 & 5 striking on third and fourth beats in the bar. The common tones stay on beats, and the solo is made up from the changing chords in the bass (v lovely) Chorus: Sing to me Sing to me A million lullabies Of a love that never dies For a moment I'll be free Sing to me Sing to me The ghosts of summers gone Before the world went wrong Sing to me Sing to me EADGBe X02210 - Am X33210 - F X32010 - C 320010 - Gsus4 X55432 - G 022000 - Em
