Parting Gift by Fiona Apple Album : Extraordinary Machine, 2005 Submitted by: Facundo M. Quiroga (facundoq86@hotmail.com) The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with the chords to make it sound right.. The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this: e|------------------| B|------------------| G|------------------| D|----6-------------| A|---7---77-5-------| E|-5---6------------| or e|------------------| B|------------------| G|------------------| D|----6-------------| A|---7---77-5-------| E|-5---5------------| which sounds better than playing just plain chords. Intro: Play the above twice -.- 1st Part: A E5 I opened my eyes D5 A E5 D5 While you were kissing me once more than once A E5 D5 A E5D5 And you looked as sincere as a dog A E5 D5 A E5 D5 Just as sincere as a dog does, A E5 D5 E5 D5 When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love 2nd Part: (Mess with the chords C B I bet you could never tell C A5 That I knew you didn't know me that well G (Struck Once) It is my fault you see F (Struck Once) You never learned that much from me Chorus: C B C G Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine C E?
