Bellas Birthday Cake


I recommend tuning down a half-step so you can use alternate fingerings for some of the chords. I mean, who plays an Eb bar chord anyways? Suggested fingerings are A#dim - {X12320} and B/F# - {224442} Tuning: Eb-Ab-C#-F#-Bb-Eb Intro: C#m Verse: C#m B E F# C#m B Bbdim Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year A B E D and took a certain liking to a fella there, Bella A B E D She said I brought her back to some old better man, fella F# Ab A Bella she was born today, feeling kinda spry... Chorus: C#m A E B Bella's Birthday Cake was burning, yeah Like Lightning, Like Fire Bella's Birthday Cake was burning... (Intro)(Verse)(Chorus) Break: {C#m A E B} x2 Bridge: F# B F# B (B7) And all of her lines she left unread, spirits and battles won, she said Ab C#m B Bbdim and over her mountain tops she ground me off where...I can't remember... (Break) Reprise: C#m B E F# C#m B Bbdim Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year F# Ab A Bella she was born today... "Bella!": {C#m A E B} x 4 (Chorus) ad nauseum Lyrics Verse: Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry Chorus: Bella's Birthday Cake was burning Like Lightning, Like Fire Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...

Reprise: Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year Bella she was born today... Chorus: BELLA'S Birthday Cake was burning Bella's BIRTHDAY Cake was burning Bella's Birthday CAKE was burning Bella's Birthday Cake was BURNING...50 years gone. *[on a personal note, i first heard this song on a promotional cd for Surge, that green soda from the 90's. Surge no longer exists, and this song was tough to find. Finally found it on youtube in some clip featuring the Sims. Enjoy!]
