Silver Lining


Jenny Lewis - "Silver Lining" (transcribed by Josh Alder) This is how Jenny has played this song acoustically during her solo shows. I transcribed this after watching her play it live at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon, on May 30, 2009. Note the capo on the first fret. STANDARD TUNING CAPO 1 INTRO: G Em G Em C G G Em And I'm not going back G Em Into rags or in the hole G Em And our bruises are coming C G But we will never fold G Em And I was your silver lining G Em As the story goes G Em I was your silver lining C G But now I'm gold Am Em Hooray hooray C G I'm your silver lining Am Em Hooray hooray C G But now I'm gold G Em And I was your silver lining G Em High up on my toes G Em You were running through fields of hitch-hikers C G As the story goes Am Em Hooray hooray C G I'm your silver lining Am Em Hooray hooray C G But now I'm gold Am Em Hooray hooray C G I'm your silver lining Am Em Hooray hooray C G But now I'm gold [Instrumental break] G Em (3x) C G G Em And the grass it was a ticking G Em And the sun was on the rise G Em I never felt so wicked C G As when I willed our love to die G Em And I was your silver lining G Em As the story goes G Em I was your silver lining C G But now I'm gold Am Em Hooray hooray C G I'm your silver lining Am Em Hooray hooray C G But now I'm gold Am Em Hooray hooray C G I'm your silver lining Am Em Hooray hooray C G But now I'm gold C G But now I'm gold C G But now I'm gold
