100 Round The Bends


100 Round the Bends - Missy Higgins On a Clear Night, 2007 transcribed by Damian Smith (pondlife87@hotmail.com) For simplicity, chords are written concert pitch. INTRO/VERSE (capo 9) C#m F#m B7 C#m e|-0-----0-----2-----0-----| B|-0-----1-----1-----0-----| G|-0-----2-----2-----0-----| D|-2-----2-----0-----2-----| A|-------------------------| E|-------------------------| CHORUS (capo 4) B D E B E e|-3-----3-----1-----3-----|--3----3-- B|-3-----3-----3-----1-----|--3----1-- G|-0-----0-----3-----0-----|--0----0-- D|-0-----0-----3-----2-----|--0----2-- A|-2-----2-----1-----3-----|--2----3-- E|-3-----3-----------------|--3------- BRIDGE (capo 9) F#m C#m Bm e|-0-----0-----0-----0-----|--1--| B|-1-----1-----0-----0-----|--3--| G|-2-----2-----0-----0-----|--2--| D|-2-----2-----2-----2-----|--0--| A|-0-----0-----2-----2-----|-----| E|-------------0-----0-----|-----| Final chord F#m *** If you're playing this with a single guitar, you'll notice it's a little hard to switch capos mid-song. Missy avoids this problem live by playing capo 9 the whole way through (using the chord shapes D F G in the chorus) but unfortunately this sounds tinny and ineffective without a backing band. If you wish, you can use this compromise for solo guitar: capo 2 Intro/verse Chorus Bridge e|-7-----7-----9-----7---|-0-----0---2---|-0---2---|-0-----2---|-0-| B|-7-----8-----8-----7---|-2-----1---3---|-2---3---|-0-----3---|-1-| G|-7-----9-----9-----7---|-2-----0---2---|-2---2---|-0-----4---|-2-| D|-9-----9-----7-----9---|-2-----2---0---|-2---0---|-2-----4---|-2-| A|-----------------------|-0-----3-------|-0-------|-2-----2---|-0-| E|-----------------------|---------------|---------|-0---------|---| *** I follow complications like a bloodhound So pick me up, twist me round and throw me all the way back down 'Cos I find my feet addicted to the ceiling when hanging upside Your smile's a frown - it's all too easy on the ground So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real That feeling is feeling real So I've got a brand new rubber band for you boy Go on and give it a stretch, I can see you're itching to Frustrations on the boil But then I see my damn reflection in your eyeballs And I want nothing more to do with all The things you've made me think I am So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real That feeling is feeling real You were everything for a little while But I broke it I broke it I broke it I broke it didn't I? You were everything for a little while But I broke it I broke it I broke it I broke it didn't I? Oh didn't I So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends We'll take this road until we're back at the start yet again Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real That feeling is feeling real... but feeling rage ain't feeling real (c) Missy Higgins 2007
