Got A Suitcase Got Regrets


From the King of Cards album, one of his best songs I think. Capo 1st fret. Everything relative to capo. Chords used: G: 320033 G/F#: 200033 Cadd9: X32033 Intro and verse (Just play the top part for the intro): e|----------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------| G|-----0----------0------0----------0-----| x 2 D|-----9--9---9---9------9--9---9---9-----| A|---7------7---7---7--6------6---6---6---| E|----------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0----------0-----0----------0-----0----------0-----0----------0---| D|-----7--7---7---7-----7--7---7---7-----9--9---9---9-----9--9---9---9---| x1 A|---5------5---5---5-5------5---5---5-7------7---7---6-7------7---7---7-| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Change the locks on the door Put out the light in the hall I do not live here anymore Put the world in a box Turn the sign to the street Aim for where the horizon and blue skies meet Chorus: G But all I know is G/F# Cadd9 G I'm not ready yet, for the light to dim G/F# Cadd9 Go a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet I've been a gifted thief Stole everything for the cause I never had fingers as light as yours So wake up pretty girl See the hope in small things Disappointment can where you thin *Chorus* For the extended chorus part at the end, just keep playing the chords G G/F# and Cadd9 through it. But all I know is I'm not ready yet, for the light to dim Go a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet And I'll raise this glass of wine And I'll say your name So lets be killers babe Make the great escape From all the bitter words of every crowded street and broken heart Its Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory Drunk on velvet wine, southern cross for light Deal your cards and hope that I can play a better hand this time Thats it, comments/corrections welcome.
