Amy Macdonald - "Poison Prince"
-----------------------------------------

This is how this great song is played without a capo.
Its really simple, there are just 4 chords:

          h            Cis            Fis             F           (Gis)

e|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|
B|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|
G|--------6-------------6--------------3--------------2------------(5)-------|
D|--------8-------------6--------------4--------------3------------(6)-------|
A|--------8-------------6--------------4--------------3------------(6)-------|
E|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|

Instead of the Cis chord, wich is a bit difficult to play,
you can also use the Gis chord. That sounds quite similar.

------------------------------------------------

Here is the way playing the chords:


A poetic genius,
Cis
Its something I don’t see,
Fis
Why would a genius be 

trippin' on me?


And there’s looking and another ,
Cis
Why he can’t see is that 
Fis
I’m looking through his eyes,

So many lies behind his eyes.


and tell me stories from your past,
Cis
And sing me songs you wrote before.
Fis
I tell you this my Poison Prince,

You’ll soon be knocking on Heaven’s door.


Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.


And what we all want 
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song,

So we can dance, the night away.


We said life was easy,
Cis
We said life was fair,
Fis
We said nobody gived a dam,

And nobody even cared.


The way you’re acting now,
Cis
Like you left that all behind.
Fis
You’ve given up, You’ve given in,

And I’m a sucker of that slime.


Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.


And what we all want 
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song ,

So that we can dance, the night away.


Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,

Your life is like a maze.


And what we all want 
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song ,

So that we can dance, the night away.

So I think this is the original way playing this song (without a capo).
I hope you enjoy it.
