Parting Gift by Fiona Apple
Album : Extraordinary Machine, 2005
The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right..
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|
or
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---5------------|
which sounds better than playing just plain chords.
Intro: Play the above twice -.-
1st Part:
I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once more than once
E5D5
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
2nd Part: (Mess with the chords
I bet you could never tell
That I knew you didn't know me that well
G (Struck Once)
It is my fault you see
F (Struck Once)
You never learned that much from me
Chorus:
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
?
You were always good for rhyme
?
And from the first to the last time
The sign says stop
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
(quick transition)
But I love what we started it says stop
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
(quick transition)
But I love what we started
1st Part:
I took off my glasses
While you were yelling at me once more than once
So as not to see you see me react
Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back
2nd Part:
I bet your fortress face
Belied your fort of lace
G (Struck Once)
It is by the grace of me
F (Struck Once)
You never learned what I could see
Chorus:
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
?
You were always good for rhyme
?
And from the first to all the lasts times
All the signs said stop
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
(quick transition)
But I love what we started it says stop
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
(quick transition)
But I love what we started
