14th Street Tab

by Rufus Wainwright


                           
You've got my lost brother's soul
    +7   
My dear mother's eyes
  
A brown horse's mane
            
And my uncle's name
                     
You walked me down 14th Street
         +7                  
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
                                  
In the home of the brave and of the weak

                            
But why'd you have to break all my heart
                                
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
                       
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
                          
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?

                                          /  / /
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
              EmDb       
Damn you guess I'll have to get a new one

I'd love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.

But why'd you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver

                             +7
Don't ever change, don't ever worry
                         
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
                             +7
To 14th Street where I won't hurry
                                       
And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow
                                   
And they'll be rainbows and we will finally know

Now run down chromatically from G (single notes) for 1 octave and start the progression for the verse

What a fantastic song, enjoy ;-)
