pretty good year
by tori amos
from the album *under the pink*
note: any piano music, not to mention tori music specifically, does not
translate into guitar music very well. in fact, trying to do this with
any of tori's stuff is akin to some sort of blasphemy. take this for what
it is worth. all the chords are sketchy at best due to tori's often unique
chord choices... these chords are not on absolute pitch, but the relative
pitch should be fairly good.
try picking the chords, it sounds much better than simple chords.
capo first fret
tears on the sleeve of a man
don't want to be a boy today
heard the eternal footman
bought himself a bike to race
and greg he writes letters and burns his cd's
they say you were something in those formative years
hold onto nothing as fast as you can
well, still... pretty good year -- ah... pretty good
maybe a bright sandy beach
is gonna bring you back
maybe not so now you're off
you're gonna see america
well let me tell you something about (stutter) america
pretty good year ah... pretty good
some things are melting now
some things are melting now... well
hey...
well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright
well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright
and Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed
well, still... pretty good year -- ah... pretty good
ah... pretty good year
