September (JACKOPIERCE)
Featured as a bonus track on AWARE 3 compilation
------------------------------------------------
3 funky chords (don't know if names are right at all):
Emadd9 (?) D*dim(something) G* w/o top G
E 2/3 2 O
B O 2 O
G O 2 O
D 2 O O
A 2 x 2
E x 2 3
The Emadd9 chord (Em* below), hammer on E-2 to E-3; listen to the song and
you can pick it up. The bass E-2 on the D*dim chord (D* below) is not
always played either. They screw around with some of the chord changes, but
what's below is the right basic framework.

What was the name she gave herself?
*
They called her September.
*
She wasn't known for much except
*
Her legs and her temper.
He had enough money to get a date back in his place
She kept the lights low to avoid his face
*
He grabbed her arm a little too hard
*
He was rough when she pulled away
*
She started running for the stairs
*
He thought it was all a game
She'd rather die than be abused again
She broke his grip high now on adrenaline
*
She pulled a pistol from her purse,
*
Screamed the party was over.
*
Not the brightest man in the world
*
He reached for the revolver
She cocked the handle back and put one into his chest
And watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest
*
She thought it best,
She turned off all the lights and stereo
*
She sat in the morning breeze and watched the sun glow on the city below
->->*->*...
She sang, "La-la-la...."
*
What was the name she gave herself
*
They called her September.
