867-5309; Call Me, Maybe?

For any intrepid guitarists, the tab/lyrics after the jump

Did Someone Say "DuckTales?"

More Tabs!

Since I liked the first Tab post I did (see below), here's round two--a song I wrote as an undergrad called Cherche La Femme. Is it a bit syrupy? Sure. Are the lyrics hyperbolic and cliche? You Betcha! Can't stop me from liking this song, though.

Verse 1 (Fingerstyle):

E            C#m7            A        Bm   A     Bm A E             C#m7 Bm A Bm A

Sleep the weekend away for lack of anything better to do

E               C#m7      A         Bm     A    Bm         A  E     C#m7 Bm A Bm A

The cloudy weekend dreams dance with thoughts of you

E              C#m7              A       Bm        A      Bm     A   E           C#m7 A    Bm A Bm A

When you can’t sleep the world becomes your dream  the edges to life     blur and sway

E         C#m7        A     Bm A Bm A                   E            C#m7   A  B  

Put my head to my pillow                               and hope they all       go away

Refrain:

Bm7           E            C#m7                  A

Cherche la Femme - always slipps right through my fingers

Bm7                   E         C#m7                   A

Who what where when - rejection fades but pain still lingers

Bm7     E              C#m7    A

Why oh why cant I get her out of my dreams

Bm7          E                  A        D   A

Oh well I’ll live with it it seems

Verse 2 (Strummed):

Drink the weekend away Lonely chaser to a love not there

Light bends through a citron sky Flashing your face everywhere

This is the story of a love ending Three ounces at a time

Just give me two more bottles,  And I swear I’ll be just fine.

Instrumental

Refrain

Blast from the past!

I started playing guitar in the Summer of 1994. I believe I wrote this song (my first) in October of that year. I'm quite surprised to find that 12-year-old me was a better songwriter than half the grunge bands of the era (I'm looking at you, Gin Blossoms).

[F#] Sitting quiet [C#] ly in my room [A] Passing hours [B] playing guitar

[F#] Writing lrics [C#] soon forgotten [A] as the hours pro [B] gress

Put [F#] hook in its [A] mouth or run [G#] line round its [B] tounge

verse 2

Phone has remained dead for hours, no one ever cares to call me

Trapped inside this hellish prison wiht nowhere to go

Lock the door and toss the key I’m trapped here for eternity

Destined to become a meal for the leviathan

refrain

Saturday Boredom like old Leviathan

My guitar remains my true companion

Angel don’t leave me, I just want you to be

The one who will help me survive Saturday
