Êîììåíòàðèé: Gordon (1992 Sire/Warner Bros.)
Hello City
1st song on the album but not a lot of American airplay (if any)
Jazzy kind of tune.
I had, and am still having troubles figuring out the chords for the part
beginning "Maybe I caught you at a bad time . . ."
I think you could flip back and forth between D and A and the final chord ("on
Barrington Street") would be a G. Open to suggestions.
C7
Hello city . . .
G D
Another night at the Palace,
C C7 G D C Cadd9
'cause there is nothing else to do. (Whoa, whoa)
G D
The same people, the same drinks
C
and the same music,
C7
the same quicksand.
G D C
I think this harbour town is waist
Cm7
deep and sinking fast.
G D C
CHORUS: Hello city, You've found
C7 G D C Cadd9
an enemy in me. (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
G D C C7
Hello city, (Hello city,) hello city.
G D
Second night at the Warehouse,
C C7 G D C C7
and my mock turtleneck just reeks. (Whoa, whoa)
G D
From the liquor room to the changeroom
C C7 G
to the doom and gloom of the hotel room,
D
I wish this seaside beerhall would
C Cm7
sink into the bay.
CHORUS
Maybe I caught you at a bad time,
maybe I should call you back next week,
maybe half the fault was mine that
the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street.
G D C
It's three o'clock in the morning,
C7 G D C Cadd9
and I'm hungry so let's eat. (Whoa, whoa)
G D
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
C C7 G
and the barfights, we're just taking in the sights.
D C Cm7
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed.
CHORUS
G
What a good place to be,
D
don't believe them,
C
'Cause they speak a different language
C7 G
and it's never been happy for me. (It's happy hour
D C Cadd9
again, whoa, whoa)
G D G D C C7
It's Happy Hour again. (Whoa, whoa)
G D
Hello city,
C Cm7 G
hello city.
