Standard (EADGBE)
There's a cat in the window,
of the house of my lover
well she sleeps there alone now
or perhaps with another
(basically just stick to that chord progression all the way through)
Fade into the piano chords
If you're playing this on piano, for the A chord add in the B note
right next to the root A, this will help make some of that strange
resonance of the chords he's playing. If you want to do a melody type
riff just use the notes naturally in these chords/scale. It's easy to figure
out the back-and-forth part (try-ey-ey-ey) at the end of verses.
So, you say there are spaces,
Open and wide.
Believe me there's days,
Longer than nights.
And you will be happy, the minute you try...
But you don't try.
No you don't try.
And you speak of a fever,
That burns you inside.
As you explain to your mother,
How you wanted to die.
So she kisses your fingers,
Says "My Darling but why?
When there is so much more...
There is so much more..."
Do you know there are spaces,
Open and wide.
Oh believe me, there's days,
Longer than nights.
And you will be happy,
If only you'd try.
Oh won't you try,
Oh won't you try...
The end. Play some wrong notes and let it ring out and not resolve.
