Leslie Anne Levine Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The Intro is a little confusing, if you want to get it right. The chords are

basically...

E C7M Asus2

You can play this and still sound good. But if you want to be perfect, then you should

know that the guitarist also, after the Asus2, plays all open strings once, and an Em

chord once, then repeats the whole thing. The second time he does this, he doesn't play

the Em chord, and just goes right to E.

This is kind of what it looks like. Listen to the song to get the rhythm perfectly.

(* the v^v is to show downstrokes and upstrokes, if you were to continually move your

hand up and down,even when not playing a note. I use it as a timing measurement.)

* v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

Please note: I left an open E string in the bass for the whole time because it is

actually there. it's not a typo. this is reflected in the chords below as well.

That's also the guitar part for most of the whole song.

Here's the rest of the song:

E C7M Asus2

On the roofs above the streets

The only love I've known's a chimney sweep

Lost and lodged inside a flue

Back in 1842

Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs

And curse my mother's name

Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mesallied

Has brought this fate on me

E C7M Asus2

My name is Leslie Anne Levine

I've no one left to mourn for me

My body lies inside its grave

In a ditch not far away

Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet

And shake my rattle bone

Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats

Of the girl who died with me

E C7M Asus2
