Tuning: E A D G B E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost Lucy – Al Stewart --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Al Stewart From: "Time Passages" (1978) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I've been listening to Stewart's recording lately and suddenly realized that the chord sequence in the last line of the BRIDGE has a beautifully weird ring to it. When I submitted this tab some years ago, I heard a G/B there. The changes are so fast there and it's all so hazy, but now I think the chord is actually Bdim7. Sounds great and fits the vocal melody perfectly. Let me know what you think! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-e Bdim7 x-x-0-1-0-1 or x-2-3-1-3-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | Am | % | [Verse]
AmLucy worked a different club every Cday And though she put her Gmind to it Her Dmheart was never Fin it She Amstayed around just long enough to get Cpaid She won't pass the Gtime with you, Dmshe can't stay a Fminute
[Bridge]
And Gall these changing G7faces never Ambothered her at all They just Gexisted like a Fback-drop or a Cpattern on the Gwall G7Lucy looks like someone who is Amwaiting for a call Bdim7 Am Bdim7 Am Bdim7 E | Am | % | She knows will come, but no-one else can hear at all
[Verse]
AmLucy finds the dressing room and the Cbar Hangs her clothes up, Ghopes tonight The Dmcontract won't be Fbroken Well, they Amkick you round so much when you're not a Cstar Make you play all Gnight just for a Dmpittance or a Ftoken
[Bridge]
But Gall these imperG7fections never Ambothered her at all She says it Gsharpens your Fperception when your Cback's against the Gwall There's G7something that enables her to Amrise above it all To Bdim7shrug it Amoff, just Bdim7when it Amseems to Bdim7go too Efar
[Chorus]
AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7 feel the pain comin' Emon inside AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7 feel it now and you don't know Emwhy Dm | Am | % | You don't know why, mmmmh
[Solo] | Am | C | G Dm | F | | Am | C | G Dm | F | [Bridge]
The Glast time that I G7saw her she had Amgiven up the chase Moved Gaway to CaliFfornia, got a Csuntan on her Gface She G7says that life was just another Amtime another space It's Bdim7over Amnow, she Bdim7learned a Amlot, it's Bdim7not a Ewaste
[Chorus]
AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7feel the pain comin' Emon inside AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7feel it now and you don't know Emwhy
AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7feel yourself reaching Emout inside AmHey, hey, hey, I think you Galmost Fmaj7feel it now and you don't know Emwhy You don't know Dmwhy, mmmAmmh [repeat Am and fade)
