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!

[Intro]

[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

You don't know why, mmmmh

[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)
