This is how I play this song. It's very basic but sounds okay. The middle eight is
slightly wrong (the Dm part) but it works okay. PM me with any improvements if you want.
song this, Bell X1 did it again with another fine album of fantastic songs. Enjoy.
Thanks to Kelsey for the help ;-)
Intro: C F
CShe was only just a girl in a picture
But he thought 'If I can only make her Fsmile
Then she'd be mine'
CHe'd folded it, refolded it so many times,
He'd already lost some of her to the Fcreases
Precious pieces
CHe wondered how close he'd ever been to her,
In this ebb and flow of the distance beFtween us
Maybe she got the same bus
CAnd he left a trail of string wherever he went
When he was sleeping, he tied it to hisF toe
If she crossed it then he'd know
But he Gknew
That all was unFravelling
And he was bGare
Stripped of hisF skin G
Like the ribs of a broken umbreFlla
Sticking out of a bCin
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
FDo do do do do-do do do do do do-do
He'Cd pull his collar up against the wind,
Against those who said that trying was the first step to Ffailing
Oh he was railing C
And filled with new found purpose and pride,
He'd make something of this heady gFlow
Now where would she go?
But what do I Gknow
Cos all is unFravelling
And he was Gbare
Stripped of hisF skin G
Like the ribs of a broken umbreFlla
Sticking out of a bCin
Do do do do do-doAm
G Dm C Dm
GBut he Amknew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
G Dm C Dm
GWith time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
CShe was only just a girl in a picture,
But he thought 'If I could only make her Fsmile,
Then she'd be mine' C
Oh the thought of being faced with her
Gave him the fear and sometimes in the morning a Ftent
Oh lord give him strength
Cos he kGnew
That all was unFravelling
And he was bGare
He was stripped of hisF skin
Yeah he kGnew
That all was unFravelling
And he was bGare
He was stripped of hisF skin G
Like the ribs of a broken umbreFlla
Sticking out of a bCin
Do do do do do-do do do do do doF-do
Do do do do d-do do do do do do-do.
Sticking out of a bCin
