Shades Of Cool - Lana Del Rey

Tabbed by: Tom Askin

Tuning: standard
Key: Dm
Here's the music for Lana Del Rey's new tune Shades Of Cool.
NOTE! There seems to be two different versions of this song going around, one pitched up a semi-tone.
hit the transpose button depending on what version you have.
Loving the James Bond-esque chromaticism in during the verse,
the close harmony and big reverb give the tune that mysterious edge!
Note for any of you people who write your own songs, a little lesson for you!:
| G Gm Arp |
|And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you|
Going to chord IV in any key, playing the major so in Dm we go to 'G' then make the same
chord minor 'Gm' is a tried and tested technique used in thousands of songs...It's super effective.

My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
G Gm Arp
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
G Gm Arp
He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby too
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't Bbfix him, can't make him bettCer
And I can't Bbdo nothing about this strangCe weather

My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many, one is blue
And when he Gcalls, he calls for Gmme, and not for you
He prays forG love, he prays for Gmpeace, and maybe someone new
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't Bbhelp him, can't make him betCter
And I can't Bbdo nothing about this strangCe weather
[Chorus]
Cause Fyou are unfixCm7able
BbI................C..can't break through your world
?CauFse I live in Cm7shades of cool
YourBb heart is unbCreakable
[Guitar Solo]
Play verse arpeggio over this if you're missing out solo
[Chorus]
Cause Fyou are unfixCm7able
BbI................C..can't break through your world
?CauFse I live in Cm7shades of cool
YourBb heart is unbCreakable

F/Cm7/Bb/...Dm....(pull off -6-5- on the B string whilst holding the Dm on the last chord.
Email me if anything needs changing, think it's pretty much bang on though.
Enjoy, Tom!
