From: wvaughan@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (William Vaughan) Subject: CRDs to Lloyd Cole's Love Story (all) Date: 15 Dec 1995 19:02:09 GMT Here are all the tracks to Lloyd Coles most recent album, Love Story. Enjoy Trigger Happy by Lloyd Cole From Love Story This one is really simple as soon as you get the fingerpicking pattern down, which isn't too hard. Sometimes in the verse, Lloyd strums the Asus4 (or plucks it with his fingers) instead of doing the picking pattern. Music theory people will notice the major in the verse and a turn to the minor in the chorus -enjoy. Capo on 2nd fret *Intro* Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B Asus4 *Verse 1*
Dsus2i love your Dsus2/C#head Dsus2/B i love the Asus4way you hold your Dsus2head

*Verse 3 and Chorus (same as verse 2 and chorus)* the way you walk i love the way you wear contempt for my sort. oh, should i give you my money' a steady hand, a little trigger happy angry' little man' oh, pull the trigger take it all. oh, you take it all and you know that gun is loaded, sure you do. summertime blue summertime blue and you know that gun is loaded, sure you do. *Verse 4 (same as other verse except where noted) i love your head i love the way you hold your head because you're young and you know it a steady hand, Dsus2/C (hold) a little trigger happy *repeat verse chords* and we'll tell you how to live, and we'll take away the reason, and we wonder why we wonder how you're not the way that we were. and we'll tell you how to live, and we'll take away the reason, and we wonder why we wonder how you're not the way that we were. and we'll tell you how to live, and we'll take away the reason, and we wonder why we wonder how you're not the way that we were. Sentimental Fool by Lloyd Cole A basic strum pattern - listen to the song for when to hold chords - especially at the end. Capo on the 2nd fret *Intro* D C G

Love Ruins Everything Capo 4th fret This one is a little tricky to get the timing right - if you play along with the album it should come quickly. If tabbed out the verse and prechorus as I play it and it sounds pretty good. The Spanish like guitar part in front I haven't tabbed out, but if you mess around with it, its not hard. I like to play this one with my fingers and pluck the strings instead of using a pick also - allows for greater control over the strings. chords not tabbed D xx0232 C x32010 Dm xx0231 Dsus2 xx0230 C/B x22010 D5 xx023x Am x02210 Intro and verse riff D Bm (strum) Em7 (strum) D* -----2---5---2--------------------0------------2--0----0------| -----3---3---3-----3--------------3------------3--3--3-3------| -------------------4--------------0------------0--0--2-0------| -0--------------------------------2------------0-----0-0------| -------------------2--------------2---------------------------| ----------------------------------0---------------------------| *verse 1*

Unhappy Song This song is a straight bass note strum pattern after the first intro - the chords to the chorus are basically the same as the verse, except played in a different position - I don't know if this is how Lloyd does it on the record, but it sounds best to me - if it doesn't to you, try the verse chords over the chorus - both sound pretty close.

well i'd Ebe there now wouldn't F#mi' B D
F#m (fade into "Lets Get Lost") now wouldn't i' Let's Get Lost On this one, hit the bass note, then the rest of the chord. Letters not capitalized represent single notes on the 6th string. For the walk up at the end of a stanza, use the G# as the bass note in the bass note chord pattern. Also, for the E, the strum is much shorter, to allow time for the walk up. There may also be a second guitar, playing the bass notes an octave higher to fill out the arrangement. *Capo 2nd fret* Chords E/G# 422100 E/G 322100 E/F# 222100 (or 2x2100) E 022100 F#m 244222 G#m 466444 *Intro* E/G# E/G E/F# E e f# g g# *Verse 1*
