Hi there, this song is one of my favorite Travis b-side and I'be done a cover of this
song on my youtube channel, if you search "the ballad of J smith cover", you might
find it!
Though Fran recorded without using capo, I put the capo on 2nd fret in my video so
that it's more comfortable for me to sing, and you might just switch the capo to any
fret you want.
The intro start with Em
EmHe watched the Cshadows
On the Dwalls of his rGoom
Em C D (use your pinkie to tap on the third fret of first string)
And the silence will speak too soon
And Emhe held her Ctightly
So Dtight he could Gtell
EmHe knew the Cfeeling so Dwell
EmHe said "Pretty baby will you Cmarry me?"
GShe said "You'd look shit upon my B7family tree"
And Emthat's when he realised he'd Chave to start agaiGn B7
EmAnd just when you think you've got it Cfigured out
GThey light seven candles and you're B7blowing them out
EmYou know that you're going to have to Clight them all agaGin B7
EmYou see Cher turning Dnight into Gday
And the Embroken teleCvision diDsplay
AndEm I know you'reC hurting
ButD tonight I can Gpray
EmCos you've got to Cthink for yourDself
DLie down everyGone
Close your B7eyes and look for the Emsun
Even Dthey don't know where it's Ggone
RemiEmniscing of Cdays when you Dknew that you bGelong
EmHe said "Pretty baby will you Cmarry me?"
GShe said "You'd look shit upon my B7family tree"
And Emthat's when he realised he'd Chave to start agaiGn B7
EmAnd just when you think you've got it Cfigured out
GThey light seven candles and you're B7blowing them out
EmYou know that you're going to have to Clight them all agaGin B7
