Tuning: G C E A
FROM: Chapmanjm@aol.com (John Chapman) UNLUCKY LADY (followed by note on THE SLACKS) from TRIP SHAKESPEARE off the album Across the Universe There are a couple of places where Im not totally sure, but this is close:
Verse1: Em My looking dayAs were done When I fDell into her Gsun CAll the other planets fell in lDine At nEmight when she came to Abed I would hDang my happy hGead Chorus: AEmnd say oh unAlucky lady yDou are mine GOh unlucky lAady you are Bmmine GOh unlucky lAady you are Dmine
Verse2: She gave me green planets and worlds To hang around my neck like pearls I lay on her bed with fruit and wine Perfeectly satisfied That I had found the luminous ride Chorus: She said Oh I think Im slipping from your mind
GNo unlucky Alady you are mBmine GNo unlucky lAady you stDill shine B BridGge: Stars all arouAnd my heDad GStars all around my hAead D GAnd she thinks shes slipping from the Asky
Verse3: My looking days were done We became like the earth and sun All the marble planets fell in line So tonight as we laid in bed With my lips up near her head
Chorus: Em I said oh unAlucky lady yDou are mineB, oh Bridge: Stars all around my head Stars all around my head G A D/C/G/ / /D/C/D Chorus: Oh unlucky lady, you are mine
THE SLACKS (also from Across the Universe) Very simple - no point in creating a separate file: Verse and Chorus are all G / D / A Except that the final line of the chorus ("...we did a dance..") is Em / G / A In the very beginning when its all acoustic, it sounds like the chords are strummed at the base of the fretboard, and the D is played with the first finger barring the top four string on the 2nd fret, the 2nd finger on the B string fret 3, and the 3rd finger on the D string fret 4. This way, going from D to A involves just releasing fingers 2 and 3 and pulling the strings. You can hammer on with the two fingers to go back from A to D, and play with it a little to make each of the lines at the beginning of the song slightly different "D" "A" E|----2 ----0-| B|----3 ----2-| G|----2 ----2-| D|----4 ----2-| A|---- x ----x-| E|---- x ----x-| At the end of the chorus when they do Em/G/A, on the low E string play the notes E--F--G when going from Em to G.
