I Just Want Your Jeans

Chords in parenthesis are relative to a capo on the 8th fret.

Capo at 3 would work, but 8 sounds closest to the album, where

I think the guitarist is barring everything way up the neck.

The instrumental bridge is tabbed at the bottom.

Let me know if I made any mistakes.

The recording is a little flat, A=435ish, so you’ll sound

a little off pitch unless you tune down accordingly.

Weird chords:

For the capo 8 chords, you can hold the Em shape and just

accent the higher notes, or only play the higher notes.

No capo Capo 8

During the instrumental bridge, this is how I play the end with the capo

C(E)

My room faces north but the sun’s in the south

Eb(G)

I’m just waking up to the news of my birth

I am a girl and I’m lucky to be here

Whatever that’s worth

C(E)

Like an ostrich I lived with my head in the sand

Eb(G)

Slipped into corners, sat on my hands

I learned to stifle the shouts and the outrage

And feeling deep down

Cm(Em)

With my chains falling off

Cm/B(Em/Eb)

And the hope in a friend

Cm/Bb(Em/D)

Cafes and walkways

Cm/A(Em/Db)

sculptured weekends

I’m getting to love my freedom

I’m getting to like my surroundings

C(E)

My room faces north but the sun’s in the south

Eb(G)

You are far out of reach Could I be any worth

To some special person? My mind is unknowing

Of any such love

C(E)

So I yell out the window, answer the mail

Eb(G)

My diary’s quiet, the definitive nail

In my social coffin. I blame all the boffins

For making me fail

Cm(Em)

For an hour in the park

Cm/B(Em/Eb)

Or an hour on the couch

Cm/Bb(Em/D)

With the boy of my choice

Cm/A(Em/Db)

If he makes me go ouch

I will swap all my dumb school prizes

I am open to dark surprises

C(E)

My room faces north but the sun’s in the south

Eb(G)

You are far out of reach, perfect hand, perfect mouth

The boredom, the freedom, the train on the meadow

Please keep me in dreams

Eb(G)

I don’t want commitment

Bb(D)

I don’t want the drama

I just want your jeans

C(E)

I just want your jeans

Instrumental Bridge:

The nice thing about playing with capo 8 is that you can play

the instrumental melody pretty easily while strumming the chords.
