Poker Face
by Lady Gaga
Basically, there isnt a single correct version of this song up here yet. If you
listen to the opening riff, the notes are as follows (Worked out on piano):
G#G# - G#G#[L] - D#D# - G#G#[L] - G#G# - EB - F#F# - F#F#[L]
Couple this with her singing once you start and you see that the verse chords are:
G#m; B and F#. Previously everyone was using chorus chords for the verses. You
might get away with this on guitar but it's still wrong. And judging by some of
the youtube clips doesnt sound too good either.
Here is the correct version:
1st Verse:
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas please
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me, I love it
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Chorus:
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
2nd Verse
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me, I love it
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun
ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Chorus:
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
Bridge:
Use verse chords
I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous
Last Chorus:
Chorus: (x3)
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got me like nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
