The Spirit Of Jazzv2

This is done by ear, so apologies if not 100% accurate. Sounds ok to me though.....

Just a note , on the chorus, the notes on the riff coincide with the lyrics, so play

that note on that lyric, just to make it a bit easier for coordination.

Any improvements, let me know thelibertine1986@hotmail.co.uk

Power chords for verses (palm muted!!!)

Verse (Palm-Muting)

The cool is dead, baby go on and sleep

Rest your weary head and lover bury me

And in the morning we'll start over again

That's how they do it up on the screen

(Then second guitar plays the riff below palm muted, rhythm no longer palm muted)

See me and my baby we would dance all night

And I would know the steps in my baby's time

To do it like they do for the girls uptown

I heard they light 'em up like the blues

Pre-Chorus

So I'm waiting (so I'm waiting)

And she's waiting (and she's waiting)

For us to remember................

Chorus

So was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, so

I would wait on the edges in between

These New York streets, where you and I would meet

Then play intro again.

Verse 2 (Palm muting)

For twenty nine years we loved that line

And I would take it easy if I had your mind

But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire

(no chord here)

And you're slow like Motown soul

(Then second guitar plays the riff below palm muted, rhythm no longer palm muted)

So what man wouldn't love her with her long black hair?

If I cut you up maybe I came to bear

To bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue

And I'm the only one not here

Pre-Chorus

So I'm waiting (so I'm waiting)

And she's waiting (and she's waiting)

For us to remember................

Chorus

So was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, so

I would wait on the edges in between

These New York streets, where you and I would meet

Bridge

And only

I..........................................can

Heal...............your wounds.

Only I..........................................can

Heal...............your wounds.

When you can't go on

And can't go on

And you can't go on

When you know

Hold on

Was I good to you, the wife of my youth, not another soul could love you like

My.........

Chorus

So was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, so

I would wait on the edges in between

And I would wait on the edges in between

And I would wait on the edges in between

These New York streets, on These New York streets

Where you and I would meet

Thanks.
