Carrie Newcomer — Writing You A Letter

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

*******
A few notes about these chords:

Carrie's finger picking seems to hover around Em and Em7.
You can alternate between them during basic strumming, anywhere I've written Em.

In the chorus, the A-D-A progression is up for your interpretation.
I chose A-Dmaj7-Asus2 because it's especially easy to do on guitar, and I like how it sounds.
But it could also be A7-D-A, or even just A-D-A if you like. Whatever works best for you.

Em Em Em Em

[Verse 1]
                  Em                    Em
I'm writing you a letter on hotel letterhead
               G         A                 Em
A record of my restlessness before I go to bed
                     Em                               Em
On the other side of midnight, on the far side of the world
                  G     A                 Em
I'm sending out a signal, hoping that you heard


[Chorus]
      Em                 Em
I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through
          A        Dmaj7        Asus2
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
Em                       Em
That's how it is, layin' stone on stone
A               Dmaj7         Asus2
Building little altars by the side of the road

[Instrumental]
Em Em


[Verse 2]
                  Em                            Em
I'm writing you a love note on the center of my palm
                   G       A                       Em
Little circles and symbols for every day I've been gone
                      Em                       Em
It's all miracles and magic, it's as simple as that
                   G          A               Em
Pulling fishes and loaves like rabbits from a hat


[Chorus]
      Em                 Em
I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through
          A        Dmaj7        Asus2
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
Em                       Em
That's how it is, layin' stone on stone
A               Dmaj7         Asus2
Building little altars by the side of the road

[Instrumental]
Em Em Em Em


[Verse 3]
                        Em                            Em
All the blessed and the righteous, the bewildered and confused
                     G     A                 Em
All the lost and the lonely are leaning into you
                         Em                              Em
They're all leanin' into something that they cannot even name
                G          A                      Em
And nobody gets out of here without forever being changed


[Chorus]
      Em                 Em
I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through
          A        Dmaj7        Asus2
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
Em                       Em
That's how it is, layin' stone on stone
A               Dmaj7         Asus2
Building little altars by the side of the road


[Outro]
      Em                 Em
I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through
          A        Dmaj7        Asus2
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
Em                Em
I know how it is, that's how it goes
A               Dmaj7         Asus2
Building little altars by the side of the road

Em                      Em
And I know how it is, I know how it is
A           Dmaj7 Asus2
Know how it is, I know how
Em
Know how it is...
