I hope this helps, i’ve seen a few terrible tabs for this kicking around the place.
Main Verse:
e———————————————
B———————————————
G—x—x—x—x—x—x—x—x——x—x—x—x—-
D—7—5—7—5—7—5—7—5——10—3—10—3—-
A—7—5—7—5—7—5—7—5——10—3—10—3—-
E—5—3—5—3—5—3—5—3——8—1—8—1—-
(For the mute’s on the G during the verse, she mutes the minor note of the chord…
and yes i’m sure, i saw her do it)
Chorus:
e—0—0—0—2—0—2—————-
B—0—3—3—3—1—3—————-
G—2—0—0—2—0—2—————-
D—2—0—2—0—2—0—————-
A—0—2—3—x—3—x—————-
E—x—3—x—x—x—x—————-
After the chorus there’s a keyboard line which goes something like this:
e———————————————
B———————————————
G———————————————
D———————————————
A———————————————
E—5—5—5—5—3—3—3/8—8—8—8—1—1—1—1-
If you’re playing it solo you could just use power chords (unless you have a second
guitar or a bass to play it though i’d suggest leaving it well alone)
Here’s the lyrics as i know them… im 100% sure that they’re right, but i’m only human.
Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
I’d rather have done it with you
Your boy’s smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talkin’ about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune’s
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You’re too beautiful
To put it into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune’s
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune’s
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and clyde
On the run again x4
