Subject: CRD: Will You — Hazel O’Connor
From the movie ‘Breaking Glass’, a UK hit in 1981 and one of the most honest
and genuinely touching ‘oh, go on, give us a shag’ songs ever written. Or
something.
———————————————————
Will You?
Hazel O’Connor
Intro:
Dm | Dm | Dm | Dm | (arpeggio)
Dm F
You drink your coffee,
Bb C
While I sip my tea,
Dm F
And we’re sitting here, playing so cool,
Bb A
Thinking, ‘What will be, will be.’
F C
And it’s getting kind of late now,
Dm A
Oh, I wonder if you’ll stay now,
A
Stay now, stay now, stay now,
Dm F G Dm A
Or will you just politely say ‘Goodnight’?
Dm F
I move a little closer to you,
Bb C
Not knowing quite what to do and I’m
Dm F
Feeling all fingers and thumbs,
Bb A
I spill my tea, oh silly me,
F C
But it’s getting kind of late now,
Dm A
Oh, I wonder if you’ll stay now,
A
Stay now, stay now, stay now,
Dm F G Dm A
Or will you just politely say ‘Goodnight’?
F C
And then we touch, much too much,
Dm A
This moment has been waiting for a long, long time,
F
It makes me shiver,
C
Makes me quiver,
Dm
This moment I am so unsure,
C
This moment I have waited for,
Bb
Well is it something you’ve been waiting for,
A
Waiting for too?
Dm
Take off your eyes,
F
Bare your soul,
Bb C
Gather me to you and make me whole,
Dm
Tell me your secrets,
F
Sing me the song,
Bb A
Sing it to me in the silent dawn.
F C
But it’s getting kind of late now,
Dm A
Oh, I wonder if you’ll stay now,
A
Stay now, stay now, stay now,
Dm F G Dm
Or will you just politely say ‘Goodnight’?
Dm | A | Dm | F | G | Dm | A | Dm
the instrumental sort of dies and then there’s this flam drum break thing and
it all sets off with a thoroughly sexy alto sax solo (played by Wesley
McGoogan) which follows the verse/chorus pattern above. Probably.
