This Side Of Morning Del Amitri (Justin Currie)
This si another song of the album "waking Hours" by Del
Amitri (1989). It is one of my favourites. It has lovley
chord-progressions and nevertheless is easy to play.
INTRO
2x D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
D D6sus4 G A D
Nobody's perfect, and that's something
D6sus4 G A
that I'm sure she'll know
D D6sus4 G A
Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times
F# G G9
is like trying to divide ice from snow
D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi
G A
And said "Guess were to go"
D D6sus4
And the driver turned about and said,
G A
"Finding what you want is like
F# G G9
Trying to divide ice from snow"
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
D D6sus4 G A
Nobody's helpless, although
D D6sus4 G A
I've never felt this helpless before
D D6sus4 G A
And trying to persuade myself not to think about her
F# G G9
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
D D6sus4 G
And so I put down the bottle
A D D6sus4
While in my head time is collapsing
G A
And the currents run cold
D D6sus4
So I can curse her memory
G A F#
But don't try telling me that she was not
G
An emerald in a mountain of coal
G9 F#
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
G G9
At the end of the rainbow.
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
A G
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive
D
But will forget
G
So take my from this party, driver
A
put me back to bed
A G D
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
G A A9
So if this taxi is for hire
G
I'll get in the back
G9 A A7 A6sus4 A
Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.
D D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
D D6sus4 G A D
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that
D6sus4 G A
I'm sure she'll know
D D6sus4
And trying to persuade myself
G A
Not to think about her is like
F# G G9
Trying to tell the crockels not to crow
F#
Or like trying to tell the striker
G G9
Not to think about the goal.
A A9 G G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G G9
That I never guessed
D D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
D D6sus4 G A - D

"This Side Of Morning" Del Amitri
This song was recently transcribed by helmers@chemie.fu-berlin.de (Juergen
Helmers).
I made some changes (changes are defined as corrections and personal
preferences).
I put the capo on the 2nd fret, changed the intro, changed the end of each
verse and the end of the song. Either way... great tune.
