ubi_rex@hotmail.com I made some notes at the end regarding the instrumental interlude. Suggestions welcome. I don't know what anyone is singing at the end. D C You went looking for shelter...in all the wrong spaces G A You grew gluttonous and famous...with faces G F#m Nameless and blank, superstitiously you name them Em F#m St. Christopher and Johanna, St. Christopher and Johanna G A St. Christopher and Johanna D Overcome with the holiday spirit C Mark says the herald angels won't hear it G And remember, the wolves that you run with are wolves A Don't forget G F#m They exist to give you something to regret, I'll be there too Em something sadder than that brass portrait F#m which shines through your morning, dim. Em Something sadder than that brass portrait F#m which shines through your morning, dim D I'll give you something to be sad about C Hey, the picture really capture your mouth F#m Poised to say: It's your turn to go down now, G it's your turn to go down now A It's your turn to go down now. G It's your turn to go down now...in the spirit of giving D Dmaj7 D7 A7* x3 (*see below) in G D A Comprend Mary, come ah----on? Help them Mary come on? Love them Mary come on? Club prim Mary come on? Repeat G D A (I have no idea what the lyrics are) Notes: *Asterisked chords aren't really chords, just a chromatic riff. *But you can play G and A7 and get away with it, I think. I think this is what the guitar plays. The note in parenthesis is just meant to be a glimpse of where the repeat it going. D Dmaj7 D7 G* A7* ----5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------5----------------- repeat --7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7------------------- 7-------7-------6-------6-------5-------5------4-3-4-5-6-2-4-6-(7) -------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------2-1-2-3-4-0-2-4-(5) -------------------------------------------------------------- The last time a guitar does something like this at the G-A7 spot (note I changed it to G-D7 here) leading into the G D A part.
