Guitar chords with lyrics
Parting Gift by Fiona Apple
Album : Extraordinary Machine, 2005
Submitted by: Facundo M. Quiroga (facundoq86@hotmail.com)
The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right..
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|-----------------
BB|-----------------
G+G|-----------------
D MajorD|----6-----------
A augmentedA|---7---77-5---
E MajorE|-5---6----------
or
e|-----------------
BB|-----------------
G+G|-----------------
D MajorD|----6-----------
A augmentedA|---7---77-5---
E MajorE|-5---5----------
which sounds better than playing just plain chords.
Intro: Play the above twice -.-
1st Part:
A augmentedA 
E5E5
I opened my eyes
D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
While you were kissing me once more than once
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5D5
And you looked as sincere as a dog
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
Just as sincere as a dog does,
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
2nd Part: (Mess with the chords
C majorC BB
I bet you could never tell
C majorC 
A5A5
That I knew you didn't know me that well
G+G (Struck Once)
It is my fault you see
FF (Struck Once)
You never learned that much from me
Chorus:
C majorC BB C majorC G+G
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
C majorC E? FF G+G
You were always good for rhyme
A minorAm E? C majorC
And from the first to the last time
DmDm C majorC
The sign says stop
DmDm C majorC
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
A minorAm G+G (quick transition) C majorC
But I love what we started it says stop
DmDm C majorC
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
A minorAm G+G (quick transition)
But I love what we started
1st Part:
A augmentedA E5E5
I took off my glasses
D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
While you were yelling at me once more than once
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
So as not to see you see me react
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again
A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5 A augmentedA E5E5 D5D5
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back
2nd Part:
C majorC BB
I bet your fortress face
C majorC A5A5
Belied your fort of lace
G+G (Struck Once)
It is by the grace of me
FF (Struck Once)
You never learned what I could see
Chorus:
C majorC BB C majorC G+G
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
C majorC E? FF G+G
You were always good for rhyme
A minorAm E? C majorC
And from the first to all the lasts times
DmDm C majorC
All the signs said stop
DmDm C majorC
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
A minorAm G+G (quick transition) C majorC
But I love what we started it says stop
DmDm C majorC
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
A minorAm G+G (quick transition)
But I love what we started
I know it doesn't sound right in some parts, and the song probably has
more complex chords, but hey it's playable, and corrections/suggestions are
welcome.
Hope it helps.
