Postcards From Scarborough chords by Michael Chapman

Chords with lyrics

[Capo on 2nd fret]

F6F6 [1 x 3 2 3 1]

Theres a little twiddle on the D MajorD chord at the ends of the
verses, indicated by the D6/4 below. Listen to the records
to get the timing but you just switch between a normal D MajorD
and

D6D6 [x 0 0 2 3 3] and D4 [x 0 0 2 3 0]


Intro - I'm not going to attempt to transcribe Michael's
finger-picking Intro. It's starts out as the chords of
the verse after that you're on your own ;-) In the verse
you need to flat-pick out the bass run G, F#, F, E MajorE from
the first 4 chords.

G+G        D MajorD          F6F6     E MajorE
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
  A minorAm  C majorC         D MajorD     D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing

G+G         D MajorD        F6F6       E MajorE
I went down to the harbour just to catch a bite to eat
A minorAm        C majorC      D MajorD     D6/4
 Boats along the quayside and seagulls round my feet
G+G      C majorC          D MajorD  D6/4
Remind me of when we were there together
    E minorEm     B minorBm
  The food was so tasteless
      E minorEm     B minorBm
  And the wine was so stale
    E minorEm      B minorBm
  I looked in the mirror
      E minorEm     D6/4
  And my face was so pale
    G+G     C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
  Not like when we were there together

G+G          D MajorD    F6F6     E MajorE
I took a walk up to Paradise like we did before
      A minorAm         C majorC      D MajorD  D6/4
But there's nothing there like Paradise to me anymore
G+G     C majorC        D MajorD   D6/4
Not since we've been there together

 G+G      D MajorD         F6F6        E MajorE
I sleep in the same room and the walls they are so white
      A minorAm        C majorC         D MajorD   D6/4
But there's nothing there to warm me in the cool of the night
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
Not like when we were here together.

    E minorEm      B minorBm
  The food it is so tasteless
      E minorEm     B minorBm
  And the wine is so stale
   E minorEm     B minorBm
  I look in the mirror
      E minorEm     D6/4
  And my face is so pale
    G+G     C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
  Not like when we here there together

  G+G      D MajorD          F6F6     E MajorE
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
  A minorAm  C majorC         D MajorD    D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
     time past and time passing
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD  D6/4
G+G       C majorC       D MajorD    E minorEm
            time passing


[Note the chords on "The food is tasteless" sections are not
what's on the records, they should be A minorAm + E minorEm instead of B minorBm + E minorEm]
