Postcards From Scarborough chords by Michael Chapman

[Capo on 2nd fret]

F6 [1 x 3 2 3 1]

Theres a little twiddle on the D 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
and

D6 [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 from
the first 4 chords.

G                D                   F6         E
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
   Am   C                 D          D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G              C             D    D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing

G                  D               F6              E
I went down to the harbour just to catch a bite to eat
Am                C            D          D6/4
  Boats along the quayside and seagulls round my feet
G            C                    D    D6/4
Remind me of when we were there together
        Em          Bm
    The food was so tasteless
            Em          Bm
    And the wine was so stale
       Em           Bm
    I looked in the mirror
           Em          D6/4
    And my face was so pale
        G         C             D    D6/4
    Not like when we were there together

G                   D        F6          E
I took a walk up to Paradise like we did before
            Am                 C           D    D6/4
But there's nothing there like Paradise to me anymore
G         C                D     D6/4
Not since we've been there together

  G            D                 F6                E
I sleep in the same room and the walls they are so white
            Am               C                 D      D6/4
But there's nothing there to warm me in the cool of the night
G             C             D    D6/4
Not like when we were here together.

        Em            Bm
    The food it is so tasteless
            Em         Bm
    And the wine is so stale
      Em          Bm
    I look in the mirror
           Em         D6/4
    And my face is so pale
        G         C             D    D6/4
    Not like when we here there together

    G            D                   F6         E
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
   Am   C                 D       D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G              C             D   D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G              C             D    D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G              C             D    D6/4
          time past and time passing
G              C             D    D6/4
G              C             D        Em
                        time passing


[Note the chords on "The food is tasteless" sections are not
what's on the records, they should be Am + Em instead of Bm + Em]
