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.

G+G 
A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Nobody's perfect, and that's something
D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
that I'm sure she'll know
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times
F#F# G+G 
G9G9
is like trying to divide ice from snow
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi
G+G A augmentedA
And said "Guess were to go"
D MajorD D6sus4
And the driver turned about and said,
G+G A augmentedA
"Finding what you want is like
F#F# G+G G9G9
Trying to divide ice from snow"
A augmentedA 
A9A9 G+G G9G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A augmentedA
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G+G G9G9
That I never guessed
D MajorD 
D9sus4D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G+G A augmentedA 
A7A7 A6sus4 A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
Nobody's helpless, although
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
I've never felt this helpless before
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
And trying to persuade myself not to think about her
F#F# G+G G9G9
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G
And so I put down the bottle
A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4
While in my head time is collapsing
G+G A augmentedA
And the currents run cold
D MajorD D6sus4
So I can curse her memory
G+G A augmentedA F#F#
But don't try telling me that she was not
G+G
An emerald in a mountain of coal
G9G9 F#F#
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
G+G G9G9
At the end of the rainbow.
A augmentedA A9A9 G+G G9G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A augmentedA
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G+G G9G9
That I never guessed
D MajorD D9sus4D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G+G A augmentedA A7A7 A6sus4 A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
A augmentedA G+G
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive
D MajorD
But will forget
G+G
So take my from this party, driver
A augmentedA
put me back to bed
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
G+G A augmentedA A9A9
So if this taxi is for hire
G+G
I'll get in the back
G9G9 A augmentedA A7A7 A6sus4 A augmentedA
Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.
D MajorD D D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that
D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
I'm sure she'll know
D MajorD D6sus4
And trying to persuade myself
G+G A augmentedA
Not to think about her is like
F#F# G+G G9G9
Trying to tell the crockels not to crow
F#F#
Or like trying to tell the striker
G+G G9G9
Not to think about the goal.
A augmentedA A9A9 G+G G9G9
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
A augmentedA
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4 G+G G9G9
That I never guessed
D MajorD D9sus4D9sus4 D6sus4
But from this side of morning
G+G A augmentedA A7A7 A6sus4 A augmentedA D MajorD D6sus4 G+G A augmentedA
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.

Subject: CRD: Corrections to "This side of the morning" - Del Amitri
"This Side Of Morning" Del Amitri
This song was recently transcribed by [email protected] (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.

capo = 2
