Jen Foster - "Venice Beach" *Songs From Thirty-Nine*, Fosterchild Records, 2008 Chords for acoustic guitar Tabbed by Psychiropractor This is my second tab--a beautiful, bittersweet number. Obviously, I've left out all the little frills and musical niceties, so this is just gonna be a basic bare-bones rundown sorta deal. Enjoy... Standard tuning (EADGBe)
First, here's the hook lick: |------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |--2---2--0---0----2---2--0---0----2---2--0------| |-----------3---------------3---------------3----| |---------------------------------------------3--| Now, as to the song proper: F - G - F - G C G Hey, you say you're looking for something you've never found. Am G Well, the last time I checked I was lost and wandering around, C G 'cause I know just how it feels to be the best thing you ever had, Am G but still not quite good enough to be the last one. F G F And there you go again, spinning all your wheels. G You never know what you've got until you lose it, F G F G and here I am still waiting after all these years. C Well, you can look all over this great big world, G and you can look down every street, Am in every bookstore, on every dancefloor, G at every girl you meet. C And you can drive out to California G and chase down all of your dreams. Am I'm sure you'll find someone beautiful, G F G but you'll never...you'll never find me. F G You'll never find me. C G Hey, they say that real love is completely letting go. Am G Well, my hands are way up in the air and you're somewhere in Arizona. C G Just a few more hundred miles and you'll have everything you need, Am G except for these arms to hold you when that lie brings you to your knees. F G F And there you go again, spinning all your wheels. G You never know what you've got 'til you lose it, F G F G and here I am, still waiting after all these years. C Well, you can look all over this great big world, G and you can look down every street, Am in every bookstore, in every dive bar, G at every girl you meet. C And when you look out over the ocean G from the shores of Venice Beach, Am I know you'll find the brightest stars, G F but you'll never...you'll never find me. G F Oh, you'll never find me. G F Oh, you'll never find me. G Oh... C You can look all over this great big world, G you can look down every street, Am in every bookstore, in every dive bar, G at every girl you meet. C And when you look out over the ocean G from the shores of Venice Beach, Am I know you'll find the brightest stars, G F but you'll never...you'll never find me. G F Oh, you'll never find me. G F Oh, you'll never find me. G Oh... F - G - F - G No, no, no, no, no, no... And that's it. You can send corrections, praise and/or sexual propositions to: psychiropractor [at] gmail [dot] com
