Charmer chords by Aimee Mann

Charmer

from "Charmer" (2012)


Note - this song has a pretty typical series of open-chord style walking-chord
changes but is played with barred-power chords instead giving it a unique sound.

Use power chords!

 G        E     C
When you're a charmer

 G       E  F  C
The apples fall

   G   F#               E
And you're quite the little collector

 D       C
You got 'em all


 G        E     C
When you're a charmer

 G     E  F  C
People respond

   G        F#       E
They can't see the hidden agenda

D       C - keyboard riff
you got going on

E         C     G     F#* (bar 2nd fret E and A strings)
But when you're weak it's the Holy Grail
E         C     G   F#*
you're two for one, it's a fire sale
E         C     G   F#*
and that's a wall that you cannot scale
E          C     G   F#*
so you're forced to burrow under

 G        E     C
When you're a charmer

 G        E  F  C
The world applauds

    G          F#    E
They don't know that secretly charmers

 D          C
Feel like they're frauds


 G        E    C
When you're a charmer

 G      E  F  C
You hate yourself

  G      F#         E
A victim of sideshow hypnosis

   D     C
Like everyone else


E       C       G     F#*
and then your thinking goes black and white
E       C      G  F#*
and you're all hunger and appetite
E     C     G   F#*
this is a battle you cannot fight
E    C  G     F#*
no, you only can surrender
E    C  G     F#*
no, you only can surrender
