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
