Notes concerning chord shapes at the bottom of the page.

Intro:

C
C

C
G

Verse 1:
C
All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
C
You  came along just then
C
You gave me crazy love and you whispered,
G
"You got a bottle and nobody that your missin'."

C
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
C
You said, "Don't get excited, but take cover"
C
We stepped into the light to pictures of each other
G
Some were in black and white, the others were in color

Chorus:
  C
Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head
   Am
we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere
  C
and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead
Am
now it must seem pretty clear
     G
That I love you.  Yes, I do.

(repeat intro and verse 1, lyrics are the same, sing one octave higher)

Break:
G
(repeat x8)

Chorus (2x as fast as previously played)
C
Am
C
Am

  C
Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head
   Am
we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere
  C
and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead
Am
now it must seem pretty clear
     G
That I love you.

*  Fadd11 is used as a passing tone, hammer your pink onto an A# and then
immediately release back into F Chord shape for Fadd11 is simply
-1-
-1-
-3-
-3-
-0-
---

** the D5 of the break is used as a passing tone, just release your fingers from
the C/G shape and pick the A and D strings.  Part is so fast that it won't be
noticable and sounds correct in the context.


Note concerning chord shapes:
As with many of Folk musicians, Langhorne Slim uses a slight variation in chord
shapes. The chords will usually feel like they are shaped like C, that is:
-0-
-1-
-0-
-2-
-3-
-0-

To form an F Chord, all you would have to do would be to move your 2 fingers from
the D and A Strings to the G and D strings, and mute (or don't play) the E
strings. So F would then be formed like this:
---
-1-
-2-
-3-
-0-
---

similarly, G would be played like this:
-3-
-0-
-0-
-0-
-2-
-3-

Note that your pinky is on the high G.

Another note is that for this song, Langhorne plays C with the added 5th, so just
keep your pinky like its playing G and your good to go.

The final chord of this song is C/G, the G is the lower G, not the higher one, so
the chord would be:
-0-
-1-
-0-
-2-
-3-
-3-

Forming these chords is far easier then explaining how to :], but I hope this
helped some people who are new to folk chord shapes.
