Other End of the Telescope (Til Tuesday)
---------------------------------------
This is on Til Tuesday's 3rd album, 'Everything's Different Now'. Written by
Aimee Mann and Declan McManus/Elvis Costello, Aimee still plays this in her
live set. The below is written as though played in E (at the nut). On the
album, it's in Eb (Eb transposition at the bottom of the page).

Possible alternative to the 3rd line of the bridge is :

. . . but I think the first one sounds
closest.
Transposed to Eb: The album's in Eb, which either means putting a capo at 11th
fret (yuk), or playing it with a capo at the first fret and substituting the
chord shapes written above as follows:
Chord in E SHAPE in Eb
(above) (capo @ 1)
E D
F#m Em
G#m F#m
A G
B A
C#m Bm
. . . but I prefer to play it in 'E'! If nothing else, it's fun to run down A
G#m F#m E (5th, 4th, 2nd, 0th frets) at the end of the chorus. Any
improvements welcome.
