FROM: Chapmanjm@aol.com (John Chapman) UNLUCKY LADY (followed by note on THE SLACKS) from TRIP SHAKESPEARE off the album Across the Universe There are a couple of places where Im not totally sure, but this is close: Em A Verse1: My looking days ... D G When I fell ... C D All the other ... Em A At night when ... D G I would hang ... Em A D Chorus: And say oh unlucky ... G A Bm Oh unlucky lady ... G A D Oh unlucky lady you ...
Verse2: She gave me green planets... Chorus: She said Oh I think ... G A Bm No unlucky lady ... G A D B No unlucky ... G A D Bridge: Stars all ... G A D Stars all around ... G A And she thinks shes ... Verse3: My looking ... We became like the ... All the marble .... So tonight as ... With my lips ... Em A D B Chorus: I said oh unlucky .... Bridge: Stars all ... Stars all ... G A D/C/G/ / /D/C/D Chorus: Oh unlucky lady.... THE SLACKS (also from Across the Universe) Very simple - no point in creating a separate file: Verse and Chorus are all G / D / A Except that the final line of the chorus ("...we did a dance..") is Em / G / A In the very beginning when its all acoustic, it sounds like the chords are strummed at the base of the fretboard, and the D is played with the first finger barring the top four string on the 2nd fret, the 2nd finger on the B string fret 3, and the 3rd finger on the D string fret 4. This way, going from D to A involves just releasing fingers 2 and 3 and pulling the strings. You can hammer on with the two fingers to go back from A to D, and play with it a little to make each of the lines at the beginning of the song slightly different "D" "A" E|----2 ----0 B|----3 ----2 G|----2 ----2 D|----4 ----2 A|---- x ----x E|---- x ----x At the end of the chorus when they do Em/G/A, on the low E string play the notes E--F--G when going from Em to G.
