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 were done
D G
When I fell into her sun
C D
All the other planets fell in line
Em A
At night when she came to bed
D G
I would hang my happy head
Em A D
Chorus: And say oh unlucky lady you are mine
G A Bm
Oh unlucky lady you are mine
G A D
Oh unlucky lady you are mine
Verse2: She gave me green planets and worlds
To hang around my neck like pearls
I lay on her bed with fruit and wine
Perfeectly satisfied
That I had found the luminous ride
Chorus: She said Oh I think Im slipping from your mind
G A Bm
No unlucky lady you are mine
G A D B
No unlucky lady you still shine
G A D
Bridge: Stars all around my head
G A D
Stars all around my head
G A
And she thinks shes slipping from the sky
Verse3: My looking days were done
We became like the earth and sun
All the marble planets fell in line
So tonight as we laid in bed
With my lips up near her head
Em A D B
Chorus: I said oh unlucky lady you are mine, oh
Bridge: Stars all around my head
Stars all around my head
G A D/C/G/ / /D/C/D
Chorus: Oh unlucky lady, you are mine
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.
