Au Cinéma by Lianne La Havas
Au Cinéma
Tuning: E A D G B E
NOTES:
Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...
VERSE:
Notes:
Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure.
An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7.
Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

[Verse]
Em9-Em7
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,
Gm7
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
Em9-Em7
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
Gm7
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,
A7 Gm7 A7
There's no pause, no re-wind
[Chorus]
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7 A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[Verse]
Em9-Em7
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
Gm7
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
Em9
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
Gm7
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
A7 Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
There's no pause, no re-wind; no pause, no re-wind
[Chorus] (x2)
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7 A7 Gm7 A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[Coda]
Em9-Em7
...Where the story goes...
Gm7
...With the curtains closed...
Em9-Em7
Watching ourselves au cinéma...
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah

Sometimes when your zork, hmm
And I'm your betty blue
And we're singing it close
Like, the girls in Melville rendezvous
I wish
That we
Could somehow freeze the frame
But this isn't the silver screen, no
There's no pause
No rewind
Time to find out how the story goes
Sat hip to hip with the curtains close
Watching ourselves au cinema
Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves au cinema
Cinema
Now we'll cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
And she's truly at home, home
Her step has only sprang
The big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes and her heart
Oh she thinks to look back
Back, she won't
There's no pause
No rewind
No pause
No rewind
Time to find out how the story goes
Sat hip to hip with the curtains close
Watching ourselves au cinema
Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves au cinema
Cinema
Time to find out how the story goes
Sat hip to hip with the curtains close
Watching ourselves au cinema
Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves au cinema
Au cinema
Where the story goes
As the curtains close, watching ourselves au cinema
Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves au cinema
Cinema
Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves au cinema
