14Th Street by Rufus Wainwright
14Th Street
G B7 Em
You've got my lost brother's soul
C+7
My dear mother's eyes
A7
A brown horse's mane
G G7 D7
And my uncle's name
G B7 Em
You walked me down 14th Street
C+7 A7
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
G D7 G
In the home of the brave and of the weak
G C
But why'd you have to break all my heart
G D D7
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
G C
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
G D7
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?
Em Em/D Em/Db Em/C Em/B /Db /D /Eb
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Em Em/D EmDb Em/C D
Damn you guess I'll have to get a new one
I'd love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.
But why'd you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver
G C+7
Don't ever change, don't ever worry
DbDim G
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
G C+7
To 14th Street where I won't hurry
DbDim G
And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow
Am B7
And they'll be rainbows and we will finally know
Now run down chromatically from G (single notes) for 1 octave and start the progression for the verse

version 2
Time: shuffled 4/4
Key: Ab major
Capo on 1st fret
Ab major isn't really a suitable key for guitar, but by using a capo on the
1st fret you can play as if the song was in G major, which is absolutely the
most suitable for key for guitar. This tab is actually done in G major then,
but after the lyrics I've added the chords in the actual key, Ab major.

Lyrics:
You've got my lost brother's soul
My dear mother's eyes
A brown horse's mane
And my uncle's name
You walked me down 14th Street
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave and of the weak
But why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn, you guess I'll have to get a new one
I'd love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world
Gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change, you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds
But why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there are hearts that will deliver
Don't ever change
Don't ever worry
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street where I won't hurry
And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow
And they'll be rainbows
And we will finally know
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a minor part of it?
