Postcards Of Scarborough by Michael Chapman
Postcards Of Scarborough
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
F6 [1 x 3 2 3 1]
Theres a little twiddle on the D chord at the ends of the
verses, indicated by the D6/4 below. Listen to the records
to get the timing but you just switch between a normal D
and
D6 [x 0 0 2 3 3] and D4 [x 0 0 2 3 0]
Intro - I'm not going to attempt to transcribe Michael's
finger-picking Intro. It's starts out as the chords of
the verse after that you're on your own ;-) In the verse
you need to flat-pick out the bass run G, F#, F, E from
the first 4 chords.
G D F6 E
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
Am C D D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G C D D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G D F6 E
I went down to the harbour just to catch a bite to eat
Am C D D6/4
Boats along the quayside and seagulls round my feet
G C D D6/4
Remind me of when we were there together
Em Bm
The food was so tasteless
Em Bm
And the wine was so stale
Em Bm
I looked in the mirror
Em D6/4
And my face was so pale
G C D D6/4
Not like when we were there together
G D F6 E
I took a walk up to Paradise like we did before
Am C D D6/4
But there's nothing there like Paradise to me anymore
G C D D6/4
Not since we've been there together
G D F6 E
I sleep in the same room and the walls they are so white
Am C D D6/4
But there's nothing there to warm me in the cool of the night
G C D D6/4
Not like when we were here together.
Em Bm
The food it is so tasteless
Em Bm
And the wine is so stale
Em Bm
I look in the mirror
Em D6/4
And my face is so pale
G C D D6/4
Not like when we here there together
G D F6 E
Two postcards of Scarborough just to keep in my mind
Am C D D6/4
To hide away up there and help me remind
G C D D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G C D D6/4
Myself of time past and time passing
G C D D6/4
time past and time passing
G C D D6/4
G C D Em
time passing
[Note the chords on "The food is tasteless" sections are not
what's on the records, they should be Am + Em instead of Bm + Em]
