Shades Of Cool by Lana Del Rey
Shades Of Cool
Tuning: standard
Key: Dm
Loving the James Bond-esque chromaticism in during the verse,
the close harmony and big reverb give the tune that mysterious edge!
Note for any of you people who write your own songs, a little lesson for you!:
| G Gm Arp |
|And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you|
Going to chord IV in any key, playing the major so in Dm we go to 'G' then make the same
chord minor 'Gm' is a tried and tested technique used in thousands of songs...It's super effective.

He calls for me, not for you
He lives for love, he loves his drugs

But I can't fix him, can't make him better

I can't break through your world
