Davies ****************************************************************************** The key and the melody are quite tricky of this one, so I'll first give you the chords & fillers and then the melody with the beat. About the key, I pitched it with my keyboard against the record, so it seems indeed to be Eb minor. If you want to play it on a guitar, you might want to tune it down by half a note and just play it in E minor. Chords would then read like this Ebm --> Em, Abm --> Am, Bb --> B and F --> F# ****************************************************************************** (intro) Ebm 4 beats Ebm (RIFF 1) Tell me now, so I know Abm (RIFF 2) There are so many things that I could do Bb (RIFF 3) If you tell me now then I'd know what to do Ebm9 (RIFF 4) Tell me now, so I know Ebm (RIFF 1) Tell me now, so I know Abm (RIFF 2) There are so many things for me to say Bb (RIFF 3) Without your love I just couldn't live each day Ebm9 (RIFF 4) Tell me now, so I know Abm People tell me that you'll just drift away Ebm Oh, don't leave me. I need you more each day Bb You are my hope, my everything Ebm I live just for you. Abm I love you deeply but I guess it doesn't show Ebm I ache inside cause my lips can't let you know F4 Oh darling, please tell me the truth F7 Bb You know I live just for you. Ebm (RIFF 1) Tell me now, so I know Abm (RIFF 2) There are so many things that I could do Bb (RIFF 3) If you tell me now then I'd know what to do Ebm (RIFF 4) Tell me now, so I know. ****************************************************************************** Here come the riffs, well they are probably more of a filling. If you've tuned your guitar down, you will have to play them one fret higher. ****************************************************************************** RIFF 1 | RIFF 2 | RIFF 3 | | Beat / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | .. I could do |.. what to do | | E |------------ | |------------4------- | |------------------ B |--0--4-0---- | |--------------4----- | |------------3----- G |3--------3-- | |----------4-----4--- | |--------3-3---3-1- D |------------ | |------------------6- | |------------------ A |------------ | |-------------------- | |------------------ E |------------ | |-------------------- | |------------------ RIFF 4 Beat / / / / E |------------- B |------------- G |------------- D |----4--3-4-1- A |------------- E |------------- ***************************************************************************** So, and now for the melody, the base line has a rhythm like / / / / / Ba-a ba ba ba ba ba ba-a..., so give it a nice little swing but don't go overboard. If you have more than one note in a beat, just give it a bit of a bluesy twist. Beat ----> / / / ... Melody ----> Eb F Gb F ... Lyrics in syllables ----> Tell me now, so ... ***************************************************************************** / / / / / / / / Eb F Gb F Eb Eb Bb Tell me now, so I kno - ow / / / / / / / / Bb Bb Eb Db Cb Bb Cb Db Cb Bb Cb There are so - o ma - ny things that I could do / / / / / / / / Ab Ab Db Cb Bb Ab Bb Cb Bb A Bb If you tell me now then I'd know what to do / / / / / / / / F Gb Ab Gb Gb F Eb Tell me now, so I kno - ow / / / / / / / / Eb F Gb F Eb Eb Bb Tell me now, so I kno - ow / / / / / / / / Bb Bb Eb Db Cb Bb Cb Db Cb Bb Cb There are so - o ma - ny things for me to say / / / / / / / / Ab Ab Ab Db Cb Bb Ab Bb Cb Bb A Bb With - out your lo - ove I just could -n't live each day / / / / / / / / F Gb Ab Gb Gb F Eb Tell me now, so I kno - ow / / / / / / / / Eb F Gb Ab Bb Cb Cb Cb Bb Cb Peo - ple tell me that you'll just drift a - way / / / / / / / / Cb Db Eb Db Cb Bb Cb Bb A Bb Oh, don't leave me.
