Blackfield – Christenings
tabbed by the Dinzman and brot
E C x2
E C
I met you in a record store
E C
You had slept in the clothes you wore
Bm C
But I knew I'd seen you somewhere before
E C
What happened to your guitar?
E C
And what happened to the prettiest star?
Bm C
Can you still play the songs that got you so far?
Bridge:
Am C#m G# G#
C Em
Hey you, with your shadow in the gutter
Bb F
How low have you got to go before you're through
C Em
High times, a butler in the morning
Bb F Fm G
All your memories are coming out of your shoes
C Em
Black dog, sitting in the park
Bb F
Odd looks from the mothers of the devil's own
C Em
Shoplifting, getting your essentials
Bb F Fm
Gate crashing, christenings and funerals...
G Am C#m G# G#
...And weddings too.
E C
I used to see you all the time on MTV
E C
Read your life story in a magazine
Bm C
I guess you thought thats the way it will always be.
E (Riff 2) C
But I believe in you
E C
Cause I think that you'd want me to
Bm C
Though I never really liked your songs, its true
