Darling Be Home Soon by Slade (as on Slade Alive!)
Written by John Sebastian
Tabbed by CJWilky
If you play Capo on 7 and transpose this tab down 7, you can avoid barre chords, though that makes
the sus2 and sus4 more tricky.
In several places the A flips in and out of A7 with and without the top G note.
Similarly, D goes to Dsus2 and Dsus4 more than I've put here.
No Capo
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D A
Come and talk of all the things we did today
D A
Hear and laugh about our funny little ways
D Bm A
For we have a few minutes to breathe
D Bm A
And I know that it's time you must leave
[Chorus]
C D
So darling be home soon
C D A A7
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
C D
My darling be home soon
C D A A7
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting since you toddled
D Bm A
For the great relief of having you to talk to
[Verse 2]
D A
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
D A
I, I think I've come to see myself at last
D Bm A
And I know that the time spent confused
D Bm A
Was the time that I spent without you
D A Bm E7
And I feel myself in blues
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4 D
But darling be home soon
C D A A7
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
C D Dsus4 D
My darling be home soon
C D A A7
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting since you toddled
D Bm A
For the great relief of having you to talk to
[Guitar solo break]
D A (x2)
D Dmaj9 Bm Dmaj9 A
[Interlude]
A
BURP!
[Verse 3]
A D A
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
D A
Try to see beyond the houses in your eyes
D Bm E7
It's okay to shoot the moon
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D
My darling be home soon
A A7
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
D
My darling be home soon
A A7
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting since you've toddled
D Bm A
For the great relief of having you to talk to
[Outro]
D A Bm Bm A
