Artist: Black
Song: Sweetest smile
Composer: Colin Vearncombe
Albums: Wonderful life / Abbey Road live
Tabbed by: DJ
23rd Feb 2014
CAPO: 4th fret (Sounds in the key of C#m)
In some later live concerts Colin Vearncombe played the song
a semi-tone lower, in Cm (Capo at the 3rd fret).
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Am = x02210 B7 = x21202
Asus2 = x02200 E7sus4 = 020200
Cmaj7/G = 332000 E7 = 020100
Fmaj7add6 = 103230 or xx3230 E4b9 = x23200
Abbey Road live acoustic version: In the middle sax break,
I think he just alternated between E (022100)and E4 (022200),
but I still like the E4b9, it sounds more like the original version.
He also missed out a lot of the repeat verses at the end,
and finished on an Am9 (x07500).

[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Cmaj7/G
I think my heart must be made of clay,
Fmaj7add6 Am
'Cause everyone said it would be broken some day,
Fmaj7add6 Am
And now I've come to that fateful day,
B7 E7sus4 E7
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands!
[Verse 2]
Am Asus2 Cmaj7/G
And don't tell me how to make it pay,
Fmaj7add6 Am
I write a new song--- every day----,
Fmaj7add6 Am

The sweetest smile that ever did melt the pats in the butter-dish,
Fmaj7add6 Am B7
And, if you could have be - lieved in me, well, I swear to God,
E7sus4 E7 Am Asus2
...I'd have made damn sure our hearts were warm,
Cmaj7/G Fmaj7add6 Am
And glad with wine, I'd keep the doors locked all the time,
Fmaj7add6 Am
I just wish I was made of wood,
B7 E7sus4 E7
You might not seem glad, ...even if you should...
