"The Songs That We Sing"
Charlotte Gainsbourg
I heard this song (again) one of these days and couldn't really find it tabbed, at least properly.
I think this more or less it.
Didn't tab the interlude towards the end because there isn't a much playable happening
Regular standard chords.
Only unusual but quite nice sounding chord is the D7sus2/F# - 200210
[intro]
Am D7sus2/F# 2x
[verse]
Am
I saw somebody who
Reminded me of you
F
Before you got afraid
C Bb Am
I wish that you could've stayed that way
[verse]
Am
I saw a little girl
I stopped and smiled at her
F
She screamed and ran away
C Bb Am
It happens to me more and more these days
[chorus]
Dm Am
And these songs that you sing
Dm Am
Do they mean anything
Dm F G
To the people you're singing them to
Am
People like you
[interlude]
Am D7sus2/F# 2x
[verse]
Am
I saw a photograph
F
A woman in a bath of hundred dollar bills
C Bb Am
If the cold doesn't kill her, money will
[verse]
Am
I read a magazine
That said by seventeen
F
Your life was at an end
C Bb Am
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content
[chorus]
Dm Am
And these songs that you sing
Dm Am
Do they mean anything
Dm F G
To the people you're singing them to
Am
People like you
[muted interlude (see comment above)]
[chorus ]
Dm Am
And these songs that you sing
Dm Am
Do they mean anything
Dm F G
To the people you're singing them to
Am
Tonight they do

Enjoy!
