Lady Gaga's 2010 acoustic version of Telephone on the Brit Awards.
This is only the piano half of the performance.
Telephone Acoustic:
Intro: G
D
Hello, hello, baby you called
F#m
I can't hear a thing
Gbdim/C G
I have got no service in the club, you say, you say
D
What-wa-oh did you say
F#m
You're breaking up on me
Gbdim/C
Sorry I cannot hear you
G
We miss you so badly
-----------------------------------------------------------
"This is for Alexander Mcqueen"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Play loud:
D
Stop calling, stop calling
F#m
I don't want to think anymore-uh-ore
Gbdim/C G
I've got my head and my heart on the dance floor
D
Stop calling, stop you calling
F#m
I don't want to talk anymore
Gbdim/C G
I've got my head and my heart on the dance floor
-----------------------------------------------------------
D F#m
It's not that I don't like you, I'm just trying to pass the time
Gbdim/C G
Going through my closet's fun and clothes like poets rhyme
D F#m
Or maybe I'll just take the train to Marbel Arch and then
Gbdim/C
I just wont get off at all
G
I'll keep myself moving, keep moving
-----------------------------------------------------------
D
Stop calling, stop calling
F#m
I don't want to think anymore-uh-ore
Gbdim/C G
I've got my head and my heart on the dance floor
D
Stop calling, stop you calling
F#m
I don't want to talk anymore
Gbdim/C G
I've got my head and my heart on the dance floor
-----------------------------------------------------------
I can be a - a - a... free... Bi- etc.
If you really want to play that bit. I'm sure someone will have posted the chords for
"Dance in the Dark".
-----------------------------------------------------------
The trick to playing lady gaga's acoustic songs is to be loose. Don't stick to the words
and chords. Maybe add a solo in the middle somewhere (you know the chords D, F#m,
Gbdim/C and G - easy!).
That's what's fun about playing them too. I mean, of course you have to play them a
little like her, but it's not as though your reading Beethoven from sheet music. You can do
whatever you want with her songs. :D
Enjoy.
