Cornerstone

i should note before this that this is not my work , credit should go to ’mellon_c’ of official arctic monkeys forum , i’m simply posting it here to share with a wider audience , i did was fit music to lyrics . it’s also not my responsibility if you don’t have the it leaked a few days ago and you can probably still find it about on various sites . guitar 1 ( alex turner ) Intro A Verse 1 A i thought i saw you in the battleship D Bm but it was only a look - A - like A she was nothing but a vision trick D Bm under the warning light F#m A F#m she was close , close enough to be your ghost A but my chances turned to toast D Bm A when i asked her if i could call her your name Verse 1 [ cont ] ( same pattern ) i thought i saw you in the rusty hook huddled up in a wicker chair i wandered over for a closer look and kissed who ever was sitting there she was close , and she held me very tightly ’til i asked awfully politely , please can i call you her name ( to transition into the Chorus you can continue playing a then F#m ) Chorus D Bm and i elongated my lift home , F#m D yeah , i let him go the long way ’round Bm i smelt your scent on the seatbelt E and kept my shortcuts to myself A D Bm ( come in with a at the end of the Chorus and play these chords like in the Verse ) Verse 2 ( same pattern ) A i thought i saw you in the parrots beak , D Bm messing with the smoke alarm , A it was too loud for me to hear her speak , D Bm and she had a broken arm , F#m A F#m it was close , so close that the walls were wet A and she wrote it out in letra - set D Bm C#m no , you can’t call me her name Bridge A C#m tell me where’s your hiding place A C#m i’m worried i’ll forget your face F#m and i’ve asked everyone Bm E i’m beginning to think i imagined you all along Chorus D Bm and i elongated my lift home , F#m D yeah , i let him go the long way ’round Bm i smelt your scent on the seatbelt Dm and kept my shortcuts to myself Solo A D Bm x2 ( play this like you would in the Verse ) F#m Bm D E Verse 3 A i saw your sister in the cornerstone D Bm on the phone to the middle man A when i saw that she was on her own D Bm i thought she might understand F#m A she was close , well you couldn’t get much closer F#m A D she said i’m really not supposed to but yes , A you can call me anything you want fade out . you may want to work out strumming and timing for yourself especially in the Bridge and where it gets a bit different . it’s overall a pretty simple song from the new album . tabbed by robert farrell 28 july 2009 . version 1 . 0
