Cuckoo 1440

Babyshambles

Tom: C

This version is from Stokie + Jim Bumfest.

If you can manage to play this during the intro with the Am- and C-chords it will sound a bit better:

      Am                     C
e|-----0-------0---0----------0-------0--0-------------------|
B|-----1---------3---3---1----1---------3--3---1-------------|
G|-----2----------------------0------------------------------|
D|-----2----------------------2------------------------------|
A|-----0----------------------3------------------------------|
E|-----x----------------------x------------------------------|


or;

      Am                        C
e|-----0-------0---0-----0------0-------0--0----0--------------|
B|-----1---------3---3----------1---------3--3-----------------|
G|-----2------------------------0------------------------------|
D|-----2------------------------2------------------------------|
A|-----0------------------------3------------------------------|
E|-----x------------------------x------------------------------|



Am           C
We've got forever
         D                    Em
But you know that's not much time
            Am
For you to bring me the songs
    C                     D
And I'll pretend they're mine
Em               Am
I will make them mine

Am              C
You said you'd never
     D                Em
Let no one in on that lie
         Am
And I discovered the truth
   C             D
Oh I could just die
Em                 Am
Lay right down and die


(Reggae part)          G-Am = slide from G to Am


G-Am          G-Am
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh

  C        Am
Ooooh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah


G-Am          G-Am
Girl you come around sometimes

     C            Am
And give me your love
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah


G-Am                    G-Am
On tides, in ties, with lies, with pride

     C         Am
And help from above
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah


G-Am          G-Am
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh

  C        Am
Ooooh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah


G-Am               G-Am
Said girl you come around sometimes

     C           Am
And give me your love
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah


G-Am                  G-Am
All days long lost in song

     C                Am
All nights fall from above
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh oh yeah

******************************
I'm not 100% sure how to play it, but sometimes it sound better to play it like this;

Am           C
We've got forever
         D                    Em
But you know that's not much time
            Am
For you to bring me the songs
     C       D            Em
And I'll pretend they're mine
C       D         Em
I will make them mine

Am              C
You said you'd never
     D                Em
Let no one in on that lie
         Am
And I discovered the truth
C     D         Em
Oh I could just die
C          D       Em
Lay right down and die


Loads of Love!
