Magnetic Fields - Busby Berkeley Dreams


Standard tuning

For every C chord, add a high G (high E string, 3rd fret with your pinky).  Also, if
you like, you can play G/C for the C chords -- it sounds nice. :)

G D/F# C

But you're in every song I know

G           D/F#      C
Whining and pining is wrong and so

   Am            G/B
On and so forth, of course of course,

But no, you can't have a divorce

Verse: 

G           D/F#          C
And now you want to leave me for good

C   G/B       D/A    
I refuse to believe you could

G      D/F#          C
You forget we're not made of wood

     Am              G/B
Well darling you may do your worst
