Au Cinema Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Notes:

Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure.

An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7.

Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

Guitar Figure 1

On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.

Chords:

 Sometimes when you Em9talkEm7, mm-hmm,

 And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it Gm7close

Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous

 I Em9wishEm7 that we could somehow freeze the frame

 But this isn't the Gm7silver-screen, oh no,

 There's no A7pause, Gm7no re-A7wind

Chorus

Notes:

The chords follow the same picking pattern as for the the VERSEs.

Chords:

Em9TimeEm7 to find out where the story goes,

Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

Gm7Watching ourselves au cinéma

Em9TakiEm7ng our positions as the cameras roll,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

Gm7Watching ourselves au cinéma, A7cinéma-ah

Verse

Chords:

 Now we cut to the Em9girlEm7, alone

She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge

 And she's truly at Gm7home,

Oh, her step has a whole new spring

 Big bright Em9lights of the city are shining for her

There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,

 'Though she thinks to look Gm7back, back, she won't...

 There's no A7pause, Gm7no re-A7wind; Gm7no A7pause, Gm7no re-A7wind

Chorus

Chords:

Em9TimeEm7 to find out where the story goes,

Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

Gm7Watching ourselves au cinéma, A7cin&Gm7eacutA7e;ma-ah
