Subject: CRD Everything But the Girl "25th of December"
Here's "25th of December" by the vastly underrated duo of
Everything But the Girl off their "Amplified Heart" CD. Only a
handful of chords but a beautiful song. On the B and F# I have
written some chords next to them also - sometimes Ben uses these
instead of the full bar. Also, try adding on an F# on the high E
string on the E chord. Listen to the song to get the phrasing
right - sometimes he sings fast and overruns the melody.
Chords B 799877 799800
F# 244322 244300
E 022100
C#m x46600
Intro B F# E
B F#
And I see forest Its the 25th of December
E
And my old man plays the piano for Christmas
B F# E
He plays the piano for Christmas
B F#
And we're all there, all the Aunties and Uncles
E
And the angel on top of the tree
B F# E
Up there on top of the tree
B F# E
And I never, no I never ever realised
B F# E
And I never, no I never ever realised
*same*
Have I enough time Have I just enough time
To revisit, to go back, to return
To open my mouth again
And say something different this time
And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport
and you're a grown up and still unsure
And I'm thirty and I don't know nothing anymore
And I never, no I never ever realised
And I never, no I never ever realised
*solo*
C#m E B
C#m E B
C#m E (hold)
*same as other verses*
And I'm sitting, sitting at the top of the stairs
And you're crying out by the towpath but the river
With all the swans and people walking by
And all of a sudden I'm struck with an urge to
Unlock a door with a key thats too big for my hands
and I drop it and it falls at your feet
Come on, come on its there at your feet
B F# E
And I never, no I never ever realised
E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
B F#
And I never, no I never ever realised
E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
