Subject: tab for 'Wendy under the Stars' (Odds)
Greetings fellow Odds fans! Here's my transcription to 'Wendy Under the Stars':
"Wendy Under the Stars" - By the Odds. Written by Steven Drake. Taken from
the album 'Neopolitan'. All songs published by Virgin Music.
***all chords standard 'folk' positions. No barre chords. Use an electric
(one or two), clean, although it gets crunchy later in the song.
Intro: G G/C [the G/C is made by keeping the G root but adding E(2nd fret
D-string) and C(1st fret B-string)]
Verses: Em F Em F D C D C / Em F Am G D C Em F
Chorus: G Em F G G/C G G/C
***And that's it! Just go in this order: intro, verse 1, chorus, verse 2,
chorus, verse 3, chorus (outro).
The lyrics are:
I was sitting there watching TV
Wendy came and sat on my knee
She put her finger in my ear
But I pulled it out so I could hear
What the newsman on the television said
He said the king of rock & roll was dead
And in the spooky television light
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus: I was fucking Wendy under the stars, the night that Elvis died
As walked across the dew wet field
I never ever thought she would yield
To my young body's aching desire
For an older woman's well banked fire
By the left hand I was led
To the place that we would make our bed
And embracing in the blue moonlight
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
She was 31, I was 17
I found out then what passion could mean
I thought I loved her but I didn't know how
I don't love her when I see her know
With the tape deck turned up loud
She made a young man strong and proud
And in the coolness of the morning light
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
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 ODDS 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.
