"This Could Be My Year" (words and music my Jacob Slichter)
Semisonic
from the album "Feeling Strangely Fine" (MCAD/11733)
Transcribed by Daniel Pike (dpike0@gtc.georgetown.ky.us)
Intro: D* A* Em G (4x)
* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string
on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open
until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording. This only
happens in the intro, though.
Verse:
D A
Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
Em G
And a Monday morning cry
A G
It's the tail that you keep chasing
A G
And it gets away every time
D A
New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
Em G
Another Zodiac's gone around
A G
While you drank yourself high on hoping
A G
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Pre-chorus:
F#
Counting down from ten it's time
Bm
To make your annual prayer
F#
Secret Santa in the sky
Bm E
When will I get my share
Chorus:
Em D
Then you tell yourself
A E
What you want to hear
Em G
Cause you have to believe
A D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
Verse:
D A
Pound your fist and cross it off your list
Em G
But you know you're not that strong
A G
When the man at the stop light catches you
A G
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
D A
Trash or the overnight smash that brings your
Em G
Ship crashing through the wall
A G
So you can make your grand departure
A G
From a world getting way too small
Pre-chorus:
F#
One wheel in the ditch another
Bm
Spinning in the air
F#
Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not
Bm E
Getting anywhere
Chorus:
Em D
Then you tell yourself
A E
What you want to hear
Em G
Cause you have to believe
A D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
Outro: D A Em G until end.
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 SEMISONIC 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.
