I Feel Tender Demo

City At Night Demo

Cameo Demo

_____Bootlegger_____


The story of The Great Gatsby, and his extravagant lifestyle. Very Ska-driven style. Lots of skittish lead guitar and open chords. Think Johnny Marr's style.

Inspiration for this song: Bigmouth Strikes Again | The Smiths

Lyrics

Intro (Riff)__
[Riff -A, FM7]

Verse 1__
[F#7sus2, Bsus2add4] x2

He only wanted everything,
But he was sure to be the begger,
Sitting around in the flowers of eir,
He was just a poor Bootlegger

They would come from everywhere,
Expect from the East and West,
Bootlegger was never there,
Always trying to be his best

[G#m, A, B, B, G#, A, E, E ] - Open B and E strings throughout

The Green Light....
That Old Sport....

Verse 2__
[F#7sus2, Bsus2add4] x2

He was alright in the end,
lying around by the pool,
She wasn't one to care too much,
Especially about that old fool

Drugged on love, he overdosed,
She would be his first and last,
Crashed his boat agaisnt the waves,
Ceaselessly into the past,

Verse__
[Same as Intro chords] x2

The rain gets in our eyes, - Vocals stay on D
People run inside,
The mast on Winter Hill,
Even feels the chill

And then the clouds will part, - Higher Vocal register kicks in
Nature's work of art,
We'll pass the city gate,
And run 'till our hearts' ache

Chorus__
[Bm11, Cadd9, C#m7b9, [Dadd9, G#dimb6, Cadd9]] – Last Bar is 3/4

See when you're Northbound,
It's kinda bittersweet,
It's a love, hate thing,
It's like playing with the band on the off-beat

[D9/F#]

Shortened Verse__

So take a trip with me,
Down the Family Tree,
Rooted in their ways, - Higher register
Stuck in 'Yesterdays',

Chorus__ - Different lyrics on this Chorus for variety 

See when you're Northbound,
It's kind of a drag,
It's a love, hate thing,
It's like living your life on a lillypad

Instrumental__ - Guitar solo over Chorus chords

Bridge__ - Single Strum
[Bm7, Gm6, F#m7b13, DM7] x2 – Builds up 2nd time round

Pack your bags and leave young man,
This town has taught you all it can,
A broken record won't do much,
So tell your friends you'll be in touch

Bridge 2__
[D9/F#, G, Em7, A7] x4 – Builds up more each repeat

We'll leave tomorrow and we won't be discrete,
But on the way out, we'll keep the receipt – x3
We'll leave tomorrow and we won't be discrete,
But on the way out, But on the way out.....

Altered Chorus__
[D9/F#, G, Em7, A7] x3

See when you're Northbound,
It's kinda bittersweet,
It's a love, hate thing,
It's like playing with the band on the off-beat
See when you're Northbound,
It's kind of a drag,
It's a love, hate thing,
It's like living your life on a Lilly pad
See when you're Northbound,
It's kinda bittersweet,
It's a love, hate thing,
It's like playing with the band on the off-beat

 Original Chorus__ - Soft and single strum

See when you're Northbound,
It's kinda bittersweet,
It's a love, hate thing,
[Bm11, Cadd9, C#m7b9]

Outro__
[[Dadd9, G#dimb6, Cadd9], D9/F#] x3 – Tempo gradually drops

It's like playing with the band on the off-beat – 6/4 
It's like losing your way down the wrong street,
It's like wearing your shoes on the wrong feet
