Dirty Magazine (CHORDS) by Joe Henry
[Intro]~
C#m D Dmaj7 A F#m E
[Verse]~
C#m
A cut-out picture of a sugar tart
D
With olive skin,.. a purple heart,..
A
Concrete shoes,.. and it's just the start
F#m E
Of bigger things unseen!
C#m
Heroes of our glory days
D
Ride upon the hip-hoorays
A
Of hometown girls who've been displayed
E A
In dirty magazines!
[Chorus]~
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you..?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I've heard before
A E F#m
Like it was news,.. Like it was news
[Verse]~
C#m
The miners strike,.. hold out for love
D
We bust their heads,.. push and shove,..
A
By helmet light,.. we rise above
F#m E
And say,.. "look out below!"
C#m
They're such a grim,.. romantic crew,..
D
Swear they won't forget but do,..
A
It leaves them free to cry anew
E A
At every song we know!
[Chorus]~
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you..?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I want to hear
A E F#m
Like it was true,.. Like it was true
[Verse]~
C#m
Sometimes I wish that I was king
D
And held the end of every string,..
A
The fear,.. the prize,.. the mortal sting
F#m E
Of what will come of this!
C#m
For now I'll let all chance unwind
D
To keep our secret hearts entwined,..
A
And if I choose to see this as a sign
E A
It surely is!
[Chorus]~
E F#m
"And what am I supposed to do with you..?"
E F#m D
Just tell me everything I've heard before
A E F#m
Like it was news,.. Like it was news
