Guitar

The axe has been getting rusty of late, so I decided a transcription project would help me get back into the swing of things. I like this Sundays tune, whose delicacy is kept from being overly precious by a slightly irregular rhythm, the occasional spike of dissonance (e.g. the G7#5), and the cryptic but cynical-sounding lyrics (interpretation anyone?). The chords haven't been posted on the Internet as far as I can tell.

Chords to Sundays, "Skin & Bones," from Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic (1990).

Intro: F Fsus2 F G7#5

Stanza 1:
F Fsus2
you know, and I've been wondering
F G7#5
you know, all the way home
Bmaj7 C/F
whether the world will see
B F F9
I'm a better man than others by far

Stanza 2:
F Fsus2
you know, I've had it so good
F G7#5
how loathsome, and not quite my style
Bmaj7 C/F B F F9
work and vanity wasted my time inside
F Fmaj7/sus2
oh, you see me in a cardigan
F G7#5
and a dress, dress, dress that I've been sick on
Bmaj7 C/F
oh how are you
B F F7
can't say I really care at the end of it all

CHORUS:
F/B F/A F/G
actually, oh, well there's something I've found
F
it's that we're just flesh and blood
F/B F/A F/G
and well, now, just one thing I've found
F
it's that we're just flesh and blood

Stanza 3: per stanza 2

and you know, and I've been wondering
you know, all the way home
whether the world will see
I'm a better man than others by far

ooh how are you
I shan't say I really care at the end of it all

CHORUS:
actually oh, there is something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
well, now, there's one thing I've found
it's that we're just skin and bones
actually oh, there's something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and you're nothing much more
there's something, just something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and we're nothing much more
Cmaj7
oh no, what did I do wrong
individual doubts
just one thing I've found
we're just flesh and blood
nothing much more
something, just something I've found
Cmaj7
that we're skin and bones
yeah
