Cornerstone Chords & Tabs
Tuning: Standard
This is the capo version of Cornerstone chords by Robert Farell that was submitted
by MyNameIsRamone.
Thanks a lot you two for making and submitting this tab here.
I think it would be a lot easier for some novice player to play this song without
the bar chords :) so i made the capo version of it.
But i’m still can’t figure how to play Dm while placing your capo on 2nd fret so i
guess you still have to play the chord like this:
Dm: 556645
here we go.....
{CAPO ON 2nd FRET}
Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)
Intro
G
Verse 1
G
I thought I saw you in the battleship
C Am
but it was only a look-a-like
G
She was nothing but a vision trick
C Am
Under the warning light
Em G Em
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
G
But my chances turned to toast
C Am G (Em G Em)
When i asked her if i could call her your name
G
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
C Am
Huddled up in a wicker chair
G
I wandered over for a closer look
C Am
And kissed who ever was sitting there
Em G E
She was close, and she held me very tightly
G
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
C Am G
Can I call you her name.
(To transition into the chorus play this; G Em G Em Em, listen out for the strumming)

Chorus
C Am
And I elongated my lift home,
Em C
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Am
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Em
And kept my shortcuts to myself
G C Em (Come in with G at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
G
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
C Am
Messing with the smoke alarm,
G
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
C Am
And she had a broken arm,
Em G Em
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
G
And she wrote it out in letra-set
C Am Bm
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge
G Bm
Tell me where's your hiding place
G Bm
I'm worried I'll forget your face
Em
And I've asked everyone
Am Em
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
Chorus
C Am
And I elongated my lift home,
Em C
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Am
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Dm
And kept my shortcuts to myself
Solo
G C Am x2 (Play this like you would in the verse)
Em Am
C Em
Verse 3
G
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
C Am
On the phone to the middle man
G
When I saw that she was on her own
C Am
I thought she might understand
Em G
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
Em G C
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
Am G
You can call me anything you want.
Fade out.
