this masterpiece, surprisingly enough is unreleased. it was recorded for "One Hand
Clapping", the unreleased documentary about PM & Wings and it was recorded in 1974 in
demo form for Frank Sinatra. A short version was also recorded during the "Get Back"
sessions. A snippet is availible on "McCartney" under the title "Glasses" and a version
is availible on the unreleased DVD and on the bootleg album "Good Times Comin'" did i
miss anything? anyway...
Paul McCartney
Suicide
(McCartney)
(INTRO):
C Em
Girls it's been my pleasure
G Dm7 C
To know quite a lot of you
Dm7
And in the main
C
You're pretty sane, it's true
Dm7
But there are a few who do
C
The duty to do too beautiful a job
Dm7 C
It isn't quite what they planned
Dm7 C
The man gets the upper hand
Dm7 C
He's takin' her for a ride
Dm7 C
I call it... Suicide
(VERSE 1):
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/paul_mccartney/suicide_crd.html ]
C Dm7 Em
If when she tries to run away
G C
And he calls her back, she comes
C Dm7 Em
If there's a next time, he's ok
G C
Cause she's under both his thumbs
Em Dm7
She limps along to his side
G
Singing a song of ruined life
(CHORUS):
C Dm7
Daddy says nothin' doin'
Dm7 C
Ah---
G C
I call it... Suicide
(VERSE 2):
C Dm7 Em
She loves to ride in big parades
G C
But he wouldn't so she won't
C Dm7 Em
She needs at least a dozen lays
G C
But if he says no she don't
Em Dm7
He wishes she knew his sign
G
Soon there'll be trouble brewin' ah---
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE):
C Em Dm7 G
Suicide, she's commitin' it
C Em Dm7 G
Suicide, he's not gettin' it
C Em Dm7 G C
Suicide, it's a quittin' a day
(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE W/WORDLESS VOCAL)
Em Dm7
She limps along to his side
G
Singing a song of ruined life
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
