Song: You and the Mona Lisa
by:   Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal
CD:   A Few Small Repairs
From: Andrew Lyon

The song starts in the key of G, and modulates up a minor third to the key
of Bb for the chorus.

I have transcribed this for three guitars;

1) The open tuning of C7/9 as follows;
E B D G C E

Em 		- xx2020		Bb	- xxx321
Dsus2/sus4	- xxx020		Eb	- xxx876
C		- xx2000		Gm7	- xx3323
Bm		- xx0422		F	- xxx555


2) An altered tuning where the 6th string is tuned up to G;
G A D G B E

Em		- 079xxx		Bb6		- 013xxx
Dsus4		- 057xxx		Eb		- 068xxx
C		- 035xxx		Gm7 (no 3rd)- 053xxx
Bm7 (no 3rd)- 224xxx 		F 		- 233xxx


3)  Standard tuning.

Em              Dsus2
Hold me down to anything
C                 Bm7
Anything that you see
Em              Dsus2    C     Bm7
I should walk away right now
Em                Dsus2
I'll be there, so never mind
C                  Bm7
I'll be the one to fall
Em          Dsus2             C  Bm7
Waiting for you to look up at me

Bb
Oh I love you the most
       Eb
Always giving up the ghost
        Gm7                F
In your own private conversation
         Bb
You're a sweet mystery
         Eb
There is nothing in between
Gm7              F
You and the Mona Lisa

Em  Dsus2  C  Bm7

Em            Dsus2
Nothing in particular
C                    Bm7
And everything in between
Em               Dsus2   C   Bm7
This is what you mean to me
Em           Dsus2
Only you and only me
C                       Bm7
Climbing in the right direction
Em            Dsus2 C    Bm7
On the way to everything

        Bb
We were walking up high
    Eb
And no one thought to try
    Gm7              F
But I was the one to blame
       Bb
It was just a mirage
     Eb
So I hid in the garage
          Gm7              F
Until somebody called your name

Solo

Bb
Oh I love you the most
       Eb
Always giving up the ghost
        Gm7                F
In your own private conversation
         Bb
You're a sweet mystery
         Eb
There is nothing in between
Gm7              F
You and the Mona Lisa

Em  Dsus2  C  Bm7
Em  Dsus2  C  Bm7

Em          Dsus2
Nothing in particular
     C                Bm7
Just you and the Mona Lisa....
