Hey, here's the Super Furries' take on early 60's Phil Spector pop. As always, it's
stuff - I especially love the cheeky "banking details" line - textbook Furries! :o)
Intro:
/ B / B / B / B /
"(This song is based on a true story. Which would be fine,if it wasn't autobiographical)"
Verse 1:
/ B / D#m / G#m / E /
/ B / D#m / G#m / E /
/ B / D#m / G#m / C#7 /
"I could have told you why. It would have made me cry, a little.
I could have told you lies. It would have made me die, a little.
I could have told you anything, except the truth which burns my middle".
Chorus 1:
/ B / D#m / G#m / E /
/ B / D#m / G#m / E /
/ Em / B / B /
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/super_furry_animals/run_away_crd.html ]
"-|Ru-u-u-u-un aw-ay-ay. That's what I did to-day-ay.
--| Ru-u-u-u-un aw-ay-ay. There's nothing that I could have sa-aid.
But cry a little".
Verse 2:
Same 12 bars as Verse 1
"You found another love, someone to wipe away your tears.
I left it all behind of me, never to turn and face my fears.
We may have fought with teeth and nails, I still recall your banking details".
Chorus 2:
The first 8 bars mirror those of Chorus 1 (lyrics & chords), then:
/ B / D#m / G#m / C#7 / C#7 /
"Those that cry and run away-ay, live to cry another da-ay".
Chorus 3:
The first eight bars of Chorus 1 again (lyrics & chords)
Outro:
The song goes up a key:
/ C# / Fm / A#m / F# /
/ C# / Fm / A#m / F# /
/ F#m / C# / F#m / C# /
/ F#m / F#m / C#
"-|Ru-u-u-u-un aw-ay-ay. That's what I did to-day-ay.
--| Ru-u-u-u-un aw-ay-ay. There's nothing that I could have sa-aid.
But cry, a little.
Lie, a little.
Die, just a little".
Cheers, enjoy! SFA, ok!!
