Brooke Fraser - Albertine

albertine
brook fraser

3rd capo

riff : Fmaj7 Am

verse 1 :
Fmaj7 Am
i Am sitting still , i think of angelique
Fmaj7 Am
her mothers voice over me , and the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
Fmaj7 Am
and on a thousandth hill , i think of albertine
Fmaj7 Am
there in her eyes what i don’t see with my eye oh

chorus :
Fmaj7 C G
rwanda , now that i have seen , i Am responsible
Dm
faith without deeds is dead
Fmaj7 C G Dm
now that i have held you in my own arms , i cannot let go till you are

verse 2 :
i Am on a plane across a distant sea , but i carry you in me
and in the dust on , the dust on , the dust on , the dust on , the dust on
the dust on my feet

chorus

interlude : Am Fmaj7 C

bridge :
Am Fmaj7 C
i will tell the world , i will tell them where i’ve been
Am Fmaj7 C
i will keep my word , i will tell them albertine

chorus

verse 3 :
Fmaj7 Am
i Am on a stage , a thousand eyes on me
Fmaj7 Am
i will tell them , albertine , i will tell them , albertine

the riff is played throughout the song except for the chorus and bridge .
the way i play with the riff and i think brooke does too is along with Fmaj7 ,
we play Am/C where we continuously open the 3rd string .
then to the Am where we do the same with the 3rd and 4th string .
and this is how i play some of the unconventional chords :
Am/C : x3221x Fmaj7 : x3321x

just to let you know this is how i interpret this song ,
but you could always tweak it your own way so it sounds good to you .
thanks .
