late night , maudlin street chords
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
the verse pattern alternates the root notes twice , for example ,
in [ C , Cmaj7 ] you play C in first fret , second string ( strum )
and then play it open ( strum )
– you do this twice and switch to :
[ G , G/F# ] where you play G on the first string ,
third fret ( strum ) and then play F# on the second fret ( strum ) – twice again .
you may also play A G7 before returning to the E
on the chorus before returning to the verse , the F note
first string adds a nice effect .
the last bars of the song are mostly
guitar effects and so i tried to fit
in some chords that you can use over
them , but it’s not very accurate . . . if
all else fails you can fade with the
verse . the song sounds quite nice on
acoustic , with a gentle singing tone .
it is a phenomenal song , it should
prove morrissey’s excellence as an artist .

i had sixteen stitches

all around my head
Em Bm7
oh , the last bus i missed to maudlin street
D Em
so he drove me home in the van
Em Bm7 D6 E ( G7 , E )
complaining , “women only like me for my mind . . . ”
C , camj7
don’t leave your torch behind
G , G/F#
a power cut ahead; 1972 , you know
C , Cmaj7
and so we crept through the park
G , G/F#
no , i cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline
for you
Em Bm7
but you . . . without clothes
D Em
oh , i could not keep a straight face
Em Bm7
me – without clothes ?
D6 E ( G7 , E )
well , a nation turns its back and gags . . .
E
i’m packed
C , Cmaj7
i Am moving house
G , G/F#
a half – life disappears today
C , Cmaj7
with “every hag waves me on”
G , G/F#
( secretly wishing me gone )
well , i will be soon
D E
ooh , i will be soon
D E
i will be soon

D Em
they took you away in a police car
Em
inspector – don’t you know ?
Bm7

D6 E ( G7 , E )
don’t you know – about love ?
C , Cmaj7
your gran died
and your mother died
G , G/F#
on maudlin street
C , Cmaj7
in pain , and ashamed
with never time to say
G , G/F#
those special things . . . oh
Em Bm7
i took the key from maudlin street
D Em
well , it’s only bricks and mortar !
Em Bm7 D6 E ( G7 , E )
