This Side Of Morning

This Side Of Morning Del Amitri (Justin Currie)

This si another song of the album "waking Hours" by Del

Amitri (1989). It is one of my favourites. It has lovley

chord-progressions and nevertheless is easy to play.

2x D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A

D D6sus4 G A D

Nobody's perfect, and that's something

D6sus4 G A

that I'm sure she'll know

D D6sus4 G A

Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times

is like trying to divide ice from snow

D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4

And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi

And said "Guess were to go"

D D6sus4

And the driver turned about and said,

"Finding what you want is like

Trying to divide ice from snow"

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

D6sus4 G G9

That I never guessed

D D9sus4 D6sus4

But from this side of morning

G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A

I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.

D D6sus4 G A

Nobody's helpless, although

D D6sus4 G A

I've never felt this helpless before

D D6sus4 G A

And trying to persuade myself not to think about her

Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour

D D6sus4 G

And so I put down the bottle

A D D6sus4

While in my head time is collapsing

And the currents run cold

D D6sus4

So I can curse her memory

But don't try telling me that she was not

An emerald in a mountain of coal

Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer

At the end of the rainbow.

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

D6sus4 G G9

That I never guessed

D D9sus4 D6sus4

But from this side of morning

G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A

I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.

And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive

But will forget

So take my from this party, driver

put me back to bed

I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead

So if this taxi is for hire

I'll get in the back

G9 A A7 A6sus4 A

Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.

D D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A

D D6sus4 G A D

So nobody's perfect, and that's something that

D6sus4 G A

I'm sure she'll know

D D6sus4

And trying to persuade myself

Not to think about her is like

Trying to tell the crockels not to crow

Or like trying to tell the striker

Not to think about the goal.

So here I sit, rolling back to bed

Knowing love is a hazard

D6sus4 G G9

That I never guessed

D D9sus4 D6sus4

But from this side of morning

G A A7 A6sus4 A D D6sus4 G A

I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less.
