No Myth

Someone recently requested this, so here's my version:

"No Myth" by Michael Penn transcribed by MH from the album "March"

---------------------------

Notes:

** I think one of the chords in the chorus is Dm played

at the fifth fret (557765).

*** I think MP says "on hashish" instead of "overseas"

 

So, she says it's time she goes

but wanted to be sure I know

she hopes we can be friends

I think, yeah, I guess we can say I

but didn't think to ask her why

she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains

with knots I've got yet to untie...

what if I were Romeo in black jeans

what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

D/F# F Dm** Dm C Am C Am

maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with

See, it was just too soon to tell

and looking for some parallel

can be an endless game

We, we said goodbye before hello

my secrets she will never know

and if I dig a hole to China

I'll catch the first junk to Soho

chorus again

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure

some things in life you cannot measure by degrees

I'm between the poles and the equator

don't send no private investigator to find me please

'less he speaks Chinese

and can dance like Astaire on hashish***

instrumental chorus

chorus with only backing vocals

chorus with all vocals

instrumental (second half of verse)

rhythm section only: fade-out
