SOUVENIR (Neil Finn) NOTES: -- I've supplied two different versions of the intro (which is the same thing played on the verses); the first version is an easier way to go, though the voicings are not as accurate as Version 2. The problem is that version 2 relies on the higher strings, giving you very little bass to work with -- and this is a pretty bass-heavy song. -- This is one of those songs on the album that doesn't work particularly well as an acoustic guitar song. -- The riff is pretty much identical all through the song. * UNUSUAL CHORDS E XX2100 (diff. from usual fingering) XX0100 F#m XX4222 (diff. from usual fingering) / X42422 RIFF: -----------------------|| -----------------------|| -11>9--------11>9------|| -------9---------------|| ------------------12---|| -----------------------|| INTRO/VERSE, version 1: E F#m INTRO/VERSE, version 2: * * * VERSE: () Don't ask the question () cos you won't like the answer () get up off your chair there's nothing for you here CHORUS: Where the guests like souvenirs they play with you til you're all worn out () back there the guests like souvenirs VERSE: Prison colour blue it's a uniform of choice count yourself lucky and you don't write the software CHORUS: and the guests like souvenirs they play with you till you're all worn out back where the guests take photographs they hope you had a good night BRIDGE: Loosen up your tie make the viewers cry () I cannot pretend to cry SOLO: ---------------------------------------------------------------|----------|| ---------------------------------------------------------------|----------|| --------------9>11--------------9>11--------------9>11-11--11--|-11>9-----|| --------9>11--------------9>11--------------9>11---------------|----------|| --9>11--------------9>11--------------9>11---------------------|-------12-|| ---------------------------------------------------------------|----------|| VERSE: Memorise by heart every single part there's nothing for you here CHORUS: Where the guests like souvenirs they play with you til you're all worn out back where the guests like souvenirs they hope you had a good night Each night I would fall right off the stairs no one's in prayer (?)
