Finley Quaye - Dice (2003)

Tuning: Standard

Here is the most I could get out of how to play the guitar parts in this song.

If you want a huge hint on how to play this, the entire song uses the exact same

chord arrangement as the Dandy Warhols song 'Bohemian Like You', just much slower.

Chords:

B 7 9 9 x x x

D x 5 7 7 x x

A 5 7 7 x x x

E x 7 9 9 x x

This is the main chord arrangement, which is basically straightfoward barre chords during the verses.

B D A E

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-------|

D|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-------|

E|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------|

The chorus uses a more free strumming approach, with only six or so sturms for each chord instead of eight.

Verse One:

B D A E

I was crying over you

I am smiling I think of you

Where your gardens have no walls

Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Verse Two:

B D A E

I was crying over you

I am smiling I think of you

Misty mornings and water falls

Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell

Chorus Two:

B D A E

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Bridge:

D A E

Virtuous sensibility

Escape velocity

Chorus Three:

B D A E

And nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Nothing can compare

To when you roll the dice and you swear your love's for me

Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell

Nothing
