Seven Days - Sting from the album "Ten Summoner's Tales"
Transcription by Luis Ferreira
{ If you want to give that cool sound of the beginning of the song, just }
{ pull the A string alone and then the D, G and B strings simultaneously, }
{ and immediatly muting them with your palm, or whatever. But if you want }
{ to do this, I guess it all sounds better with barre (whatever) chords, }
{ otherwise the strings will ring too much... }
Cmaj7
"Seven days" was all she wrote
D# A#
A kind of ultimatum note
G F Fadd9
She gave to me, she gave to me
Cmaj7
When I thought the field had cleared
D# A#
It seems another suit appeared
G E
To challenge me, woe is me
Cmaj7
Though I hate to make a choice
D# A# G
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
F Fadd9
Well we'll see
Cmaj7
I don't think she'd bluff this time
D# A#
I really have to make her mine
G
It's plain to see
E E7
It's him or me
Fmaj7 Fmaj7/F# G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
E7/G# Am
If I make up my mind
Fmaj7 G E7/G# Am
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
F#7-5/nr Am F#7-5/nr
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
Fm Cmaj7
But Sunday'd be too late
Cmaj7
The fact he's over six feet ten
D# A#
Might instill fear in other men
G F Fadd9
But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?)
Cmaj7
Ask if I am mouse or man
D# A#
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
G E
He'll murder me in time for his tea
Cmaj7
Does it bother me at all
D# A# G
My rival is Neanderthal it makes me think
F Fadd9
Perhaps I need a drink
Cmaj7
IQ is no problem here
D# A# G
We won't be playing scrabble for her hand I fear
E E7
I need that beer
Fmaj7 Fmaj7/F# G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
E7/G# Am
If I make up my mind
Fmaj7 G E7/G# Am
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
F#7-5/nr Am F#7-5/nr
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
Fm Cmaj7
But Sunday'd be too late
A# Cmaj7
Seven days will quickly go
A# Cmaj7
The fact remains, I love her so
A# F
Seven days, so many ways
A# Cmaj7
But I can't run away
Fmaj7 Fmaj7/F# G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
E7/G# Am
If I make up my mind
Fmaj7 G E7/G# Am
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
F#7-5/nr Am F#7-5/nr
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
Fm Cmaj7
But Sunday'd be too late
Cmaj7
Do I have to tell a story
A# Cmaj7 A#
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Cmaj7
It's a big enough umbrella
A# Cmaj7 A# C
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Great song, hope you'll like it :)
Cmaj7 x32000 , but I think x35453 sounds better
D# x68886
A# x13331
G 320003 , or 355433
F 133211
Fadd9 xx3213 , but xx3011 will do the job :)
E 022100
Fmaj7 xx3210
Fmaj7/F# xx4210 (just add your pinky to the previous chord)
E7/G# 420100
Am x02210
F#7-5/nr x12310 (/nr stands for NOROOT)
Fm 133111
C x32010
I'm sure there is a better name for that F#7-5/nr chord,
but who cares, anyway? Bah!
