Here's my attempt at "So You'd Like To Save The World" by Lloyd Cole off his "Bad Vibes" album. Lloyd wrote this wondering what it would be like to go out with Natalie Merchant.
Listen to the song to get the muting and accents that Lloyd puts on individual chords (ie the muting on the G and the accents on the C in the verses)
Capo at 4th - chords written like they are played at first position (ie G=B)
Chords G 320033 G/B x20033 C* x32013 D xx0232 C x32010 Am7 x02010
Intro G
So you'd like to save the world
I suggest you start one person at a time
and start with me
Not an ordinary girl
Not some that I should hit upon
and ask "Hey what's your sign babe"
*Prechorus*
Have you been reading my mind (what did you find)
Nothing more or less terestrial
Could I keep you in mind
*Chorus*
Did you really cry
When you saw the hole in the sky
Did you really hold your head high
That's alright you might call it ultraviolet radiation
Its only sunlight
*same as other verse* So you'd like to save my world If you could free my inner child then I could free your inhibitions babe Or would you like to mother me I love the way you wear that montrola(?) robe Generation chic mama
Pre chorus
Chorus - same as other except instead of G C G C G go into following over chorus chords
Aw yes it is Aw yes it is Aw yes you might call it ultraviolet radiation Its only sunglight
(Noodling around on C)
*over chorus chords * So you'd like to save the world I'd really like to help you I'd really like to free you Is that alright I could call it ultraviolet radiation But its only sunlight
Its only sunlight Its only sunlight You could call it ultrviolet radiation
