Greetings fellow Odds fans! Here's my transcription to 'Wendy Under the Stars':
"Wendy Under the Stars" - By the Odds. Written by Steven Drake. Taken from the album 'Neopolitan'. All songs published by Virgin Music.
***all chords standard 'folk' positions. No barre chords. Use an electric (one or two), clean, although it gets crunchy later in the song.
Intro: G G/C [the G/C is made by keeping the G root but adding E(2nd fret D-string) and C(1st fret B-string)]
Verses: Em F Em F D C D C / Em F Am G D C Em F
Chorus: G Em F G G/C G G/C
***And that's it! Just go in this order: intro, verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, verse 3, chorus (outro).
The lyrics are:
I was sitting there watching TV Wendy came and sat on my knee She put her finger in my ear But I pulled it out so I could hear What the newsman on the television said He said the king of rock & roll was dead And in the spooky television light She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus: I was fucking Wendy under the stars, the night that Elvis died
As walked across the dew wet field I never ever thought she would yield To my young body's aching desire For an older woman's well banked fire By the left hand I was led To the place that we would make our bed And embracing in the blue moonlight She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
She was 31, I was 17 I found out then what passion could mean I thought I loved her but I didn't know how I don't love her when I see her know With the tape deck turned up loud She made a young man strong and proud And in the coolness of the morning light She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
