"Be Nice To Me"
(Todd Rundgren)
Note from AWR: right-hand keyboard voicings are given where not obvious;
the 7-1-3-5 voicing of the major-7th chords is a trademark Toddism.
Intro:
Bb F/A Gm7 Gm7/C [all voiced with F on top]
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
Bbmaj9 Fmaj7 [Bbmaj9: D-F-A-C]
No catch, no strings [Fmaj7: E-F-A-C]
Bbmaj9 Fmaj7
None of the usual things
Ebmaj7 Cm7 Cm7/F Bbmaj7 [Ebmaj7: D-Eb-G-Bb]
I'm happy just to lay and look
Em7 A6 Dm9 [Dm9: A-C-E-F]
Let's throw out the book
G6/9 G Gm7 [G6/9: B-E-A]
Now we're off the hook
E E7
And please just be
Chorus 1:
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 E E7
Nice to me won't you
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 A7 (Bbmaj9)
Be nice to me (nice to me)
Verse 2:
So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please just be
Chorus 2/Bridge:
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 C
Nice to me
Bbmaj9 Am7
And would it bring you down
Gm7 Gm7/C
If I hang around and just
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 C
Be nice to me
Bb Am7
It's been a long, long time
Gm7 A7
Since I felt so fine
Bb F/A Gm7 F
And I know your love is fine
Bb F/A G G7 C G/B
I know what's on your mind, but
Verse 3:
Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't make me wonder why
You're doing what you're doing now
Can't you see somehow
It's the wrong time now
So please just be
Coda:
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 C
Nice to me
Bb F/A Gm7 Gm7/C
/ / / / / / / /
Fmaj7 Am7 Gm9 C
Be nice to me
Bb F/A Gm7 Gm7/C
It's been a long, long time since I felt so fine [fade]
