"This Could Be My Year" (words and music my Jacob Slichter)
Semisonic
from the album "Feeling Strangely Fine" (MCAD/11733)
Transcribed by Daniel Pike (dpike0@gtc.georgetown.ky.us)
Intro: D* A* Em G (4x)
* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string
on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open
until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording. This only
happens in the intro, though.
Verse:
D A
Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
Em G
And a Monday morning cry
A G
It's the tail that you keep chasing
A G
And it gets away every time
D A
New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
Em G
Another Zodiac's gone around
A G
While you drank yourself high on hoping
A G
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Pre-chorus:
F#
Counting down from ten it's time
Bm
To make your annual prayer
F#
Secret Santa in the sky
Bm E
When will I get my share
Chorus:
Em D
Then you tell yourself
A E
What you want to hear
Em G
Cause you have to believe
A D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
Verse:
D A
Pound your fist and cross it off your list
Em G
But you know you're not that strong
A G
When the man at the stop light catches you
A G
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
D A
Trash or the overnight smash that brings your
Em G
Ship crashing through the wall
A G
So you can make your grand departure
A G
>From a world getting way too small
Pre-chorus:
F#
One wheel in the ditch another
Bm
Spinning in the air
F#
Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not
Bm E
Getting anywhere
Chorus:
Em D
Then you tell yourself
A E
What you want to hear
Em G
Cause you have to believe
A D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
D A Em G
This will be my year
Outro: D A Em G until end.
