E|----------------------|/ Corinne Bailey Rae / / The Blackest Lily / / The Sea / /_____________________/ In this wonderfully sexy song there is nothing more than this 12 bars round. In the chorus, bars 2 and 4 are shortened to half the length, 2/4, which adds this cool twist to the groove. The guitar is not that prominent in this song, so I've just notated chords when it doesn't play anything in particular.E|-------------------------------- E|---------------------------------- E|----------|Verse:| Am | Am | Ammaj7 | Ammaj7 || Am7 | Am7 | D9 | D9 || F7 | F7 | E7 | E7 | Verse: The band comes in on D9, and from there the guitar strums these chords: D9 x 5 4 5 5 x F7 x x 3 2 1 1 E7 x x 2 1 0 0 Chorus: (2/4) (2/4)| Am | Am | Ammaj7 | Ammaj7 || Am7 | Am7 | D9 | D9 || F7 | F7 | E7 | E7 |Continues after the adThis is the electric guitar part for the chorus: Am (2/4) Ammaj7 E|-----------------|---------|---- B|-----------------|---------|---- G|-----------------|---------|---- D|-7---7-----7---7-|---7-----|-6-- A|-----------------|---------|---- E|-5---5-----5---5-|---5-----|-5-- (2/4) E|-------------|---------| B|-------------|---------| G|-------------|---------| D|-6-----6---6-|---6-----| A|-------------|---------| E|-5-----5---5-|---5-----| Am7 E|-----------------|-------------- B|-----------------| 5h7--7-5-7-5- G|-------------5-7-|-------------- D|-5---5-----7-----|-------------- A|-----------------|-------------- E|-5---5-----------|-------------- D9 E|---|-----------------|------------ B|8-5~|~~---------------|----------- G|---|--------7b8r7p5--|------------ D|---|---------------7~| ~~\-------- A|---|-----------------|------------ E|---|-----------------|------------ F7 E|---8-8-8-8-8--/8-|-8-8-8-8\----- B|--1010101010-/10-| 10101010\---- G|-----------------|-------------- D|-----------------|-------------- A|-----------------|-------------- E|-----------------|-------------- E7 E|---|-------------------|---------- B|----|-------------------|--------- G|---|-------------------|---------- D|---|-------------------|---------- A|---|-------------------|---------- E|---|-0-0-3-5-5b6r5-3-0-|----------Drum break: 2 bars Verse ChorusGuitar solo (verse) Am E|-----------------|------------- B|-----------------|------------- G|--7b9-r7p5-------|-7b9-7b9-7b9- D|-----------7~~~--|------------- A|-----------------|------------- E|-----------------|------------- Ammaj7 E|--------|-----------------|----- B|--------|-----------------|----- G|7b9-7b9-|-7b9-r7p5--------| 7b9- D|--------|----------7p5-7~~|----- A|--------|-----------------|----- E|--------|-----------------|----- ---------------| ---------------| 7b9-7b9-7b9-7b9-| ---------------| ---------------| ---------------| Am7 E|-----------------|-------------- B|-7b8-------------|-------------- G|-------7b9--5b7--|--7/10-10\7-7- D|-----------------|-------------- A|-----------------|-------------- E|-----------------|-------------- D9 E|-----|------------------|-------- B|-----|------3\1---------|-------- G|5----|--------------2---|-------- D|--7p5|-3/4------------2-|-2p0---- A|-----|------------------|-------- E|-----|------------------|-------- E|---------| B|0--------| G|0--------| D|--2~-----| A|---------| E|---------|...then the keyboard's talkbox-part in the last 4 bars:| F7 | F7 | E7 | E7 | Verse 2x ChorusOutro: Am (2/4) Ammaj7 E|-----------------|---------|---- B|-----------------|---------|---- G|-----------------|---------|---- D|-7---7-----7---7-|---7---7-|-6-- A|-----------------|---------|---- E|-5---5-----5---5-|---5---5-|-5-- (2/4) E|-------------|---------| B|-------------|---------| G|-------------|---------| D|-6-----6---6-|---6---6-| A|-------------|---------| E|-5-----5---5-|---5---5-| Am7 (2/4) Ammaj7 E|-----------------|---------|---- B|-----------------|---------|---- G|-----------------|---------|---- D|-5---5-----5---5-|---5---5-|-6-- A|-----------------|---------|---- E|-5---5-----5---5-|---5---5-|-5-- (2/4) E|-------------|---------| B|-------------|---------| G|-------------|---------| D|-6-----6---6-|---6---6-| A|-------------|---------| E|-5-----5---5-|---5---5-| Am E|-----------------| B|-----------------| G|-----------------| D|-7---7-----------| A|-----------------| E|-5---5-----------|LYRICS ********** I didn't know the day was I didn't know what the time it was I didn't know what my heart would do I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone I was a creature of appetites And we played a game that you didn't like There wasn't nothing that I could do I can be so bad I can be so bad They just took it away and they broke it in two Colour my heart Colour my heart Make it restart Make it restart Colour my heart I want it more than I ever knew The blackest lily The blackest pony Won't protect my heart from you You were unnercingly delicate And I had a weekness for etiquette You laid a trail that led straight to your door And I could resist, but it was hard to ignore Colour my heartE|-------------------------------- E|---------------------------------- E|----------|--19th /July /10E|-------------------------------- E|---------------------------------- E|----------|--
