Tuning: Standard
This is the capo version of Cornerstone chords by Robert Farell that was submitted
by MyNameIsRamone.
Thanks a lot you two for making and submitting this tab here.
I think it would be a lot easier for some novice player to play this song without
the bar chords :) so i made the capo version of it.
But i?m still can?t figure how to play Dm while placing your capo on 2nd fret so i
guess you still have to play the chord like this:
Dm: 556645
here we go.....
Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)
Intro
G
Verse 1
G
I thought I saw you in the battleship
CAm
but it was only a look-a-like
G
She was nothing but a vision trick
CAm
Under the warning light
EmGEm
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
G
But my chances turned to toast
CAmEm)
When i asked her if i could call her your name
G
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
CAm
Huddled up in a wicker chair
G
I wandered over for a closer look
CAm
And kissed who ever was sitting there
EmGE
She was close, and she held me very tightly
G
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
CAmG
Can I call you her name.
(To transition into the chorus play this; G Em G Em Em, listen out for the strumming)

CAm
And I elongated my lift home,
EmC
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Am
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Em
And kept my shortcuts to myself
G C Em (Come in with G at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
G
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
CAm
Messing with the smoke alarm,
G
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
CAm
And she had a broken arm,
EmGEm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
G
And she wrote it out in letra-set
CAmBm
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge
GBm
Tell me where's your hiding place
GBm
I'm worried I'll forget your face

I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt

G
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
CAm
On the phone to the middle man

When I saw that she was on her own

I thought she might understand

She was close, well you couldn't get much closer

She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,

You can call me anything you want.
