Under an Old Umbrella

guitar tabs lyrics

Marissa Nadler

Tuning: standard, capo 2

Em = 022000
D* = x54000 (or 554000)
Cmaj7+11 = x34000 (or 334000)
Cmaj7 = x32000 (or 332000)
D = xx0232

The bracketed chords are for those who prefer to strum the song.

The easiest way to play the verse is just to keep 032000 in position
with your index and middle finger, and change to 034000 with your
pinky for the D* and Cmaj7+11 chords.

Intro: Em - D* - Cmaj7+11 - Em (4x)

Verse 1 (same as intro):
Em D*
Say hello to the sea
Cmaj7+11 Em
Or to the holy water
Em D*
Say hello to the sea
Cmaj7+11 Em
Under the skies of azure

And I met him yesterday
Under my old umbrella
And I met him yesterday
Under the skies of azure

Chorus:
Cmaj7 D Em Em
And turquoise was the colour of his eyes
Cmaj7 D Em Em
And bitter wine the colour of mine

Verse 2:
He was tall, gracefully
Held my empty fingers
He was tall, gracefully
He filled my curled hot body

And I met him yesterday
Under the skies of azure
And I met him yesterday
Under my old umbrella

Chorus

Outro (Same as intro, only this time repeat 6x; slow down towards the last one and
end on an Em arpeggio)
