This Side Of Morning      Del Amitri (Justin Currie)

This si another song of the album "waking Hours" by Del
Amitri (1989). It is one of my favourites. It has lovley
chord-progressions and nevertheless is easy to play.


INTRO

2x D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A



D   D6sus4 G       A           D
  Nobody's perfect, and that's something

          D6sus4  G      A
  that I'm sure   she'll know

        D                  D6sus4        G        A
  Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times

          F#                        G   G9
  is like trying to divide ice from snow

D            D6sus4      G   A   D            D6sus4
  And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi

            G             A
  And said "Guess were to go"

          D             D6sus4
  And the driver turned about and said,

   G                A
  "Finding what you want is like

  F#                        G    G9
  Trying to divide ice from snow"



     A      A9   G               G9
  So here I sit, rolling back to bed

          A
  Knowing love is a hazard

  D6sus4       G      G9
  That I never guessed

           D    D9sus4    D6sus4
  But from this side  of  morning

    G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
  I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.



D   D6sus4 G       A
  Nobody's helpless, although

      D      D6sus4    G          A
  I've never felt this helpless before

      D            D6sus4       G             A
  And trying to persuade myself not to think about her

          F#                            G       G9
  Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour

D          D6sus4       G
  And so I put down the bottle

A             D               D6sus4
  While in my head time is collapsing

          G            A
  And the currents run cold

     D              D6sus4
  So I can curse her memory

      G         A               F#
  But don't try telling me that she was not

                  G
  An emerald in a mountain of coal

          G9        F#
  Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer

         G            G9
  At the end of the rainbow.



     A      A9   G               G9
  So here I sit, rolling back to bed

          A
  Knowing love is a hazard

  D6sus4       G      G9
  That I never guessed

           D    D9sus4   D6sus4
  But from this side  of morning

    G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A
  I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.



      A                                   G
  And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive

              D
  But will forget

     G
  So take my from this party, driver

  A
  put me back to bed

    A                               G              D
  I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead

     G                   A  A9
  So if this taxi is for hire

           G
  I'll get in the back

                   G9                            A A7 A6sus4 A
  Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.



D D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A

D      D6sus4 G      A            D
  So nobody's perfect, and that's something that

      D6sus4 G       A
  I'm sure    she'll know

      D            D6sus4
  And trying to persuade myself

  G             A
  Not to think about her is like

  F#                                 G   G9
  Trying to tell the crockels not to crow

          F#
  Or like trying to tell the striker

         G               G9
  Not to think about the goal.






     A      A9   G               G9
  So here I sit, rolling back to bed

          A
  Knowing love is a hazard

  D6sus4       G      G9
  That I never guessed

           D    D9sus4   D6sus4
  But from this side  of morning

    G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A
  I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.

"This Side Of Morning" Del Amitri

This song was recently transcribed by helmers@chemie.fu-berlin.de (Juergen
Helmers).

I made some changes (changes are defined as corrections and personal
preferences).
I put the capo on the 2nd fret, changed the intro, changed the end of each
verse and the end of the song. Either way... great tune.
