…OCTOBER SONG… by Amy Winehouse

——————……………..

from ‘Frank’ (2004)

Intro:

Dmaj7 Bm6,

(x4)

Verse 1:

Today, my bird flew away,
Gone to find her big Blue Jay.
Starlight before she took flight,
I sang a Lullaby Of Birdland everynight.

I sang a lullaby everynight,
Sang for my Ava everynight.

Chorus 1:

Ava was the morning, now she’s gone,
She’s re-born like Sarah Vaughan.

In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.

Bridge 1:

And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.

Verse 2:

With dread, I woke in my bed,
To shooting pains up in my head.
Lovebird, my beautiful bird,
Spoke until one day,
She couldn’t be heard.

She spoke until one day,
She couldn’t be heard,
She just stopped singing.

Chorus 2:

Ava was the morning, now she’s gone,
She’s re-born like Sarah Vaughan.

In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.

Bridge 2:

And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.

Chorus 3:

Ava was the morning, now she’s gone,
She’s re-born like Sarah Vaughan.

In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.

Bridge 2:

And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.

Coda:

(with Vocal Ad Libs)

(Repeat to Fade)

…TAKE THE BOX… by Amy Winehouse

——————……………..

from ‘Frank’ (2004)

CAPO 4th FRET

(Original Key: G#m)

Intro:

Am, Em (x2)

Verse 1:

Your neighbours were screaming,
I don’t have a key for downstairs,
So I punched all the buzzers,
Hoping you wouldn’t be there.

So now my head’s hurting,
You say I always get my own way.
But you were in the shower,
When I got there,
I’d have wanted to stay,
But I got nothing to say.

Bridge 1:

‘Cos you were, so beautiful,
Be-fore to-[F#7b9sus4]day.

But then I heard,
What you got to say;
Man that was ugly.

Chorus 1:

The Mos-chino bra,
You bought me last Christmas;
(Put it in the box, put it in the box).
Frank’s in there and I don’t care,
(Put it in the box, put it in the box).

Just take it, take the box…
[C/D] Take the box.

Interlude:

Em Em7, E7#9

Verse 2:

I came home this evening,
And nothing felt like how it should be.
I feel like writing you a letter,
But that is not me; you know me.

Feel so fucking angry;
Don’t wanna be,
Don’t wanna be re-minded of you.
But when I left my shit in your kitchen,
I said good-bye to your bedroom;
It smelled of you.

Bridge 2:

Mr False Pretence,
You don’t make sense,
I just don’t [F#7b9sus4]know you.

But you make me cry,
Where’s my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you.

Chorus 2:

The Mos-chino bra,
You bought me last Christmas;
(Put it in the box, put it in the box).
Frank’s in there and I don’t care,
(Put it in the box, put it in the box).

Just take it, take the box…
[C/D] Take the box.
