Verse:
Bm G
In the back of the room
A Db
It was there that I saw you
Gbm B
In a shirt that you wore
Em7 A7
Knowing I'd be in the store
Gb Bm
Then you left, down the stairs
G A Db7
Follow you I wouldn't dare
Gbm B7
I accepted my fate
Bm E7 A A7
That I'd never see your face again, again
Chorus:
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You know you're famous in my group of friends
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I feel a sudden urge to
E A A7
Purchase the book you shelved the other day
Post-Chorus:
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A Gb
Bookstore girl
Verse:
Bm
Going back, just to see
G
If still in the store you'd be
Gbm B G A Gb
Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me
Bm Em A7
Knowing more than just your name
Abm Gbm
It wouldn't be the same
B Bm
Remaining fantasy
E A A7
That's more romantic to me -to me-
Chorus:
D Em A Gb Bm
Oh bookstore girl, I wonder what your name is
E A A7
You see, the shame is, I might never know
D Em A Gb Bm
I'll always have the Adler, Stein and Nelson
E A A7
Authors I fell in love with when I met
Post-Chorus:
D Em A A7
Bookstore girl
D Em A Gb
Bookstore girl
Dbm Gb
I asked you foolishly
Bm Gbm
If you work 'til 3
D E
On a Sunday afternoon
G Gm D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
E
-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah-
G Gm Gbm Em D
Bookstore girl, I'll see you soon
franz ferdinand is one of my favorite bands and this is a great song
uh… the lyrics are wrong and there’s something up with the interludes… the first interlude us supposed to be before “I say you don’t know” and from there it just goes downhill. Also, the interludes can’t just be (in +5 transpose) Am Dm Em, it’s too simple.. In the end, besides the interludes, it sounds correct.
Instead of the E chord they have on this, use:
A- 0 (open fret)
E- 4 fret
C- 4 fret
G- 4 fret
Haha I eat butts!
Haha I eat butts!
