Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

[intro]
A  B7  D/E

[verse]
A                   B7
Three little birds, sat on my window
D/E                                 A
And they told me I don't need to worry
A                     B7
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
D/E                                 A
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete

[pre-chorus]
F#m7    C#7/F          F#m7                        B9
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
     Dmaj7                               Dmmaj7
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate

[chorus]
A                          B7/F#
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
D/E                       A
You go ahead, let your hair down
A                         B7/F#
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
D/E                        A
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Dmaj7                            Dmmaj7         A
     You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

[verse 2]
A                B7
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
D/E                              A
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
                   A
(just relax, just relax)
                           B7
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
D/E                        A
Got to love that afro hair do

[pre-chorus]
F#m7    C#7/F          F#m7                        B9
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
     Dmaj7                               Dmmaj7
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?

[chorus]
A                          B7/F#
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
D/E                       A
You go ahead, let your hair down
A                         B7/F#
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
D/E                        A
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Dmaj7                            Dmmaj7
     You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

[bridge]
Bm7
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
F#m                       N.C.                          Bm7
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
                                             A/C#   Dmaj7    Bm7
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Dmaj7
Do what you want to

[chorus]
A                          B7/F#
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
D/E                       A
You go ahead, let your hair down (gon' let your hair down!)
A                         B7/F#
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
D/E                        A
Just go ahead, let your hair down

[chorus]
A                          B7/F#
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
D/E                       A
