Brinsley Schwarz - Surrender To The Rhythm [OGWT] chords
Start Jamming...
Well, the pub rock circuit's getting a good deal of exposure of various kinds these days.
It really does make for an enjoyable evening to wander around to one of your locals,
order a pure orange juice on the rocks, [F] and listen to one of the very fine bands [E] on the circuits.
Of those bands, Ducks Deluxe and Bees Make Honey both had first records released last Friday.
Kilburn and the [F] High Roads are well on the way to completing their first album,
and Brinsey [C#] Schwartz have long been the [F#] major champions.
Here's one of the songs from the last LP, Nervous on the Road, [A] and this is Surrender.
[F#m] [A]
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
[E] Well, they danced [D] to every tune the band would [A] play
[E] And just about midnight, [D] they decided [A] to call it a day
[E] Now there's one thing [D] that is left here [A] on their minds, yeah, [F#m] yeah, yeah
[Bm] To get a [F#] little slice, [Bm] [F#m] a dirty price, [Bm] yeah
Just throw the shoes and rice [E] and surrender to the river man who's calling him [A] home
[F#m] [A]
[F#m]
She [E] was dumb, she [D] was dirty, yeah, but she [A] was a princess
A [E] customer made the fit [D] right here to [A] his arm
She [E] could thrill him, she [D] could chill him, now
[A] Now to [F#m] the bone, the bone [Bm] child
Thought he was in [F#m] his teen now
[Bm] He had [F#m] not spilled a [Bm] bean
Oh, still [F#m] looking for ways and means
[E] And into the river lad is calling him home
It's a secret, right or wrong
I've never seen her in another song
[D] [Bm] [D] I [Bm] bet we're doing alright
[E] Hey, [A] [F#m] [A]
[E] guess what?
[D] Guess what happened?
[A] Guess what happened?
[E] She had to go, [D] said she was meeting up [A] with one of her friends
Oh yeah, now, [E] but it was nothing [D] more or less [A] than another mess
[F#m] I'm the blue, the blue [Bm] child
Thought he had more to lose now
He [F#m] started putting in blue
[Bm] Oh [F#m] yeah, pay the [E] blues
And to the river lad is calling him [A] home
[F#m] Surrender to the [A] river
[F#m]
Surrender, [A] [F#m] surrender to the [A] river
Surrender, yeah, to the river
[F#m] [A]
I'm the blue
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
