Chords for Rickie Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love | Het verhaal achter het nummer | Top 2000 a gogo

_ _ [C] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
The [C#m] _ [F#m] thing _ [G#] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ about rituals is you can make them up yourself [A] as long as you believe them.
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] So Chucky [Bm] is a [A] derivative of [Bm] Charles.
So when I [A] met [D] Chucky Weiss, [A] who was Tom Waits' [Bm] best friend, and Tom Waits [D] was my [A] boyfriend,
[D] I'd overheard him say he was in love.
So I just [Bm] wrote what I saw, Chucky's in love.
But for me, what made it fun was that I changed it to Chucky.
_ [A] _ [Bm] And I do believe [E] there were some [Bm] years of people [A] becoming E, [Bm] like Joe E.
I think that
[A] Chucky's in love had a little bit [D] to do with that.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] They used to hang around at the Troubadour, which was a kind of leftover club in a leftover town.
[D] I came to the Troubadour one night, and [B] I know Tom saw me, and suddenly he was sitting
next [A#] to me.
_ So we got to know each other, and the bar closed.
And he said, I'll walk you to your car.
He didn't say, I'll take you home.
He said, I'll walk you to your car.
And that was good.
And I must have been singing something.
But when we got to the car, we started dancing. _
And we danced, singing to each other, under the streetlight at 2.30 in the morning.
_ I'll always be your girl.
And I drove home.
And I would say that's the beginning of our love affair, to me.
Woo-woo-woo _ -woo [Gm]-woo-woo-woo.
Woo [N] _ -woo-woo _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -woo-woo-woo-woo.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Let's let him go, because he doesn't know who I am or why I'm making those sounds.
[G] _ [Am] How come he [F#] don't come and _ _ [G] PLP with [Am] me [G] down at the [G] meter no more?
How come _ he turned out?
And Chuck, he's a good guy.
_ When [D] I came back from some date, and [D#] I was talking to him, and he said, where [F#m] are you landing?
[C] I said, Burbank.
He said, I'll be there.
[F#] And we call, [Cm] how come we say?
A real friend picked ship at the airport. _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Cm] What makes a [D] boy behave that way?
And I think also Chuck did it to [Em] show Tom, this is what you should [F#] be doing.
All of those _ lines.
[Gm] When he picked me up and we were driving home, I felt like I was part of _ [Em] them.
And it was a really great feeling, [A#] you know.
Because I was _ very lonely.
So the [Cm] jazz when he walks.
Sometimes we were three.
[E] _ I don't know when we were three if I loved one more than the other when we were three.
That sounds like a poem. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] After [Cm] Chuck's in _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ [Cm] Love _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ was [B] really big, it wasn't cool anymore to [A] be Chucky. _
I think he got rid of the E.
First he was Chuckwise, then he was Chuckywise, and then he got rid of the Chucky.
And I [F#] think whatever was happening with [Gm] the popularity of that song might have [A] made him _ _ a little ruder to me.
Like, you've [A#] placed the yoke of this song [E] on my life.
_ _ I [G] don't have contact with him. _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] How would people think this Chuck [Bm] E.
They'd think he's my boyfriend.
He wasn't a boyfriend.
It's a song.
_ Remember I said I gave it a _ _ 1940s happy ending.
But I don't think you should tell them that.
Let them think what they want to [A] think.
