Sad Trombone (with Shaggy) - Sting, Shaggy Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
Look, _ [Gm] _ look, look, look, [F] look, look, _ look.
[Gm] _ _ _ I like [F] him, I like him.
[Gm] _ _ _ Come here, [Dm] come here, come here.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] Oh yeah.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shot one, over there.
_ _ [Gm] Way back here on [F] the bandstand,
_ [Gm] She looked like a goddess [F] in the lights.
_ [Gm] Some point in the [F] set she turned her face,
[Gm] And glanced my way most [F] nights.
_ _ [Gm] I'd take a little [F] solo, _
_ [Gm] I'd play for her, she'd smile [F] and turn the favor.
_ [Gm] I'd make the sweetest [F] love to her,
_ [Gm] With every [F] semiquaver. _
[Dm] _ [Eb] There's a sadness in your [D] playing, she said,
[G] That penetrates [Em] my bones.
[E] _ _ [C] _ Something in your [D] intonation,
_ [Gm] _ [C] Something in your tone.
[E] _ _ [C] Always _ _ [D] understated,
_ [G] But never _ _ [Em] overblown.
[E] _ [Bb] My name for you [D] is _ [G] Sad _ Trombone.
_ [Em] _ _
_ [Bb] Yes, my name for you [D] is _ [Gm] Sad Trombone.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] It seemed like she'd [F] found
_ [Gm] The secret key to my [F] soul,
_ _ [Gm] And gathered up my broken [F]
life,
[Gm] And somehow made [F] me whole. _
_ _ [G] We'd share a room [F] together, _
_ [Gm] My bandmates were all [F] green,
_ [G] And they warned me about some story,
[Dm] _
_ [Gm] In a movie they'd all [F] seen. _
[Dm] _ [Eb] There's a sadness in your [D] playing, she said,
[G] That penetrates [Em] my _ [E] bones.
_ [Eb] _ Something in your [A] _
intonation,
_ [G] _ Something [C] in your tone.
_ _ _ _ Always [Bb] understated,
_ [Gm] But never _ _ [E] overblown.
_ [Eb] My name for you [D] is Sad [G] _ Trombone. _ _ _ _
[Eb] Yes, my name for you is [Bb] _
[Gm] Sad Trombone.
When the light goes [F] out and the music stops,
[Gm] And the curtain closed,
[Dm] _ _
That's [Gm] when the heart deepens,
[F] Sadness on your [Gm] face you can't take no more.
[F] I _ [G] see you searching for your [F] smile, _
We [Gm] haven't seen that in a [F] while. _
Now [Gm] when the light goes out and the [F] music stops,
[Gm] And the curtain closed,
[F] _ _
That's Sad [Gm] Trombone.
We never made [F] much money,
_ _ [Gm] _ Ticket counts were [F] light. _
_ [Gm] We'd count the bars [G] until we reached
[Gm] Some hotel for the [F] night. _
_ _ [Gm] She was my morning coffee,
_ [G] The butter on my [F] toast,
_ [Gm] Till she got a better [F] offer _
From [Gm] some outfit on the [F] coast.
_ [Eb] Oh, there's a sadness in my [D] playing now,
_ [G] _ A [Em] desperate cry, a moan.
_ [Eb] _ Something in [A] my choice of notes,
[G] _ [C] Something in my tone.
[E] _ _ [Bb] Sliding to the [D] deepest bass,
[Gm] From a lonely _ [E] baritone,
_ [Bb] I guess I'll always be [D] the Sad _ [Gm] _ Trombone.
_ [E] _ _
I [C] guess I'll always be [F] the Sad _ [Gm] _ Trombone.
_ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bb] It's an old, old [F] story, _
_ _ [Gm] One you've probably [Dm] heard,
You [Bb] _ start out in a [F] major key,
[G] Then you're down a minor [D] third.
_ _ [Gm] _ Aimlessly [G] sliding, _
_ _ [Gm] Sinking like a [F] stone, _
_ [Gm] It doesn't get no [F] deeper _
Than [Gm] the scraps that you've been [Dm] thrown. _
_ _ [Eb] Some things, they [Bb] just stay with [Gm] you
Long after they [C] have flown, _
_ [Eb] And it always comes back [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
down to the bone.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ Down [F] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Gm] to the bone_
[F] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Down [Gm] to the bone_
[F] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm]
Down _ [Gm] to the _ [F] bone_ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Gm] Down to the bone, _ [F] _
down _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Gm] to the bone, yeah.
