Shakey Graves "Call it Heaven" At Guitar Center chords
Start Jamming...
I'm Nick Harcourt and we're here with Shaky Graves, but you have a real name as well.
Yeah, my parents didn't name me Shaky Graves.
Yeah, that would be weird.
Yeah, it would be a little hard.
Alejandro.
Alejandro, yeah.
It's great to have you here.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
What's your earliest musical memory?
Oh, geez.
All right, let's see.
My earliest musical memory is probably listening to the Phantom of the Opera [F] soundtrack,
[G] actually, when I was like three, four, something like that.
And my parents actually lived down in Venice at the time.
My dad had a big, scary, white, homeless person van.
And I remember jamming out the synthy overture to that.
Can you tell me a little bit about the song, Koalaid Heaven?
Yeah, I wrote that song with a friend of mine named Esme Patterson.
And her and I do three duets on my album that I just [E] put out called In The War Came.
[Em] And this is one of them.
[G] And this was [Em] the second song we ever wrote together.
[Bm] And it's sort of a back and forth [A] about [Am] being trapped, I guess, in a relationship,
I guess, be it sexual [Em] or any kind of relationship.

Oh, [A] yeah, you don't know [Am] just what you [G] are.
[Am] Well, I'm near the sky without a [E] star.
[G]
[B] Baby, it's building [C] till it's bound to burst.
I can't forget I've [G] been the best of your worst.
We'll call it heaven, but [A] it's hell on earth.
[C] Yeah, lucky us, [G] easy curse.
Oh, baby, it's building [C] till it's bound to burst.
I can't forget I've [G] been the best of your worst.
We'll call it heaven, but [D] it's hell on earth.
[C] Lucky us, [G] easy curse.
Yeah, lucky us, easy curse.
Well, you don't know.
[D] Yeah, you [Em]
don't know.
[A] Oh, yeah, you don't know [Am] just what you [G] were.

[F#] Yeah, you [G] don't know.
[Am] You don't know just what [G] you've been.
Well, [D] [A] you say you sure look a lot like him.
[Em]
[G] Baby, it's building [C] till it's bound to burst.
I can't forget [G] I've been the best of your worst.
We'll call it heaven, but [D] it's hell on [C] earth.
Lucky us, [G] easy curse.
Oh, baby, it's building [C] till it's bound to burst.
I can't forget I've [G] been the best of your worst.
We'll call it heaven, but it's [D] hell on [C] earth.
