Intro Riff
Guitar 1
Just keep repeating this under the lead riff
Guitar 2 (lead riff)
Repeat once, then the third time:
Then the bridge right before the lyrics start
:
|-------------------------------7-7h9---|--6--(A barre)
[Note: In some of the verses, the D7 alternates up to a D7sus4 (just add your
pinky to the 3rd fret on the high E string from a D7 chord)]
And what about my tailor my slowly mending lover
She sews me clothes I could not bear to wait
My hands are locusts at her work, a green and fitting coat
Made upon the only honest loom
I remember last night's nightmare, my hand was in the road
The victim of some misdirected thresher
A G#m (arpeggio)
We would run towards the sun
Driving towards the city of the angels
Fill 1
|-(0h1-1)-1-1-2-4--| (0h1-1 is guitar 1, the rest is guitar 2)
She would know of places we could go
To escape the homicide investigation men
And we're weaving through the traffic in the
Shuttle-through-the-loom way
We'll mix our drinks with water that's from
Very far away
And we'll toast to every earthquake rolling
Underneath the bay
And we'll pardon every public servant's heavy cane, ohhh
(They'll never know my name)
Stephanie lives there, Stephanie lives there
Stephanie lives there, Stephanie lives there
Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, oh.....
Variation on Intro Riff
|--17b19r17b19-(3x)-|-14h17------14h17------|--17b19r17----|
D7 (hold)
So I've committed murder like a crazed and angered dope
She's helped me plan a stunning getaway
And when the lynch mob came and we escaped the heat
And went dancing at the local cabaret
We left those lawmen standing with thirteen yards of rope
They'll never see me swinging from a palm tree
She'll be sure to keep me safe here, entangled in her arms
Cuz I'm for her but Stephanie's for L.A., ohhhh
Stephanie's for L.A. (repeat several times)
[(*)Note: The vocals are staggered here. Chords alternate between
A and G, just listen to the song to hear it]
Aaaah, And I would like to board the skybird....
Interlude---play 4x
From the ground, from the ground
Stephanie's for L.A.
Chords:
A (barre)
D7sus4
