Book & A Cover/Suzanne Vega --------------------------- from the album "The Best of Suzanne Vega, Tried And True" (1998) transcribed by Yuval Mishory (mishory@bgumail.bgu.ac.il) additions made by Bambi Kill (freezetag@hotmail.com) capo on the 3rd fret chords used: G 320033 or 3300xx Em 022000 or 02220x F 133211 A 002220 Asus2 x02200 G/B x2000x C x32000 the alternative chords for G and Em are if you wish pick the chords like in the intro, otherwise simple strumming sounds better with the normal chords. note: the Em chord should be hammered-on in a few places throughout the song, but it's easy to figure out if you know the song (as I'm sure you do). intro: same as the beginning of the verse. lyrics+chords: -------------- G Em What's that they told you G Em about a book & a cover? G Em Don't judge so quickly, G Em Is it too much to remember? F 'Cause pictures lie, G you know, F I'll show G it's so. Em Just give it one thought. What's that they taught you? To revere a kind of beauty? To paint on that pretty veneer and try to hide whatever's dirty? Well, faces lie. You'll see no sympathy. Just give it one thought. F G Asus2 Come here and I will whisper true G/B F about the things I know of you, G and you will recognize them, Em A always... F G Asus2 As near to you as breath and bone, C F so dear to me, and yours alone, G and I will love you for them, Em A always... What's that they tell you about a book & a cover? Don't judge so quickly. They'll tell you one thing and then another. But see what lies within, under the skin. Just give it one thought.
