The 1975 She Lays Down

Tom: G [Intro/Verse] It's not exactly what he's playing but just mess around with something like this during the verse andyou should sound good. If you want to strum just strum a G and hammer on the 2nd fret on the D string every once in a while. Third line of the verse (The Chemicals that make her laugh... Even though her son is gone... She just wants to feel something... etc.) it change to a D then Back to a G, something like this: [Verse] G And she lays down on her bedroom floor D The chemicals that make her laugh G Don't seem to be working anymore G She tries her best, but it hurts her chest D And even though her son is gone G She'd like to love her child nevertheless Just repeat that for all the verses. [Chorus] (The Chorus is where it gets a bit tricky, here's my interpretation of it) D G E And I don't think that's asking for too much Am D G E C And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep Cm D D7M She's appalled by not loving me at all C D She wears a frown and dressing gown G When she lays down (The most important thing is the play the chorus with a sort of descending bass line so I finger the chords something like this) She's Appalled by not loving me at all So here's the chords for the entire song: [Verse 1] G And she lays down on her bedroom floor D The chemicals that make her laugh G Don't seem to be working anymore [Verse 2] G She tries her best, but it hurts her chest D And even though her son is gone G She'd like to love her child nevertheless [Verse 3] G My hair is brown, she's scared to touch D And she just wants to feel something G E And I don't think that's asking for too much [Chorus 1] Am D G E C And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep Cm D D7M She's appalled by not loving me at all C D She wears a frown and dressing gown G When she lays down [Verse 4] G Well we got a plane, going to see my dad again D She prayed that we fell from the sky G Simply to alleviate the pain [Verse 5] G Over the water, hmm Over terrain D The engines all go bust, we turned to dust G E And I've no reason to complain, yeah [Chorus 2] Am D And in the end, she chose cocaine G E C But it couldn't fix her brain Cm D D7M She's appalled oh she doesn't love me at all C D She wears a frown and dressing gown G When she lays down
