#SOUVENIR
#(Neil Finn)
#
#NOTES:
#
#-- I've supplied two different versions of the intro (which is the same
#thing played on the verses); the first version is an easier way to go,
#though the voicings are not as accurate as Version 2. The problem is
#that version 2 relies on the higher strings, giving you very little bass
#to work with -- and this is a pretty bass-heavy song.
#
#-- This is one of those songs on the album that doesn't work
#particularly well as an acoustic guitar song.
#
#-- The riff is pretty much identical all through the song.

#
#VERSE:
Don't ask the [E]question [D6] [F#m]
cos you won't like the [E]answer [D6] [F#m]
get up off your [E]chair [D6] [F#m]
there's nothing for you [A]here
CHORUS:
[D]Where the [A]guests like souvenir[D]s
[A]they play [D]with you [A]til you're al[D]l worn out
[A]back [D]there the [A]guests like souv[D]enirs [E] [D6] [F#m]
VERSE:
Prison colour blue
it's a uniform of choice
count yourself lucky
and you don't write the software
CHORUS:
and the guests like souvenirs
they play with you till you're all worn out
back where the guests take photographs
they hope you had a good night
BRIDGE:
[G] [A] [Bb] [A]
Loosen up [G]your tie [A] [Bb] [A]
make the [G]viewers cry
[A]I cannot p[Bb]retend to [E]cry [D6] [F#m]
SOLO:
VERSE:
Memorise by heart
every single part
there's nothing for you here
CHORUS:
Where the guests like souvenirs
they play with you til you're all worn out
back where the guests like souvenirs
they hope you had a good night
[G] [A] [Bb] [A]
[G]Each[A] night I [Bb]would fall[A]
right[G] off the stairs[A]
no one[Bb]'s in p[A]rayer (?)
