Careless whisper — Barenaked Ladies

Song: Careless Whisper Performed By: Barenaked Ladies (Live) Written By: George Michael Chorded/Tabbed by: David Rickard (2002)

This song is performed live by Barenaked Ladies quite often, and this is the version I've got here. Its not neccessarily the same as George Michael's version, but hey, I like it :-)

Guitar: I've seen Ed play this with one of his PRS guitars, so it calls for a Humbucker, a dab of chorus and a nudge up on the gain maybe. You want a warm sound for this song. Its capoed on the third fret.

Intro Riff. This is only played as the intro to the song.

Capo 3

Verse Chords:

Verse

I feel so unsure, As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.

As the music dies... Something in your eyes,

Calls to mind a silver screen, And all those sad goodbyes.

Chorus

I'm never gonna dance again, Guilty feet have got no rhythm. Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool.

I should have no better than to cheat a friend, And waste the chance that I'd been given. So I'm never gonna dance again, The way I danced with you.

INSTRUMENTAL (Play Chorus chords)

Verse

Time can never mend, The careless whispers of a good friend. To the heart and mind, If your answer's kind... There's no comfort in the truth, Pain is all you'll find.

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge

Tonite the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose the crowd. Maybe it's better this way, We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.

We could have been so good together, We could have made this last forever... But now, who's gonna dance with me? Please stay.

Now that you're gone... Now that you're gone... Now that you're gone... Was what I did so wrong? So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

REPEAT CHORUS

And thats about it!
