Аккорды к песням Secret Service

[NoSmile]

Друзья!

Поскольку время от времени на форуме кто-нибудь спрашивает про ноты или аккорды к той или иной песне, я решил попробовать подобрать аккорды ко всем песням и выложить их здесь - может быть, кому-нибудь пригодятся. Также призываю к обсуждению, поскольку в некоторых местах не уверен в правильности (да и отсутствие какого бы то ни было музыкального образования здесь может сказаться).

Одновременно тексты с аккордами буду записывать в WORD-овский файл, чтобы потом можно было разместить его на сайте.

(Намучавшись с сохранением количества пробелов в строках, пришёл к вот такому варианту - через поле CODE... Но всё равно неудобно. Может быть, кто-нибудь знает, как это сделать проще? Тег <PRE> не работает.)

TEN O’CLOCK POSTMAN

  Chorus
  F
  Ten o'clock postman
  Dm
  Bring me her letter
  Bb
  Ten o'clock postman
  C
  Make me feel better 
   
       F
  Been so many days
  Dm
  Since that I've met her
  Bb
  Ten o'clock postman
  C
  Bring me her letter
  Bb   C                     F
       Bring me her letter
   
  Verse 1
  F
       I'm walking all over the room
                                    Dm
  Wonder why I don't stop biting my nails
   
  Why carry this feeling of doom
                                       Bb
  A couple more hours and I'll get the mail
               C
  I'll get the mail
   
  F
       Finding it so hard to eat
                                                   Dm
  The toast and the eggs they just don't taste the same
  
  Hearing a noise in the street
                                     Bb     Bbm/Db
  I run to the window and cry out in vain       
   
  (Chorus)
   
  Verse 2
  Remembering that she said for sure
  I'll write you the minute I'll get off the plane
  Nothing, not one single word
  It must come this morning or I'll go insane
  I'll go insane
   
  Now it's been almost five days
  Could she have sent it by air or by rail
  I hear someone's comin' this way
  This must be it, yes it must be the mail
   
  (Chorus)

HEY JOHNNY

  Melody
  C#m | B | A | B |
  C#m | B | A | B |
   
  Chorus
  A               E
       Hey Johnny don’t tell her 
  A              E              A
       I think I saw her face today 
             E
  Hey Johnny don’t tell her 
  A                 B                 A     E   A   E
       I thought my knees are made of clay 
  A                   E
       Don’t tell her I’ve told you 
  A              B              A
       I think I saw her face today
             B                  C#m
  I miss her more and more each day 
   
  Verse 1
  C#m
       Meeting a friend
            B
  Hoping to hear that she’s changed her mind 
  A
       I try to pretend
    C#m/G#                   G#
  I left her so far behind 
  
  C#m
       Deep down inside 
          B
  Holding back on my loathsome lies
  A
       Much more than pride 
                 B
  I’m aching for love in her dark blue eyes 
   
  (Chorus)
   
  Verse 2
  Whispering her name 
  Nothing’s so sweet when the life’s grown dim 
  I am to blame 
  Letting her out to him 
   
  Maybe I’ll try 
  To show the world that I don’t really care
  Look in my eyes 
  There you can see that pain everywhere 
   
  (Chorus)
  (Melody)

  Singin' much too young

(*) - имеется в виду сочетание "си - ре-диез - фа"; я не знаю, как обозначается такой аккорд. Программа Band-In-A-Box выдала обозначение B5b, но ей особо доверять не стоит.

Ещё одно наблюдение. На некоторых песнях истинная тональность находится где-то посередине между нотами, и особенно это чувствуется на Oh Susie и Darling, You're My Girl. У меня подозрение, что Secret Service немного баловались с изменением скорости воспроизведения начальной аранжировки. Вот, к примеру, Darling, You're My Girl: она в тональности, близкой к до-диез-мажор, а медленная длинная версия этой песни - в тональности си-мажор. Возможно, существовала изначальная аранжировка, записанная в до-мажоре, из которой музыканты потом сделали две окончательные версии: одну - немного разогнали, другую, наоборот, замедлили. И дважды записали вокал. В итоге сочли, что для альбома больше подходит быстрая версия. Но это только мои предположения.

  And now I’m glad - I know that it’s time to go

  Why don’t you {come on or hide in}

       Her hair and T-shirt were both black

       And my eyes have stuck as glued 
         G

  When you see the sunny smile 
  Rolling fast in the flashy style

  Verse 2
  It didn’t start off all too well 
  I stick, I stumble and I fell 
  But in the end I saw the light 
  And we roll it to the night 
   
  It’s hard to say just how it feels 
  When you meet that angel on wheels 
  When you see that sunny smile 
  Rolling fast in the flashy style

FAMILY DELIGHT

В качестве текста взят черновик, который составили Vel, Nightcruiser и АВТОР. (Кстати, на мой взгляд, это и не черновик, а чистовик, и его надо включить в общую коллекцию текстов.)

Verse 1
  B                                 F#
       Little sister, mama, you have grown 
  C#m                                       G#m
       You send me rocking like a knock-out blow
  B/D#
       It’s hard to handle, you amaze me 
  E                                    B/F#
       Sixteen candles drives me crazy now 
                  F#
  Drives me crazy now

  Little sister, you got Norma’s/Mama's eyes
  But they’re not showing her fantastic lies 
  Before I kiss you let me first say 
  I wanna wish you happy birthday now 
  Happy birthday now
 
 
  Chorus

  Fa - mi   -   ly   delight 
     F#
  At night 
 
 
  Verse 2
  Little sister, such a precious pearl 
  Why don’t you let me show you to the world 
  You hold a power to enslave me 
  A brand new flower here to save me now
  Here to save me now

К слову, припев-то оказался совсем не таким простым, каким я его всегда воспринимал. Если сыграть просто аккорды, чем-то их последовательность напоминает бой старинных часов.
