Late Night Maudlin Street Chords ================================== The verse pattern alternates the root notes twice for example and then play it open (strum) - you do this twice and switch to: third fret (strum) and then play F# on the second fret (Strum) - twice again. on the chorus before returning to the verse the F note first string adds a nice effect. The last bars of the song are mostly guitar effects and so I tried to fit in some chords that you can use over them but it’s not very accurate...if all else fails you can fade with the verse. The song sounds quite nice on acoustic with a gentle singing tone. It is a phenomenal song it should prove Morrissey’s excellence as an artist.

I never stole a happy hour Around here Where the world’s ugliest boy Became what you see Here I am - the ugliest man Oh the last night on Maudlin Street Truly I do love you Oh truly I do love you When I sleep With that picture of you framed beside my bed Oh it’s childish and it’s silly But I think it’s you in my room by the bed (...yes I told you it was silly...) Em Bm7 And I know I took strange pills But I never meant to hurt you Oh truly I love you Came home late one night Everyone had gone to bed But you know no-one stays up for you I had sixteen stitches All around my head Em Bm7 Oh the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street So he drove me home in the Van Complaining "Women only like me for my mind..." CCamj7 Don’t leave your torch behind A power cut ahead; 1972 you know And so we crept through the park No I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline For you But you ... without clothes Oh I could not keep a straight face Me - without clothes ? Well a nation turns its back and gags... I’m packed I am moving house A half-life disappears today With "every hag waves me on" (secretly wishing me gone) Well I will be soon Ooh I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon Will be soon I will be soon Mmm ... I will be soon I will be soon There were bad times on Maudlin Street They took you away in a police car Inspector - don’t you know ? Don’t you care ? Don’t you know - about Love ? Your gran died And your mother died On Maudlin Street In pain and ashamed With never time to say those special things ... oh I took the key from Maudlin Street Well it’s only bricks and mortar ! Oh oh truly I love you Oh wherever you are Wherever you are Wherever you are I hope you’re singing now Oh I do hope I hope you’re singing now Oh ...
