Down To You

Down to you.   Tuning EADGBE  by Stephen Sevda

This is NOT a cover for guitar of the faithful piano version as transcribed by
Dave Blackburn/ Michael Dunn, just a simplified interpretation. Prior knowledge
of the rhythm, timing and melody of the song is assumed. Much of this is my own
arrangement.

D/F♯       Gmaj7     A
Everything comes and goes
          G          G/A       D
Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
D/F♯            Gmaj7    
Things that you held high
    A
And told yourself were true
        G               G/A               D
Lost or changing as the days come down to you
        A    E  Gmaj7
Down to you

Constant stranger
         G/A
You're a kind person
         Bm7
You're a cold person too
             A   E   G
It's down to you
   D              E       Esus4  E  Fmaj7b5/E  Dm7
It all comes down to you.
            D      c
You go down to the pick up station
                          Csus2  C
Craving warmth and beauty
    Dm7        D          C
You settle for less than fascination
                                        Csus2  C
A few drinks later you're not so choosy
         Dm7            D             C
When the closing lights strip off the shadows
                                       Csus2 C
On this strange new flesh you've found
Dm7           D                   C
Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
Csus2  C
You hurry
Csus2  C
To the blackness
Csus2  C
And the blankets
Csus2 C  Csus2  C
To lay down an impression
Csus2    A7sus4
On your loneliness
D/F♯                     Gmaj7
In the morning there are lovers in the street
     A
They look so high
                    G
You brush against a stranger
        G/A       D
And you both apologize
D/F♯             Gmaj7
Old friends seem indifferent
    A
You must have brought that on
    G                 G/A
Old bonds have broken down
Am7     D      Em7   D
Love is gone
C    Em7     A
Ooh, love is gone
                D           C♯m
Written on your spirit this sad song
F  G[2]     C[2]  G/C
    Love is gone

Repeat intro x2

D/F♯       Gmaj7     A
Everything comes and goes
                      G
Pleasure moves on too early
    G/A                D
And trouble leaves too slow
D/F♯             Gmaj7
Just when you're thinking
       A
You've finally got it made
    G
Bad news comes knocking
G/A            D
At your garden gate
             A   E   Gmaj7
Knocking for you

Constant stranger
         G/A
You're a brute-you're an angel
        Bm7
You can crawl-you can fly too
             A
It's down to you
                  E   Esus4  E  Esus4  E
It all comes down to you


The D/F♯ and Gmaj7 chords I play the bass with my thumb and try to emphasise the bass run F♯, G, A.
I left out the solo interlude. A beautiful song. Play and enjoy.
