POOR OLD LU Lu Intervue
    NOTE: The chords that appear are not sent to me from the band: I simply listened to a song and wrote down the chords that I found to be the most likely choice. I've never taken a lesson in my life, so take it with a grain of salt.

    p.s. Don't worry, there are more chords coming.

To Be Awake

Tune all your strings up a half step. This seems to be the convention for most of Poor old Lu's songs.

(Verse 1)

E                C    Cma7
Well I'm a happy man

Cma7      A7   Aa7      A7     G#7   
So will I ever speak my mind

E               C     Cma7
But I know that we 

Cma7 A7      Aa7     A7    G#7
just haven't got the time

(Chorus)

D2   C     B7    
OOOOOOhhhhhhhh  yeah yeah

D2         C              B7
To be awake, to be ashamed, will you?

D2         C              B7           G#7
To be awake, to be ashamed, will you?

(Verse 2)

E                   C        Cma7
This world wants to drown me with 

Cma7 A7          Aa7     A7      G#7
the things it's thinking of

E                      C      Cma7
So now I don't want to see or breathe 

Cma7 A7            Aa7     A7    G#7
in this place that cannot love

E                   C        Cma7
And I would rather lose my life 

Cma7 A7          Aa7     A7      G#7
than to ever, ever lose my mind

E                      C      Cma7
But in this world, in this land

Cma7 A7            Aa7     A7    G#7
It's our thoughts that we cannot find

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(VERSE 3)

E             C     Cma7
So you see me run away

Cma7    A7         Aa7  A7      G#7
And you wonder why I am scared

E                           C       Cma7
Well, I just can't help but think about 

Cma7 A7                    Aa7   A7    G#7
the  things of which we're not aware

(REPEAT CHORUS)

In Love With The Greenery
If you want this one to work, you're gonna have to tune all your strings down a whole step.


(Verse 1)
Em
You said, "I love the world"

   C                Em
"I love what you've done for me"

C               Em
you let my grip go

    D2           Em
And played the piano keys

Em
Couldn't even see

      C       Em
Boxed in my a fantasy

C              Em
Scared of real love

       D2           Em
You're dead by your destiny

    Em
Now shuffling around

C              Em
Shaking like a tambourine

   C              Em
Confused like the tide

   D2          Em
By every star you've seen

(Chorus)

G               Am7
You took on the world

C                 G    D2
It took you by surprise

G                Am7
Like the day you fell

    C                  G   D2
And tears fell from my eyes

(Verse 2)

Em
Standing so tall

           C           Em
You said, "Yes I'll salute you King"

C          Em
Lost in a forest

   D2              Em
In love with the greenery

Em
Apart from the crowd

C             Em        C            Em
Never caught looking around for a scene
     D2                  Em
Like loneliness you're sinking

Em
I cried of your sin

    C      Em           C              Em
And every other thing that held you down

D2        Em
Down so far from me

(Repeat Chorus)

Em
Take diamonds right now

      C         Em
But I promise eternity

     C               Em
Take diamonds right now

      D2         Em
But I promise eternity
