Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - PARTNER FOR LIFE

This is reported to be played with open tuning but what tuning 

exactly  I don't know. I have created a simple version which

gets me by. It involves sliding the Cadd 9 up but leaving

the other strings open. In the chorus there is a flourish

which I play as Em9 054030 and Em7(2) 050430 to get back

to the G  

 

Intro: G repeated to get the rhythm

 

G                

From China to Chinatown New York to Tokyo 

          030010      050030         

C          Cadd9       Em7 

Upstate to down Island From here to there 

 

From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces 

From the steel mills to the wind in your hair 

From the claustrophobic beat of my heart 

to the openness of your smile 

We're in this together going the distance 

right down to the last mile

 

CHORUS

G 

Cos you're my partner You are my partner 

C                          Em9  Em7 Em9

You're my partner for life

 

                      (twice, then  twice with just chords)

 

Up the coast of Africa to the Straits of Gibraltar 

through that tunnel where the birds migrate 

In a hotel room without running water 

and all the clocks are running one hour late 

And on the wall are paintings of couples intertwined 

locked in embraces as if fighting for their lives 

And the warm night air breathes through the open window 

And husbands cling to their wives

 

CHORUS repeat

 

BRIDGE

       050050

        Em7(3)       Em7                                         

Well I know I know I know 

                       030010        030030

         C             Cadd9         Cadd9(2)     

why it just has to be just has to be 

 

Well l know l know l know why 

I'm with you and baby you're with me

 

Let's get out of here and drive up to the ocean 

Out of the city and up the coast of Maine 

Feel the spray and the ancient motion 

Watch the children in the sand watch them play 

From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces 

From the pounding of the surf 

to the gentleness of your smile 

We're in this together going the distance 

right down to the last mile

 

CHORUS repeat
