Sad Lisa by Cat Stevens - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Cat Stevens Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            Try fingerpicking this song & arpagiate most of the chords. I
orniment the Em chord in the Intro & Break so that it follows the melody
of the song like (022000  022002  022003  022002  022000  022002  022003).
Then I play the D-Chord that follows & orniment that chord by hammering
on the high E-string like (x00232->3->2) before playing the C-chord. 


[Intro]  

Em   D   C   D   Em   D   G   G   D   Em   A     Em   A   B   Em


[Verse 1]

     Em                              D C
She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
     D       Em        D  G
She must be hurt very badly.
         (G)    D          Em   A
Tell me what's making you sad, Li?
Em         A           D           C
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
        D           Em             D    G
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me.
            (G)   D            Em   A
'Cause you know that's how it must be.
 Em      A      B7      Em
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.


[Break]
                               
Instrumental ornamentation in Em
(explained above)
                                         (Lisa Lisa...Sad Lisa Lisa)
Em  D    C    D    Em    D    G    G    D    Em    A     Em           A          B          Em


[Verse 2]
    Em                            D C
Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
  D       Em           D  G
Upon her pain getting deeper.
          (G)   D          Em    A
Though my love wants to relieve her.
     Em     A         D       C
She walks alone from wall to wall.
 D         Em              D    G
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me.
          (G)      D           Em   A
Though I know she likes to be near me.
 Em      A      B7      Em
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.


[Verse 3]

     Em                      D C
She sits in a corner by the door.
       D       Em         D    G
There must be more I can tell her.
       (G)     D           Em   A
If she really wants me to help her.
     Em         A       D           C
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
     D         Em          D   G
And maybe one day I will free her.
          (G)    D        Em  A
Though I know no one can see her.
 Em      A      B7      Em
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
