Chords for King Crimson - Book Of Saturday (AltTake) [50th Anniversary | Larks' Tongues In Aspic 2012 Editon]

_ _ [D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[G] Book of Saturday, an alternative take from the Larke Stungsin-Aspic 40th Anniversary [F#] Edition.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [Am] Several times in this series we've used early recordings of well-known pieces.
They tend to [Gm] be unadorned with overdubs and can often have an [F#] intimate appeal.
That's undoubtedly the case with this version of Book of Saturday.
_ _ In fact, anyone who has heard the [G] Keep That One Nick CD will know that the recording sessions for Larke Stungsin-Aspic
are a veritable [F#] treasure trove of interesting outtakes.
[A#] _ _ [A] But even the main takes [C] themselves often hide secrets, such as the beautiful piano part on [D] the alternative mix of Exiles,
which opened this commentary. _ _
[Bm] In fact, we were tempted at the very last minute to [Am] switch the version of Book of Saturday
[C] to an alternative [D] mix of the main album version, which [C] only surfaced recently
when we were sent a series of tapes from [D] John Whetton's archives.
_ [C] Too many choices!
We'll have to do [E] the KC-100 series.
_ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _
But this [Bm] version, which is just Robert Fripp [E] on guitar and John Whetton on vocals,
recorded at [B] Command Studios in early 1973, [E] remains the perfect choice.
It has a [Bm] rare poignancy.
_ _ So here it is, an early version of Book of Saturday [F#] from the Larke Stungsin-Aspic 40th Anniversary release. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Am]
Forgetting the game, every [A] time I try to leave [Am] you, you laugh just the same
Cos my wheels never [C] touch the road, and the jumble [D] of lives we told
Just returns to my back [C] to weigh me [B] down
We lay cards upon [B] the table, the backs of our hands, [Em] and I swear I like your [Dm] people
The boys in the band, [D] reminiscence has gone astray
Coming back to [Am] enjoy the fray, in a [Dm] tangle of night and [F#] daylight sounds
[E] _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, completeness in the morning, [Dm] asleep on your [E] side
I'll [A] be waking up the crewmen, [Dm] banana boat ride
She [F] responds like a limousine, [A] brought alive on a silent screen
To the shuddering breath [C] of [B] yesterday
It's [Am] a battle for the [Am] needy, and the needy are the ones who die
Incredible [G] scenes, there's a [A] future to believe in
[Dm] Your life and death dreams, as the cavalry of despair
Takes a [Dm] stand in the ladies' [D] hair, for the favour of making sweet [E] sixteen
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [A] Thanks for watching!
