Chords for Shawn Colvin on the Today Show!

[G] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ As you know by now, this is Savannah's first morning as co-anchor and we all know that
she often tells us, she tells us a lot actually, that she is multi-talented.
Yes, [Gb] yes.
And one of those talents includes playing guitar. _ _
_ _ _ [B] I started playing when I was in my early 20s.
My mom bought me a little guitar and I picked it up and learned a few [N] chords.
I taught myself how to play guitar and it shows.
_ I love Shawn Colvin, her early stuff.
She is one of the best guitar players and she has a beautiful voice.
She sings like an angel but people don't talk about it as much.
She is a really good guitar player.
She's amazing.
In fact, you love Shawn Colvin so much you put meeting her at the top of your bucket list.
That's true.
When we recently talked about bucket lists.
As we do from time to time.
So, let's cross it off.
Let's cross it off the list.
First, let's bring in Shawn Colvin.
There she is.
Hi Shawn.
Nice to see you.
Hi Savannah.
_ Oh my God. _
I love you.
I love you too.
Go sit down.
Have a seat.
I cannot believe this.
Yeah, well I heard you play guitar and I thought, you know.
No, I don't.
You play guitar.
[Bb] I just fool around.
I think you should play guitar with me.
I think that would be a whole different thing.
Yeah.
Talk about a little hazing around here Savannah.
I think that was part of the bucket list Savannah.
You play.
I think it's awkward.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You play.
I think it's a whole different thing.
I think I've [C] tuned it for you.
I know the song we're going to play.
What?
I don't.
Yes, you do.
It's the one you learned.
It's the one you taught [Am] Natalie. Natalie.
[Cm] Oh, I tried.
Did I put it on the right pick?
I mean the right fret?
Oh my.
We're trying to take this bracelet off.
Hold on.
I'm not taking my bracelet off.
Hold on.
This is really [A] huge.
Are you just playing?
I'll pretend to play.
[Bb] No, that's not [Am] the way.
You got to start it in fact.
Oh God.
Oh, I'm petrified.
Okay, here we go.
We should say this is a Bob Dylan song and [F] Savannah knows it very well.
[C] _ _ Here we go.
[G] Oh, I got to get my _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] blazer off before I sing.
I hear you.
[G] _
[C] You're going to sing with me, aren't you?
_ _ [Am] I've seen love so far and I don't Never been [F] this close [C] before
Never been so easy [G] or so slow _ [Am] I've been shooting in without two [F] arms
Something's not right, it's [C] wrong You're going to make [G] me lonesome [C] when you go
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C]
You can make me cry, but you [G] don't know. _
[Am] Don't remember when I was picking on.
[F] You might be spoiled with too [C] much love.
You're gonna make [G] me [C] lonesome when you go.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [F] I'm dying.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] Isn't she great?
[Am] Terrific.
Impressive.
Shawn, you just sing it out, girl.
You [F] just don't have to [C] listen to me.
You can do it.
I [G] think_
Actually, [C] should we put her out of her misery a little bit and let her relax for a second?
And would you do us a favor and play a song from [Dm] your new album that's coming [C] out?
Could we do that?
So first of all, for Savannah.
Yeah.
Very nice.
Thank you.
Oh, my.
I'm so proud to be here.
I've got to switch guitars because I do a different [Eb] tuning.
I should be in my pajamas because I'm obviously dreaming right now.
_ Oh, I need your pick.
Oh, here you go.
All right.
She needs my pick.
I do.
That's what we do.
Dude.
[Bb] Man.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Not [Bb] quite in tune, but_
This is a song from _ my new record.
_ _ _ I probably know at least 12 of all the songs that I do, so_
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, here I come.
_ _ _ It's just I don't [Fm] know [Eb] better.
_ _ _ [Bb] I'm a thief and a sinner.
_ _ [Eb] _ And I'm a fool and a dead.
_ _ _ You got your push in the numbers.
_ _ _ [Bb] You got your push in the [Eb] blue.
_ _ And [Bb] what's lucky to [Eb] some _ _ is [Bb] breaking even [Fm] to [Eb] you.
_ _ _ And we [Ab] all fall [Eb] down.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] All fall [Eb] down.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] All fall down.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ Well, I don't [Bbm] understand [Eb] why.
_ _ And I may never know.
_ _ But I believe in love.
_ _ [Bb] I'd like to swallow it [Eb] all.
_ _ How come the best of them wind up sweeping dirt off the street?
[Bb] The [Eb] worst of them end up right back up on their feet.
I got [Bb] a heart full of blood and [Eb] muscle and feeling, but [Bb] I'm flat on my_
[Eb] Staring up at the sea.
[Bb] And we all [Ab] fall down.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] All fall down.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _
[Bb] All fall down.
_ [Eb] _ _ All fall down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And if I've seen [Fm] it [Eb] once, _ _ [Bb] I've seen it time and again.
[Eb] _ _ _ Don't [Bb] know where you're going.
[Ab] Don't know [Eb] where you are.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ All [Bb] [Ab] fall [Eb] down.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] [Ab] All _
[Eb] _ _ fall_
_ [Bb] [Ab] All fall [Eb] down.
