Artist/Band: McKenna Lori Tabs
Song: Lorraine Tab
Dropped D
Capo V
Asus4: x02230
The main hook to this song is a riff Lori does off the D chord that anchors the song. It's a simple hammering-on of the second fret of the E string, then another on the third fret (hanging on what becomes a Dsus4 chord). For purposes of simplicity I'm not going to indicate them in the transcription -- I'll just refer to it as a D -- but play along with the CD and you'll see what I mean.
Intro: D, D (hammer on E string, second fret), Dsus4 (000233) . . . 2x
(D)The kitchen smells like orange peels
Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel
Put the (G)baby down in her little seat
You should (D)rest now momma, you should eat
(Asus4)It ain’t right you been working all day
And (G)all us kids getting in your way
So she (D)goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's (A)clean (Asus4)
That don’t mean a thing to you, but it does to (D)me
(D)Well I don’t know if this part is true
How memories lie, sometimes they do
But I can (G)see her in our living room
With a (D)smile on her face as she’s dancing to
(Asus4)Judy Garland, Carnegie Hall, (G)Sunday April 23rd
She said her (D)cousin had a balcony (A)seat (Asus4)
That don’t mean a thing to you, but it does to (D)me
(Bm)Oh Lord, am I (A)good enough (Asus4)
(Bm)When this world spins as (Ausu4)hard as it does
And we (G)both know how it shakes some people (D)up (Asus4)
So how did (G)you decide to give me so much (D)love
(D)Well she never said a word to me
About dying, about how she’d leave
In (G)all her pain she would never cry
Me and my (D)best friend Tina would ride our bikes
From (Asus4)Lelland Road up Daily Drive
We took a (G)paper route one summer time
Tina’s (D)mom said I was part of the fami(A)ly (Asus4)
That don’t mean a thing to you but it does to (D)me
(Bm)Oh Lord, am I (A)good enough (Asus4)
(Bm)When this world spins as (Asus4)hard as it does
And we (G)both know how it shakes some people (D)up (Asus4)
So how did (G)you decide to give me so much (D)love, (Asus4)love
So much (G)love, so much (D)love (Asus4)
(D)Love, (Asus4)love, you give me so much (G)love
So much (D)love
(D)No one’s had a bigger say
In who I am today
And I (G)swear I’ve tried to be worthy of
The (D)name they gave me when I was young
But I (Asus4)ain’t that pretty, I ain’t that brave
My (G)kids have seen me cry
They should have (D)given her name to my sister Ma(A)rie (Asus4)
That don’t mean a thing to you
That don't mean a thing to (G)you
But it does to (D)me
