My first try to make a cover of jason mraz great song wordplay. I try to experiment with my voice now after I been singing for almost 4 months and want to learn to take higher notes and have my vocie open up better. So before you go ahead and flame, I know I am ut of tune! :D
But its a learning in progress. And I dont mind sharing the bad parts along with the good ones. :D
Enjoy!
The chords I am using as well as the text.
Some chords are missing, but you figure it out im sure. :)
Intro: G - C9 - D (x2)
Verse: Em G Am7 Em
I've been all around the world G
I've been a new sensation Am7
But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation Em G
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle Am7
And someone said they knew my scene Em
Cause they need a new song like a new religion
G
Music for the television
Am7
I can't do the long division someone do the math Em G
The record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Am7
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
Pre-chorus: Em G Em
So I drop my top mix and I mingle
Am7
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
Chorus:
G C9 D Dsus4
Ah la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I lay
G C9 D Dsus4
Ah la la la love...it's all about the wordplay
G C9 D
Ah la la la love
D
The wonderful thing it does because because
Em D/F#
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's C9
Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay
Verse 2: Em
And it's time to get ill I got your remedy G Am7
For those who don't remember me well let me introduce you to my style
Em G
I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble Am7
When the music's making people tongue-tied Em
You want a new song like a new religion
G
Music for the television
Am7
I can't do the long division someone do the math Em G
For the people write me off like I'm a one hit wonder
Am7
Gotta find another way to keep from going under
Pre-chorus 2: Em G Em
Pull out the stops
(no chord)
Got your attention
Am7
I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay... (Chorus)
Bridge:
F#m7
Oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness B
It always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going Em D C
Oh the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and I'm curving till I'm
out of air
F#m7
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
B
Are you listening to a single word I've said?
Chorus: (just guitar)
G C9 D
Ah la la la love
Dsus4
Listen closer to the words I say
G C9 D
Ah la la love
Dsus4
We're sticking to the wordplay
G C9 D
Ah la la la love
D
The wonderful thing it does because because
Em D/F#
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's C9
Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay
Final Chorus: (full band)
G C9 D
Ah la la la love

G C9 D
Ah la la la love
Dsus4
Sticking with the wordplay
