Enjoy!
[C]Nights at Armour [Dm]Mansion
[C]The palace of the [F]hills
There were [C]debut kinds of [Dm]fashion
With no[C]torious [A#]girls
I s[C]aw your lady [Dm]dancin'
(She's soakin' li[C]quor in her spi[F]ne)
And that f[C]ellow she's ro[Dm]mancin'
He's a G[C]atsbian g[A#]uy
(Prechorus)
[C]I know I told you I'd look a[Dm]fter her*
But I've [F]got these (girly tail-ends/curly fee[A#]lins)? on my mind
[C]And yeah I'm acting rather r[Dm]adical
F A# A#add9** A#
C Dm***
But I'm living up the magic of the time
So I'm (still st[C]ancing)? on the b[Dm]alcony
C F****
A fake drunk (and temporary amused)?
And I can't get much h[C]igher than h[Dm]im, I can't get much higher than him
Without (a [C]full slapping s[A#]hoe)?
Your l[C]ady is ad[Dm]vancin'
She speaks the w[C]isdom of c[F]hampagne
She's s[C]ays she's u[Dm]ndesicive
And then takes a s[C]hot to her b[A#]rain
(Chorus)x2
She says w[F]on't you take me when I let you take me a[A#]way
I'll let you break me*****
[Dm]And don't you waste me when I let you take me aw[A#]ay
I'll let you take me, [C]why don't you take me?
(Bridge riff)******
[C]Nights at Armour [Dm]Mansion
(Your flawed fashion l[C]eaves too h[F]igh to wave)?
She h[C]olds her love for r[Dm]ansom
When she kn[C]ows that you'll [A#]pay
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)x2
* During this Dm, F, A# progression, the guitar is more noticeable than the piano, so I
try to play it.
I think he arpeggios the lower few strings, ending each beat with the first fret on the
little e string.
** I think A#add9 sounds good like this:
e|---1-----| B|---1-----| G|---3-----| D|---3-----| A|---1-----| E|---------|
*** At this Dm, the piano seems to cut out (although just playing the chords still
sounds fine) and a guitar
starts an arpeggio until the chorus that goes like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------2-----2---------2-----2---------2-----2---------2-----2------------------------------| D|--0-3---0-3---0-3-0-3---0-3---0-3---3---0-3---0-3-0-3---0-3---0-3--------------------------| A|----------------------------------3--------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
^Repeat from here at each C until the one followed
by A# which does this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------2-----3---------3-----3--------------------------------------------------------------| D|----3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3----------------------------------------------------------| A|--3-----1-----1---1-----1-----1------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
****Sounds cool to do what the bass does at this F while holding the chord by doing a repeated
hammer on/pull off from 0 to 1 on big E string with your index finger
***** At this point I throw in another A#add9 to match what the guitar does in the background.
Sorry I didn't feel like tabbing the whole riff throughout the chorus. Unless someone
really wants me to:))
