Round of Blues (Shawn Colvin - Larry Klein)
I was watching Shawn Colvin on Austin City Limits and was able to figure
out Round of Blues, which, granted, wasn't all that hard. She plays it
capoed at the 6th fret. At that key, the chords for the verses and
bridge are just C, D, and G and for the chorus are F, G, and C. (I
didn't notice if the other players were capoed; I was too busy paying
attention to what she was doing.)
capo 6th fret
C D G
Here we go again
C D G
Another round of blues
C D G
Several miles ago
C D G
I set down my angel shoes
On a lost highway
For a better view
Now in my mind's eye
All roads lead to you
Chorus:
F
So wherever you go
G C
You better take care of me
F
This time
G C
If you're gonna go
F G C
Remember me and all
F
This time
We had our bitter cheer
And sweet sorrow
We lost a lot today
We get it back tomorrow
I hear the sound of wheels
I know the rainbow's end
I see lights in a fat city
I feel love again
Chorus
Bridge:
C
All this time
G
I been makin' deals
D
Shades of black and white
G
On a Hollywood reel
C
All this time
G
I been missing
D
Something so real, so real
C
All this time
G
I been a face in a crowd
D
Now I'm living in color
G
And laughing out loud
C
All these names
G
For just foolin' around
D
It's a new breakthrough
It's an old breakdown
We smoked a lot of hope
We did our cryin', too
We're finally waking up
To what a real love can do
Down a lost highway
Under the twilight moon
A chorus in your eyes
Another round of blues
Chorus
C
We had all
F
This time
C
We had all
F
This time
(Lyrics from cd-sleeve)
Personally, I like the sound when I capo on the 1st fret and transpose
it down, which makes the chords F, G, and C (verses and bridge)
and Bb, C, and F (chorus), i.e.,
capo 1st fret
F G C
Here we go again
F G C
Another round of blues
...
Chorus:
Bb
So wherever you go
C F
You better take care of me
Bb
This time
C F
If you're gonna go
...
Bridge:
F
All this time
C
I been makin' deals
G
Shades of black and white
C
On a Hollywood reel
F
All this time
C
I been missing
G
Something so real, so real

Here's the intro: there's a synth chord that sustains for a while, and then you
play (remembering the capo) the following twice, with some syncopation on the last part the second time
The last chord is (I think) Fdim(9), which is the root, minor third, diminished 5th, and major 9th
This chord is used in other places throughout the rest of the song (Texts of songs ).

The following section uses the C-D-Em chord progression, _not_ C-D-G!!!!!
|> On a lost highway
|> For a better view
|> Now in my mind's eye
This last line sits on one chord, which is a form of C(9)/G, played as
--6--
--7--
--6--
--6--
--9--
--9--
|> All roads lead to you

|> Chorus:

|> F

Try this for the chorus instead:
C/G Fdim(9)
So wherever you go
G Am
You'd better take care of me
Fdim(9)
This time
Fdim(9)/E Dm
If you're gonna go
G Am
Remember me and all
Fdim(9)
This time
Play the Fdim(9)/E as
--9--
--6--
--7--
--8--

-----big cut right here - play verse and chorus as above-----
|> Bridge:
|> C
|> All this time
|> G
|> I been makin' deals
|> D
|> Shades of black and white
|> G
|> On a Hollywood reel
|> C
|> All this time
|> G
|> I been missing
|> D
|> Something so real, so real
|> C
|> All this time
|> G
|> I been a face in a crowd
|> D
|> Now I'm living in color
|> G
|> And laughing out loud
Play Em instead of G on the above line
|> C
|> All these names
|> G
|> For just foolin' around
|> D
|> It's a new breakthrough
|> It's an old breakdown
The rest of the song (Texts of songs ) is repeats of the above verses and chorus, so play them accordingly.
Let me know if you have any questions, or if you take issue with anything I've written here.
