Grease - Freddy My Love
Originally in Db, I play in E
Get the vox ready for “flipped over that gray cashmere sweater”,
and also think hard about how serious you are about the melody in
the bridge. It’s rhythmically simple, but melodically wild. Plan
on a class-II train wreck in the bridge.
B7B6B+B7
Vox start on the 1
EFreddy my Emaj7love, I miss you Amore than words can B7say
Vox on the 7 of the chord on “touch”, down to the 3 of the chord on “way”
EFreddy my Emaj7love, please keep in C#7sus4touch while you’re aC#7way
F#m7Hearing from F#m7b5you can make the B7day so much better
G#mGetting a G#m7b5/Dsouvenir or C#7sus4maybe a C#7letter
Vox up to the 3 of the chord on “flipped”, which is awkward,
then on the 5 on “gray”, which is not awkward.
Hard stop on “sweater”
F#m7I really Am/Dflipped over the E/Bgray cashmere Asweater
Freddy my Elove, Freddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my B7love
EFreddy you Emaj7know, your absence Amakes me feel so B7blue
EThat’s okay Emaj7though, your presents C#7sus4make me think of C#7you
F#m7My ma will F#m7b5have a heart atB7tack when she catches
G#mThose pedal G#m7b5/Dpushers with the C#7sus4black leather C#7patches
F#m7Oh how I Am/Dwish I had a E/Bjacket that Amatches
Freddy my Elove, Freddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my E7love
Vox on 3 1 of the first chord (“keep your”), then
1 5 of the second (“from me”).
That sets the tone, although this bridge is super-complicated to sing. Just hit
the high 3 of the chord on “mind” at the end and it will be OK.
Don’t Akeep your letters B7from me, I G#mthrill to every Eline
Your Am7spelling’s kinda B7crummy, but Emhoney so is Emmine
I F#m7b5treasure every B7+5giftiB7e, the Emring is really A7nifty
You Dmaj7say it cost you C#m7fifty, so you’re F#m7thrifty, I don’t B7mind
Woah, oh, oh, Eoh, Freddy you Emaj7see, you’ll hold me Ain your arms someB7day
EAnd I will Emaj7be wearing your C#7sus4lacy lingeC#7rie
F#m7Thinking aF#m7b5bout it, my heart’s B7pounding already
G#mKnowing when G#m7b5/Dyou come home, we’re C#7sus4bound to go C#7steady
F#m7And throw your Am/Dservice pay aE/Bround like conAfetti
Freddy my Elove, Freddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my B7love
EFreddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my B7love
EFreddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my B7love
EFreddy my Emaj7love, Freddy my Alove, Freddy my B7love
