Bella's Birthday Cake Chords

(ver. 1)
Five For Fighting
I recommend tuning down a half-step so you can use alternate fingerings for
some of the chords.  I mean, who plays an Eb bar chord anyways?  Suggested
fingerings are A#dim - {X12320} and B/F# - {224442}

Tuning: Eb-Ab-C#-F#-Bb-Eb

Intro: C#m

Verse: C#m   B          E            F#     C#m       B           Bbdim
       Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year

    A              B           E            D
and took a certain liking to a fella there, Bella

    A                  B                E           D 
She said I brought her back to some old better man, fella

F#                   Ab   A
Bella she was born today, feeling kinda spry...


Chorus: C#m       A         E      B
        Bella's Birthday Cake was burning, yeah
        Like Lightning,     Like Fire
        Bella's Birthday Cake was burning... 

(Intro)(Verse)(Chorus)

Break: {C#m  A  E  B}  x2

Bridge: F#              B               F#               B          (B7)
     And all of her lines she left unread, spirits and battles won, she said

Ab              C#m              B                   Bbdim
and over her mountain tops she ground me off where...I can't remember...

(Break)

Reprise: C#m  B          E             F#     C#m       B            Bbdim
        Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year

F#                    Ab  A
Bella she was born today...


"Bella!": {C#m  A  E  B}  x 4

(Chorus) ad nauseum

Lyrics
Verse: Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year
Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella
She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry 

Chorus: Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Like Lightning, Like Fire
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning... 

Verse: Bella made her bed in red every loneliest night of the year
Tied me to the rages of her rocking chair - Bella
Fed me quiet offer through her ever wares - I'll tell ya
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry 

Chorus: Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Like Lightning, Like Fire
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Ever yearning Forest Fire 

Bridge: and all of her lines she left unread
"spirits and battles won," she said
and over her mountain tops she ground me off
where...I can't remember... 

Reprise: Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year
Bella she was born today... 

Chorus: BELLA'S Birthday Cake was burning
Bella's BIRTHDAY Cake was burning
Bella's Birthday CAKE was burning
Bella's Birthday Cake was BURNING...50 years gone.


*[on a personal note, i first heard this song on a promotional cd for
Surge, that green soda from the 90's.  Surge no longer exists, and this
the Sims. Enjoy!]
