You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were

the original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)

 

This is the intro:

Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

 

Em

Reading Judy Blume

 

A

But you came too soon

 

Em G

You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

 

Em Bm

They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends

 

Am D

Don't be scared of the books you've read

 

Em A

You're the heroine, you'll be doing fine

 

 

C

Wouldn't you like to get away?

 

G

Bestowing the memory of good and evil

 

D

On the ones you left behind

 

The heartless swine

 

A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em

 

G

And you love like nobody around you

 

Em Bm

How you love, and a halo surrounds you

In the Autumn cool say cheerio to school

Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately

 

Em Bm

If I said all these things you would hate me

 

Am D

Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

 

Em A

At the Church bazaar I nearly went too far

 

 

C

Wouldn't you like to get away

 

G

Kerouac's beckoning with open arms

 

D Em

And open fields of eucalyptus westward bound

 

C

Wouldn't you like to get away

 

G

Give yourself up to the allure of

 

D

Catcher In The Rye

 

Em

The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes
