Stevie Chords

Stevie - Lisa Mitchell
 
Most of this song is fingerpicked but there is strumming in the chorus.
 
[Intro]
| D   | D   | D   | D   |
 
[Verse]
F#m          G           D
Stevie was a connoisseur
F#m       G           D
Everybody wanted to be her
    F#m                  G                 D    D/C# Bm
She chose her friends as carefully as she chose her  words
D            Bm            A
  She was so sure about it all
 
[Verse]
    F#m          G         D
Oh, Stevie was a hero once
    F#m                G             D
Had all the things I'd never touched
    F#m               G              D   D/C#  Bm
She wrote in sterling silver with a ballpoint pen
D          Bm         A
  Cold blooded chameleon
 
[Chorus]
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
         Bm  A  D
You're a god to me
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
         Bm  A  D
You're a god to me
 
[Verse]
F#m           G        D
Stevie was an ice maiden
F#m              G       D
Not sure really worth saving
F#m          G                D    D/C#    Bm
Alcatraz has nothing on her after all this time
D                  Bm               A
  Still a dead-end search behind those eyes
 
[Verse]
    F#m                  G     D
Oh, Stevie where are you going to
              F#m               G           D
Oh, you're as tight lipped as a bottle, all screwed
F#m            G             D D/C#     Bm
If I had the chance to peer inside your mind
D                Bm           A
  Give up your mystery, oh, I'd think twice
 
[Chorus]
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
         Bm  A  D
You're a god to me
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
         Bm  A  D
You're a god to me
 
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
G                                                D
  Tea-leaves in the cup, you're a good friend of mine
G                                        D
  How the sober are thirsty for the sweet wine
G                                           D     Am
  Now that Stevie has locked her keys in her mind
G                                    D    Am
  Got to open up, lay herself on the line   (lay herself on the line)
 
G                                                D    Am
 Tea-leaves in the cup, you're a good friend of mine
G                                        D    Am
  How the sober are thirsty for the sweet wine
G                                           D     Am
  Now that Stevie has locked her keys in her mind    (in her mind)
G                                   D    Am
 Got to open up, lay herself on the line    (lay herself on the line)
 
G                                               D     Am
 Tea-leaves in the cup, you're a good friend of mine
G                                       D
  How the sober are thirsty for the sweet wine 
 
[Chorus]
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
         Bm  A  D
You're a god to me
    Bm  A G
Oh, Ste-e-vie,
    Bm  A D
oh, Ste-e-vie
    Bm    A   G
Why can't you see
    Bm   A     D
Oh, give in to me
