[Verse 1]
G                     Am
Pretty little hairdo, don't do what it used to
C                                                       G
Can't disguise the living, all the miles that you've been through
G                            Am
Looking like a train wreck, wearing too mauch make-up
C                                                          G
The burder that you carry is more than one soul could ever bear
 
[Chorus]
     Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
G                       D
There's another part to play
     Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
Em                   A    C                   G
Save it for a rainy day, Save it for a rainy day
 
[Verse 2]
     G                        Am
You never make your mind up, like driving with your eyes shut
C                                                           G
Rough around the edges, won't someone come and take you home?
G                                Am
Waiting for a breakthrough, what will you set your mind to?
   C                                           G
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant in the rain
 
[Chorus]
  Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
G                       D
There's another part to play
     Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
Em                   A    C                   G
Save it for a rainy day, Save it for a rainy day
 
[Harmonica Solo]
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
[Chorus]
     Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
G                       D
There's another part to play
     Am                C
(So sad) Don't look so sad Marina
Em                   A    C                   G
Save it for a rainy day, Save it for a rainy day

Good job :-) It's certainly easier to play capo'd, but GL plays it with open with barre chords and alternative shapes. I have one correction for the riff he plays: [tab] e |------------------ B |---3-3-3-3-1-1-3-3 G |------------------ x 2 D |--5-5-4-4-2-2-4-4- A |------------------ E |------------------ IV [/tab] or in open position (how GL plays it) [tab] e ||---2-2-2-2-0-0-2-2 B ||------------------ G ||--4-4-3-3-1-1-3-3- x 2 D ||------------------ A ||------------------ E ||------------------ [/tab]

Wow, that sounded really good, Thanks for the post!!! This song is one of my all time fave :)

They play this song in B without a capo. Transpose the chords 4 staps higher and than you have the right chords just like the JayHawks play it. Good luck, KeesGroenteboer from Holland
