Book & A Cover/Suzanne Vega
---------------------------
from the album "The Best of Suzanne Vega, Tried And True" (1998)
transcribed by Yuval Mishory (mishory@bgumail.bgu.ac.il)
additions made by Bambi Kill (freezetag@hotmail.com)

capo on the 3rd fret

chords used:
G       320033  or  3300xx
Em      022000  or  02220x
F       133211
A       002220
Asus2   x02200
G/B     x2000x
C       x32000

the alternative chords for G and Em are if you wish pick the chords like 
in the intro, otherwise simple strumming sounds better with the normal chords.

note: the Em chord should be hammered-on in a few places throughout the song,
but it's easy to figure out if you know the song (as I'm sure you do).

intro: same as the beginning of the verse.

lyrics+chords:
--------------
G                Em
What's that they told you
        G               Em
about a book & a cover?
G               Em
Don't judge so quickly,
          G                     Em
Is it too much to remember?
                F
'Cause pictures lie,
        G
you know,
F
I'll show
        G
it's so.
                        Em      
Just give it one thought.

What's that they taught you?
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
and try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie.
You'll see
no sympathy.
Just give it one thought.

F               G                       Asus2
Come here and I will whisper true
            G/B             F
about the things I know of you,
               G
and you will recognize them,
Em  A
always...

F                  G                 Asus2    
As near to you as breath and bone,
           C              F
so dear to me, and yours alone,
               G
and I will love you for them,
Em  A
always...



What's that they tell you
about a book & a cover?
Don't judge so quickly.
They'll tell you one thing and then another.
But see what lies
within,
under the skin.
Just give it one thought.
