Suzanne Vega - Solitaire
------------------------

transcribed by Chris Brauner (chrisbrauner@go2.pl)



It's one of the weirdest tunes I've ever heard.
You'll have to listen to it a couple of times to get the rhythm.



Capo on the 2nd fret.

Do it again when you find you're all done
Like an idiot savant
Shuffle up your luck
You see you almost won
Now wrestle down what you want

Jack on the Queen and the ten on the Jack
It's a happy repetition
You and your fate in a kind of check-mate
And you are your only competition

Take what's wrong and make it go right
Weave it like a prayer
Are you going to spend the night?
Playing solitaire?
