Title: It`s Too Late
Artist: Carole King
transcribed: rjmcpher@uci.edu
notes: Carole King plays the piano and I just arranged the piano chords
for solo acoustic guitar here. Note that you can substitue a D7 for the
D6 if you prefer the bluesy sound. I`ll put my chord voicing choices at
the bottom but this is all from ear so feel free to choose different
chords.
It`s Too Late (Carole King)
Am7 D6 (little riff notes E G A A A G E) (2x)
Am7 D6
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There`s something wrong here there can be no denying
Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7
One of us is changing or maybe we`ve just stopped trying
|[chorus]
| Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
|And it`s too late, baby, now it`s too late
|Though we really did try to make it
| Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Dm7 E7sus4 E7
|Something inside has died and I can`t hide and I just can`t fake it
Am7 D6
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
--chorus--
--instrumental built on alternate chord changes--
Dm7 Fmaj7 G7sus G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Am7 D6
There`ll be good times again for me and you
But we just can`t stay together don`t you feel it too
Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7
Still I`m glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
--chorus--
