Carly Simon - Anticipation
Artist: Simon, Carley
Title: Anticipation
My guitar is tuned to standard 440 but one fret lower. So my E is Eb etc. It seems to work with
most songs I do and gives me a little more vocal range. I think the guitar sounds better too.
I’ve looked everywhere for this and had to figure it out. My first submission.
I'm not giving every detail as I assume you can play.
Tuning is drop D - D A D G B E
Chords used are D G Em A
I capo on fourth fret for my vocal range. She’s tuned standard.
Note: With the middle finger hammer on and off of the D chord for the melody line.
D intro repeat twice
e|------5--5--0--2-2-|
B|------7--8--3--3-3-|
G|------7--7--2--2-2-|
D|------0--0--0--0-0-|

D G D
We | can never know about the days to come
D G A
But | we think about them anyway, yeah
D G D
And I wonder | if I'm really with you now
G Em A D
Or just chasin' after some finer day
Chorus
G A D
Anticipation, anticipation
G Em
Is makin' me late
G A
Is keepin' me waitin'
And I tell you| how easy it feels to be with you
And how right | your arms feel around me
But I | I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be
chorus
And tomorrow | we might not be together
I'm no prophet | Lord I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try | and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
These are the good old days
G Em A D
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
(D intro thing over these lines)
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are...the good old days
--Listen to it, feel it, be the song.
Peace
