Belinda

• Bb

Great song! Not too difficult to play, either. If you have any corrections to make to 
this tab, comment or
whatever and I'll fix it if it sounds better. By the way, for the instrumental break in the
middle and at the
end of the song, feel free to embellish the chords if you want. You can add in some 7ths 
or 9ths, really
whatever sounds good to you. Ben Folds never plays it exactly the same way twice, so why 
should you?

Bb                              BbM7
Every night around this time he has to sing 'Belinda'
Eb                                              Eb/F
"Belinda, I love you, don't leave me, I need you"
Bb                                BbM7
He tried to stop a while back but what is he without her?
Eb                               Eb/F   Eb      Eb/D
A one hit wonder with no hits is what he is

F/C                             D/F#
And anyway, He always hears how much it means to people
Gm7                                    C7
There's a lot of forty somethings who wouldn't be in the world without it
Bb/F                        F
So now he does it with this lyric in his head
Cm          Eb/Bb
Belinda, I loved you
F/A               Eb9/G
I'm sorry that i left you
Bb             Dm/A         Gm7   Bb/F
I met somebody younger on a plane
Cm/Eb                  Eb/Bb         F/A
She had big breasts a nice smile no kids either
      AbM7                 Bb/F
She gave me complimentary champagne

Eb9 C#

Bb                        BbM7
No-one ever wants to hear the song he wrote for Cindy
Eb                                      Eb       Eb/F
"Cindy, I love you, I need you, don't leave me"
Bb                                         BbM7
And he can't blame them, they can tell his heart was never in it
Eb                                Eb/F      Eb       Eb/D
And Cindy never liked it but she never much liked him

Cm       Eb/Bb           F/A            Eb9/G
Belinda, I loved you I'm sorry that I left you
Bb             Dm/A         Gm7   Bb/F
I met somebody younger on a plane
          Cm/Eb          Eb/Bb            F/A
She had big breasts a nice smile no kids either
AbM7                       Bb/F
She gave me complimentary champagne

Bb                                BbM7
So every night about this time he feels the old self loathing
Eb                                            Eb/F
While the old folks in the audience sing along
Bb                                      BbM7
And he smiles and waves the mic at them so they can do the chorus
EbM7                                 Eb/F  Eb Eb/D
But he's not there, he's somewhere else
Cm/Eb        Eb/Bb F/A
He's with Belinda
       Bb          Dm/A     Gm7         Bb/F
In the days before he made it all go wrong
Cm/Eb     Eb/Bb    F/A
Belinda, I love you
AbM7                          Bb/F
She gave me complimentary champagne
AbM7                          Bb/F
She gave me complimentary champagne
