Tuning: standard
Key: Dm
Here's the music for Lana Del Rey's new tune Shades Of Cool.
NOTE! There seems to be two different versions of this song going around, one pitched up a semi-tone.
hit the transpose button depending on what version you have.
Loving the James Bond-esque chromaticism in during the verse,
the close harmony and big reverb give the tune that mysterious edge!
Note for any of you people who write your own songs, a little lesson for you!:
| G Gm Arp |
|And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you|
Going to chord IV in any key, playing the major so in Dm we go to 'G' then make the same
chord minor 'Gm' is a tried and tested technique used in thousands of songs...It's super effective.

My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California too
He drives a Chevy Malibu
G Gm Arp
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
G Gm Arp
He lives for love, he loves his drugs, he loves his baby too
Pre-Chorus
Bb C
But I can't fix him, can't make him better
Bb C
And I can't do nothing about this strange weather

My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many, one is blue
G Gm
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you

He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new

And I can't do nothing about this strange weather

Email me if anything needs changing, think it's pretty much bang on though.
