3. Chord Gitar Tell Her About It - Billy Joel
[Intro]
A G D (2x)
[Verse 1]
A G D
Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away
A G D
You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made
C#m C Bm
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
Dm A/C# Bm E
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
A G D
Oh, listen boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
A G D
You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul
C#m C Bm
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
Dm A/C# Bm A B
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
[Chorus 1]
E G#m
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
E G#m
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4 B7
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
[Interlude] A G D (2x)
Ohoo
[Verse 2]
A G D
Listen, boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee
A G D
To insure yourself, you've got to provide communication constantly
C#m C Bm
When you love someone you're always insecure
Dm A/C# Bm A B
And there's only one good way to reassure
[Chorus 2]
E G#m
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4
When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were there
E G#m
Tell her about it every day before you leave
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4 B7
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
[Bridge]
G Em F
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
G Am D Em D/F#
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
G Em F
And though you may not have done anything
G Am D B/D# E
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
A G D
Listen boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes
A G D
Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes
C#m C Bm
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
Dm A/C# Bm A B
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
[Chorus 1]
E G#m
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
E G#m
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
C#m C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4 B7
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
[Coda]
A G D
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
A G D
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
A G D
You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong
A G D A
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late you got to tell her about it... (fade)
