Lyrics
‘Sobriquet’
By Amateur Blonde | AMTR BLND MUZC
A
I know, you’re a friend to me.
A G
Even though, you’re not friendly at all to me.
A
I knew you before I knew me.
A G
I knew that you would belong to me.
F7 G7
But now the foldaway’s
F7 G7 G#7/5 BEND
Where I choose lay my head down low!
C D7
Do you want to know, Do you want to know,
how they speak of you?
C D7
Do you want to know, Do you want to know,
The name they chose for you?
Am F7/9
Know! Do you really, really want to know?
What they’ve been saying?
Am F7/9
What your sobriquet... ... sobriquet is?
E7 F7/9
But now the foldaway’s
E7 F7 G7 G#5 BEND
Where I choose lay my head down low!
Am
I know, you’re NOT a friend to me.
Am F
And now we’re NOT friendly at all.
Am
I knew you before I knew me.
Am F
I now your name belongs to me.
E7 F7
But now the foldaway’s
E7 F7 G7 G#5 BEND
Where I chose to lay my head down low!

Am F7/9
Know! Do you really, really want to know?
What they’ve been saying?

E7 F7
But now the foldaway’s

Where I chose to lay my head down low!
