Blondie - Here's Looking At You (1980)
Written by Debbie Harry & Chris Stein
Chords by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E
These are the chords for this smooth tune. I play this song by plucking the chords as
staccatoed fourth notes, using all fingers except the pinky. To see the chord positions, look
at the bottom of the tab. Use a jazzy amp setting, and listen to the song to learn!
Intro (you can just strum these as regular chords):
[A] [Am]
As I sit staring into this liquid amber, ripples move out to the edge of the glass.
[E]
Is that really your reflection in there?
[C#m] [F#7] [D]
I just want to jump into the warm depths and be there with you,one more time!
Oh, alright
[G] [B]
...............Hit it boys!

My initials sprayed across the pavement

Talk to me now, step into my room
[F#] [B]
We'll have a word or two

Would you lose interest?
[C#m]
Show me indifference?
[A] [B] [E]
Foot in another shoe?
[A] [Am] [E] [E7]
Not very high heels, not wearing sneakers too
[A] [Am]
A magazine ad, a printed canvas

A basic new shade blue suede shoe

Thought I'd like to have a little party

Sure I stopped drinking but for the moment
