"Letter to Hermione"
Written by David Bowie, this is the Robert Glasper reharmonization (Bilal on vocals)
Intro
[Dm7] [Bbmaj7] [Dm7] [Bbmaj7]
Verse 1
[Gm7]
The hand that wrote this letter
[Bbmaj7]
Sweeps the pillow clean
[Gm7] [Bbmaj7]
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
[D13]
I care for no one else but you
[Fmaj9]
I tear my soul to cease the pain
[Gm7] [A7#5]
I think maybe you feel the same
[Dm7]
What can we do?
Chorus
[Bbmaj7] [Dm7]
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
[Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7/G] [Gm7] [Dm7]
So I've been writing just for you
Verse 2
[Gm7] [Bbmaj7]
They say your life is going very well
[Gm7] [Bbmaj7]
They say you sparkle like a different girl
[Am9] [Fmaj9]
But something tells me that you hide
[Gm7]
When all the world is warm and tired
[A7#5]
You cry a little in the dark
[Dm7]
Well so do I
Chorus
[Bbmaj7] [Dm7]
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
[Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7/G] [Gm7] [Dm7]
But I can see it's not okay
Verse 3
[Gm7]
He makes you laugh
[Bbmaj7]
He brings you out in style
[Ebmaj7/F] [F13b9]
He treats you well
[Bbmaj7]
And makes you up real fine
[Am9]
And when he's strong
[Fmaj9]
He's strong for you
[Gm7]
And when you kiss it's something new
[A7#5]
But did you ever call my name
[Dm7]
Just by mistake?
Chorus
[Bbmaj7] [Dm7]
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
[Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7/G] [Gm7] [Dm7]
So I'll just write some love to you
Interlude
