# Date: 16 Jan 1996 09:46:15 +0000 From: "Boulton, Nic" <Nic.Boulton@mcl.co.uk> Subject: /t/Til Tuesday/Other End of the Telescope.crd Other End of the Telescope (Til Tuesday) --------------------------------------- This is on Til Tuesday's 3rd album, 'Everything's Different Now'. Written by Aimee Mann and Declan McManus/Elvis Costello, Aimee still plays this in her live set. The below is written as though played in E (at the nut). On the album, it's in Eb (Eb transposition at the bottom of the page).
Shall Ewe agrBee that G#mjust this Aonce, I'm gonna C#mchange my Blife Until it's just as tiny or important as you like
and in Atime, you won't C#meven reBcall that we Aspoke words that turn out to be as thick as smoke
A like smokeF#m disappears on the Eair, A there's always something G#msmouldering thEere
[Chorus]:
I kBnow it don't make a Adifference to Eyou but oh, it sure made a difference to me you'll C#msee me Boff in the distAance I Ehope F#m A B A G#m F#m E A G#m F#m E
at the other end, at the other end of the telescope
There Ewas a tBime not lG#mong Aago, I dreamt the C#mworld was Bflat and all the colours bled away and that was th-------at
and in tAime, I could C#monly belBieve in one thAing the sky was just phosphorous, stars all on strings
A and you swore that they'd F#malways be Emine Awell you can't pull them F#mdown any tEime
[Chorus] [Bridge]:
BThere there baby now Adon't say aE word lie down baby your vision is blurred your C#mhead is so Bsore, from Aall of that Ethinking I C#mdon't want to hurt you Anow, but C#mI think you're shriF#mnking E I think you're shrinking
You're hEalf nBaked ambG#mition A and half outC#m of your Bwits and though your wristwatch always works your necktie never fits
now its so Ahard to lift the reC#mceiver up aBnd when I cAall I never noticed you could be so small
the answer was F#munder your Enose, but the quAestion Bnever arEose
[Chorus]
you'll C#mfind me Bhere at the Aend of my Erope when the head and the heart of it finally elope you'll see us off in the distance I hope at the other F#mend, at the other Aend oBf the teleAscopG#me F#m E
[outro]: || A G#m F#m E :|| A few times last time : A G#m F#m G#m E 4 4 2 1 1 <-- Number of strums EADGBe 022100 - E 577655 - A 799877 - B X46654 - C#m 466444 - G#m 244222 - F#m Possible alternative to the 3rd line of the bridge is :
your Bmind is so soAre, from Aall of that thC#minking . . . but I think the first one sounds closest.
Transposed to Eb: The album's in Eb, which either means putting a capo at 11th fret (yuk), or playing it with a capo at the first fret and substituting the chord shapes written above as follows: Chord in E SHAPE in Eb (above) (capo @ 1) E D F#m Em G#m F#m A G B A C#m Bm . . . but I prefer to play it in 'E'! If nothing else, it's fun to run down A G#m F#m E (5th, 4th, 2nd, 0th frets) at the end of the chorus. Any improvements welcome. Nic Nic.Boulton@mercury.co.uk
