Amy Macdonald - "Poison Prince"
-----------------------------------------
This is how this great song is played without a capo.
Its really simple, there are just 4 chords:
h Cis Fis F (Gis)
e|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|
B|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|
G|--------6-------------6--------------3--------------2------------(5)-------|
D|--------8-------------6--------------4--------------3------------(6)-------|
A|--------8-------------6--------------4--------------3------------(6)-------|
E|--------6-------------4--------------2--------------1------------(4)-------|
Instead of the Cis chord, wich is a bit difficult to play,
you can also use the Gis chord. That sounds quite similar.
------------------------------------------------
Here is the way playing the chords:
h
A poetic genius,
Cis
Its something I don’t see,
Fis
Why would a genius be
F
trippin' on me?
h
And there’s looking and another ,
Cis
Why he can’t see is that
Fis
I’m looking through his eyes,
F
So many lies behind his eyes.

h
and tell me stories from your past,
Cis
And sing me songs you wrote before.
Fis
I tell you this my Poison Prince,
F
You’ll soon be knocking on Heaven’s door.
h
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,
F
Your life is like a maze.
h
And what we all want
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song,
F
So we can dance, the night away.
h
We said life was easy,
Cis
We said life was fair,
Fis
We said nobody gived a dam,
F
And nobody even cared.
h
The way you’re acting now,
Cis
Like you left that all behind.
Fis
You’ve given up, You’ve given in,
F
And I’m a sucker of that slime.
h
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,
F
Your life is like a maze.
h
And what we all want
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song ,
F
So that we can dance, the night away.
h
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Cis
With your eyes in a daze.
Fis
Some kind of Poison Prince,
F
Your life is like a maze.
h
And what we all want
Cis
and what we all crave,
Fis
Is an upbeat song ,
F
So that we can dance, the night away.
-----------------------------------------------
So I think this is the original way playing this song (without a capo).
I hope you enjoy it.
