Good Fortune - PJ Harvey
Here's what I play on acoustic guitar
    Am9-  x02200
     G6-  320030
      C-  x32010
  Fsus2-  xx3011
   G6/B-  x20030
      D-  xx0232
  Dsus2-  xx0230
[Verse 1]
Am9Threw my bad    G6fortune
Am9Off the         G6top of
Am9A tall          G6building
Am9I'd rather have G6done it with 
CYou-ou-Fsus2ou-ou-   Cou-ou-Fsus2ou-ou
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
[Chorus] - note rising bass progression
  Am9And I       G6/Bfeel like
CSome bird of  Dparadise
  Am9My bad      G6/Bfortune's
CSlipping a-   Dway
  Am9And I       G6/Bfeel the
CInnocence     Dof a child
CEverybody has Dsus2something good to say
[Verse 2]
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put it into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
[Chorus] x2 - note rising bass progression
  Am9And I       G6/Bfeel like
CSome bird of  Dparadise
  Am9My bad      G6/Bfortune's
CSlipping a-   Dway
  Am9And I       G6/Bfeel the
CInnocence     Dof a child
CEverybody has Dsus2something good to say
[Outro]
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again 
On the run again 
On the run again 
On the run again
