Help . . . . Name That Tune!!!!

Its the tune that they are playing on the radio all of the time now . . . . She was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE recently as the music guest (Robert DiNiero was the host . . . It was reruned last Sat. night . . . It might've been from Turkey Day weekend) . .. Its kinda blusey sounding but its kinda cool though . . . Sounds like a song Carole King might've sung back in the day . . . Just a piano & a guy on the guitar . . . But damnit, I can't remember her name or the song !!!!!!!!!!!

 

once again if you knew some words it'd help

 

Ditto. Hum a few bars.

 

dude, that was a while back.

give more clues. hard to guess without any clues.

bluesy? ok, piano and guitar sounds like nathalie merchant?

 

I BELIEVE the song is 'Don't Know Why' by Nora Jones

 

That's it . . .

 

she didnt write the song, jesse harris did, but she performed it originally.

norah jones was on SNL? i missed that! i need to start watching tv. i am missing a lot.

don't know why

1st verse:
B E
i waited till i saw the sun

B F# E B
i don't know why i didn't come

B E
i left you by the house of fun

B F# E B
i don't know why i didn't come... i

B F# E B
don't know why i didn't come...

2nd verse:
when i saw the break of day
i wished that i could fly away
instead of kneeling in the sand
catching teardrops in my hand


bridge:

G#M D#M C#M
my heart is drenched in wine

G#M D#M C#M7 F#
but you'll be on my mind ...forever

3rd verse:
out across the endless sea
i would die in esctasy
but i'll be a bag of bones
driving down the road alone

(bridge again)

4th verse:
something has to make you run
i don't know why i didn't come
i feel as empty as a drum
i don't why i didn't come(3x and fade..)



**note: if this feels like the wrong key to sing it in just transpose song up a half step to C if needed. so it would be:

C F G C, bridge Am Em Dm, G, etc.

 

Cool song.
