--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost Lucy - Al Stewart --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Al Stewart From: "Time Passages" (1978) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I’ve been listening to Stewart’s recording lately and suddenly realized that the chord sequence in the last line of the BRIDGE has a beautifully there. The changes are so fast there and it’s all so hazy but now I think the chord is actually Bdim7. Sounds great and fits the vocal melody perfectly. Let me know what you think! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS Bdim7 x-x-0-1-0-1 or x-2-3-1-3-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | | % | [Verse] Lucy worked a different club every day And though she put her mind to it Her heart was never in it She stayed around just long enough to get paid She won’t pass the time with you she can’t stay a minute [Bridge] And all these changing faces never bothered her at all They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call She knows will come but no-one else can hear at all [Verse] Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar Hangs her clothes up hopes tonight The contract won’t be broken Well they kick you round so much when you’re not a star Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token [Bridge] But all these imperfections never bothered her at all She says it sharpens your perception when your back’s against the wall There’s something that enables her to rise above it all To shrug it off just when it seems to go too far [Chorus] Hey hey hey I think you almost feel the pain comin’ on inside Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now and you don’t know why You don’t know why mmmmh [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | [Bridge] The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase Moved away to California got a suntan on her face She says that life was just another time another space It’s over now she learned a lot it’s not a waste [Chorus] Hey hey hey I think you almost feel the pain comin’ on inside Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now and you don’t know why Hey hey hey I think you almost feel yourself reaching out inside Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now and you don’t know why You don’t know why mmmmh [repeat Am and fade)

La chanson évoque la vie d’une femme nommée Lucy qui travaille dans différents clubs, mais son cœur n'y est pas vraiment. Elle semble mener une existence passagère, se concentrant uniquement sur le fait de gagner de l'argent sans s'investir réellement. Les visages qu'elle croise et les expériences qu'elle vit ne semblent pas l'affecter, elle les perçoit plutôt comme un fond, presque insignifiant. Alors qu'elle espère un meilleur avenir, elle endure des conditions difficiles et doit se battre pour se faire une place, tout en attendant une opportunité qui semble lui échapper. Au fil du temps, elle finit par quitter cette vie pour chercher quelque chose de plus en Californie, réalisant que chaque moment, même douloureux, lui a permis de grandir et d'apprendre. Cette quête d’identité et de sens est au cœur de son parcours.
