Cold Cold Heart

____________________ / norah jones / this song is a cover of an old country classic / cold , cold heart / by hank williams , released as a single in 1951 , / come away with me / and was simultaneously a big hit for tony bennett /____________________/ in his orchestral adaption . key : a mixolydian think of the Verse - part as a modified 12 bar blues structure , instead in A 5 - 4 - 4 - 3 bars structure; and of the Interlude as simply a pause in between . what norah jones’ piano improvisation explores is the concept of playing in the interval of decims ( thirds + 1 octave ) , that is left hand playing and right hand following synchronously a third + 1 octave above . * * * Interlude : | A | - | - | - | Verse : | A | - | - | E | - | | E | - | - | A | | A | - | - | D | | E | - | - | Interlude Verse Interlude Verse ( piano Solo ) Interlude Verse Outro : | D9 | - | ( repeat till fade out ) lyrics * * * * * * * * * * i tried so hard my dear to show that you’re my every dream; yet you’re afraid , each thing i do is just some evil scheme . a memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart . why can’t i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold , cold heart? another love before my time made your heart sad and blue , and so my heart is paying now for things i didn’t do . in anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start . why can’t i free your doubtful mind , and melt your cold , cold heart? [ original third Verse omitted in this version : ] you’ll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry . you know you need and want my love; yet you’re afraid to try . why do you run and hide from life? to try it just ain’t smart . why can’t i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold , cold heart? there was a time when i believed that you belonged to me , but now i know your heart is shackled to a memory . the more i learn to care for you , the more we drift apart . why can’t i free your doubtful mind and melt your cold , cold heart? i have also submitted a full transcription of the piano and bass part : tabs . ultimate - guitar . com/n/norah_jones/Cold_cold_heart_guitar_pro . htm + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + jon sebastian frederiksen A 2nd /may /14 just mail me at maitinin@gmail . com with questions , comments and corrections!
