Born in 1968 in Rome, Alex Britti began playing the guitar at the age of 8. From the outset he showed a passion for blues and at 17 formed his first trio, which enjoyed success in renowned Rome night-life venues such as Big Mama. He took part in the Italian blues festival and played together with the legendary Louisiana Red. His horizons gradually broadened and he became the supporter for American bluesmen passing through Italy (Paul Jones, Buddy Miles, Billy Preston). Read more on Last.fm.

     E non so perche' quello che ti voglio dire

           A7

    poi lo scrivo dentro una canzone

                D7+

non so neanche se l'ascolterai

                   F#m                Bm7

    o restera' soltanto un'altra fragile illusione

        Em7

Se le parole fossero una musica

        A7

    potrei suonare ore ed ore, ancora ore

        D7+

    e dirti tutto di me.

B   B7          Em7

    Ma quando poi ti vedo c'e' qualcosa che mi blocca

        A7

    e non riesco a dire neanche come stai

        D7+

    come stai bene con quei pantaloni neri

        F#m    Bm7

    come stai bene oggi

        Em7

    come non vorrei cadere in quei discorsi

        A7

    gia' sentiti mille volte

              D7+

    e rovinare tutto

B   B7        G

    come vorrei poter parlare senza preoccuparmi,

D                                      Em7

    senza quella sensazione che non mi fa dire

        A4

    che mi piaci per davvero

        F#7

    anche se non te l'ho detto

        Bm7

    perche' e' squallido provarci

        Am7            D7

    solo per portarti a letto

        G

    e non me ne frega niente

         F#7

    se dovro' aspettare ancora

        Bm7

    per parlarti finamente

        Am7    D7

    dirti solo una parola

        G

    ma dolce piu' che posso,

        D

    come il mare come il sesso

        E7              Bm7 / G7+   Bm7 / G7+

    finalmente mi presento.



         Em7

    E cosi', anche questa notte e' gia' finita

                A7

    e non so ancora dentro come sei

          D7+

non so neanche se ti rivedro'

                F#m            Bm7

    o restera' soltanto un'altra inutile occasione

         Em7

    e domani poi ti rivedo ancora

         A4

    e mi piaci per davvero

         F#7

    anche se non te l'ho detto

        Bm7

    perche' e' squallido provarci

        Am7            D7

    solo per portarti a letto

         G

    e non me ne frega niente

        F#7

    se non e' successo ancora

        Bm7

    aspettero' quand'e' il momento

        Am7            D7

    e non sara' una volta sola

        G

    ma spero piu' che posso

        D

    che non sia soltanto sesso

        E7

    questa volta lo pretendo.

        G

    Preferisco stare qui da solo

        A

    che con una finta compagnia

        Bm7

    e se davvero prendero' il volo

        E7

    aspettero' l'amore e amore sia

        G

    e non so se sarai tu davvero

        F#7

    o forse sei solo un'illusione

        Bm7

    pero' stasera mi rilasso,



    penso a te

Am7            D7

    e scrivo una canzone

G

    dolce piu' che posso

        D              Bm7

    come il mare come il sesso

        E7

    questa volta lo pretendo

        A7/4           F#7]   Bm7  G7+

    perche' oggi sono io

Bm7   G7+       Bm7   G7+    Bm7   G7+

    oggi sono io.

Accettami così ti prego non guardare
C               F      G            C
nella mia testa c'è un mondo da ignorare
C               F      G            C
voglio che tu sia mia complice discreta

accettami ti prego e dimmi che ci riesci

Am  Am         G            C       Am             F         G        C
amo amo è un buco alla ciambella la sua dolcezza effimera la rendecosìbella.

Accettami e vedrai insieme cresceremo

qualche metro in più e il cielo toccheremo
D           G      A         D
più alti dei giganti più forti di Godzilla
D             G             A           D
faremo una crociera su una nave tutta gialla
D           G      A            D
andremo su un'isola che sembra disegnata
D           G      A            D
con colori enormi e un mare da sfilata
D           G            A                D
per quanto mi riguarda ho fatto già il biglietto

ti prego non lasciarlo accanto a un sogno in un cassetto

Bm  Bm          A          D      Bm              G       A           D
Amo amo è qualcosa di speciale su e giù per lo stomaco è come un temporale
Bm  Bm          A          D    D                G       A           D
Amo amo è il sugo sulla pasta finchè non è finito non saprò mai dire basta
Bm  Bm          A          D    D               G       A           D
amo amo è un dono di natura perchè la nostra storia non è solo un'avventura
Bm  Bm          A          D       D             G       A           D
amo amo è una semplice canzone e serve a me per dirti che seiunasuunmilione.

Una Su Un Milione

C
Piove
G Am
sui monti e sulle scale
E7 F
su petali e parole
G C
sul cuore mio che batte
C G Am
Piove sui poveri soldati
E7 F G C
sui campi abbandonati e sulla mia città.

C
Piove
G Am
e mentre guardo il mare
E7 F
ripenso alle parole
G C
che mi hai lasciato scritte

C
Provo
G Am
un po' a dimenticare
E7 F G C
infatti guardo il mare e non ci penso più

F7 G Em
Agosto sembra ormai lontano
Am Dm
ma io sono vicino
Em Am
a dove ti incontravo
F7 G Em
semplice vestita in modo semplice
Am D7 G F
sei diventata complice e non ti scordo più...

C
Piove,
G Am E7 F 
adesso come prima sto nella mia cucina
G C
che mi preparo un pesce.

C G Am
Cuoce lentamente il sugo
E7 F
e nel frattempo annego
G C
e non ci penso più.

F7 G Em
Agosto è ancora nei miei sensi
Am Dm
ma tu cosa ne pensi
Em Am
mi vuoi ancora bene
F7 G Em
indice di una vita semplice
Am D7 F7
sei diventata complice ma non ti fidi più.

F7 G Em
Chissà dove sarai adesso
Lm D7
dov'è tutto quel sesso,
Em Am
quel caldo, quel sudore...
F7 G Em
Chissà se ancora pensi al mare
Am D7
al caldo da morire
F7
che non si sente più...
F7 G Em
Chissà se agosto è ancora nostro,
Am Dm7
se ancora splende il sole
Em Am
o poi magari piove...
F7 G Em
Chissà se mai la frustrazione
Am D7
diventa un'emozione
F7
così non piove più.

C
Piove,
G Am
sui banchi della scuola
E7 F G C
su ogni mia parola che non riesco a dire,
C G Am
provo un po' a dimenticare
E7 F
infatti guardo il mare
G F C
e non ci penso più...

Piove

Jaja, okay okay

Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán

Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F
Sé que como yo no encuentras dos

Lo que miras es un semi Dios

[Coro 1]
Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada

Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?

¿Qué, alguien me nombró?

  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión
          C       F
Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

Three bags full.

Who lives down the lane.

            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
