R Stevie you are a musical genius. A songwriting genius. A technical genius. Some singer-songwriters are brilliant. Some are prolific. You are both. RSM i put you up there in that very, very rare place with artists like Prince, McCartney and Stevie. Self contained musical entities that personify originality. Thanks for decades of timeless music.
You are an inspiration. Maybe yer a derelict in this song.....just another side to your beautifully complex artistry. You're always giving me songwriting ideas.
Another inimitable MASTERPIECE by R. Stevie Moore. What kind of bizarro alternate universe do we live in that he is not the most famous musician of our time?!?
+FursAndMasksMusic Hey, I kind of tried to figure this one out too. I got as far as knowing that the capo is on the first fret and that there are chords that sound somewhat similar to D7#9 as well as Eb9add6. Just sounds like different 9ths variations with maybe some suspended chords. Please let me know what you came up with. I'm an RSM geek and try to collect as many of his chords progressions as possible - haha I've never quite been able to put my finger on this one. Love it a lot though.
+tgefykrgbegy it's simpler than it sounds, elegant you might say. I'm assuming you've got the intro bit because it's easy to pick out the individual notes in the arpeggio, D minor ad E minor shapes on the top 3 strings. SO, given we have a capo at fret one, the verse (Debbie, you say...) goes: 320003 (or barre it, up to you) x02200 x46454 xx0200 (half a bar) x32000 (half a bar) bridge goes (I can't repect you...): 022030 242322 x1333x x3555x I think that's close enough! Happy New Year!
+FursAndMasksMusic Here's a translation of the way I play it to make it easier for anyone else trying to learn the song: Gmaj7 G Deb - bie you say Asus2 We are lovers C#m7 {x 4 6 4 0 0} And you want know other {x 5 7 5 0 0} (same c#m7 shape moved up halfstep) So why don't you kiss me? Em7 F# i can't respect you Bb C i'm sorry but i just want your body
Bobert, you have a sound that's so unmistakably on its time yet uniquely ahead of its time in the same way. Love your creations to infinity. Never stop creating!
Thank y'all so much for the fun comments

McCartney dried up with the Wings... this guy didn't.

The most under rated dude ever
this is the most important song stevie ever did im embarrased how long I thought i was a musician until i found him.
This is one of the most amazing songs ever written.
You have such a unique ability to voice chords in strange ways that shouldn't work, but do. I love these tunes.
Preach!
stevie, you've brought me so much joy when things are tough. thank you.
From an independent musician, i say thank so much!
One of the all time greatest songs R STEVIE 👑
I’m gonna say the same thing many others have been saying Stevie. A crying shame this tune hasn’t got more attention. Cheers
This is incredible!! Oh Debbie, we all have at least one.
Gary Wilson and R. Stevie Moore wrote songs about the same girl I guess ... probably not but maybe ?
They collaborated so...
listened to this about 50 times since i stumbled across it! worked it out on guitar. very clever chords! (capo on first fret if you're struggling!)

Gmaj7 G

Asus2
We are lovers
C#m7 {x 4 6 4 0 0}

So why don't you kiss me?
Em7 F#
i can't respect you
Bb C
i'm sorry but i just want your body

So innovative and timeless.
Bobert, you have a sound that's so unmistakably on its time yet uniquely ahead of its time in the same way. Love your creations to infinity. Never stop creating!
Like a long lost Schoolhouse Rock outtake that was unearthed inside a time capsule buried in front of a torn down peepshow...
One of the favorites, Steve. A joy.
And of course R.I.P. Vanilla Bean.
This song is gold
i feel like I am young again in the 70's
God , every track I heard is a hit for me.. Wonderful music and discovery for me ! Peace from Québec
Such a dirty song, love it!
This is pop brilliance. Thanks RSM, you goddamn genius!

perfection
I love this song
Beautiful

What a stunning video!
The good ones.
Amazing song.
holy shit
one of the greatest songs about the boy/girl relationship later in life but as early as birth
great
Meraviglioso
"And every time you walk by you pet me on the ass, what am I supposed to think?" Seriously.
ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
I can figure it out: that's RSM, that's awesome
it is criminal t hat this dude is not famous as shit
this song's like a romcom minus the lameness
rad.
Hello frank.
What type of chords does he use in this?
PatMyChin probably the sexy ones with g string
I don't know but they're nice
Ab, Bb 9, Dmin7, Db7/6
then later
Fmin7 with Ab root, G7, B, Db
All the time I'm thinking, how is he making these sounds with that guitar. Took me a while to realize he's actually not. I think I'm high
it is a known fact that r. stevie creates all of his music through a tiny ukulele
JAJA MI DIOS
so fucking sick!
02:00 chac mool
Does anyone know the chords for this song???
Una canzone che potrebbe stare benissimo in un album di paul mc cartney.
Do Jobim inspired you ?
Beck tried into redo it with Deborah
I came for hciken pto pie?
i feel like can't understand one of these chords, let alone all of them
