Mr Loverman Chords & Lyrics
[Verse 1]
F
I'm headed straight for the floor
C Cmaj7
The alcohol's served its tour
F
And it's headed straight for my skin
C Em/G
Leaving me daft and dim
F
I've got this shake in my legs
C Cmaj7
Shaking the thoughts from my head
F
But who put these waves in the door
C Em/G
I crack and out, I pour
F
I'm headed straight for the floor
C Cmaj7
The alcohol's served its tour
F
And it's headed straight for my skin
C Em/G
Leaving me daft and dim
F
I've got this shake in my legs

Shaking the thoughts from my head

But who put these waves in the door

I crack and out, I pour

Mr Loverman Piano Tips
1. Take It Slow: It's counterintuitive, but the quickest way to get comfortable and sound great playing a song is to practice it very slowly at first. Steady rhythm and counting are crucial to sounding like a pro, so let yourself get used to feeling the beat at a slow, easy tempo. Once you can nail "Mr Loverman" slowly, *gradually* speed it up. You'll sound much better than if you jumped in at full speed!
2. Use The Pedal Wisely: Utilize the sustain pedal to connect the chords smoothly, timing your lifts with the arrival of a new chord. For help with sustain pedal timing, check out this video.
3. Simplify if need be: "Mr Loverman" still sounds great even if you simply hold out the chords and ignore most of the rhythm patterns and extra details in the tutorial video. Feel free to keep it simple, especially if you sing while playing. As you get comfortable, you can always add the fancy stuff later.
