Sa Tollgate Lyrics (Chords, and the notes that follow after, by briefconcert)


SA TOLLGATE
(E. Buendia, 1998)

Intro: F-F

STANZA I

C       EM
gumising ka
Am      G    F
nasa tollgate na tayo
C          Em
may hawak-hawak pang
Am     G         F
gusot-gusot na dyaryo
c      Em
di ko alam
Am      G        F
kung bat biglang nagyaya
C        Em
basta't sabi mo
Am    G     F
ayaw mo na silang
D7
makita


CHORUS:
 F   C       F    C
puno ng gasolina ang isip mo
F    C        F       C
tumawag pa kanina ang boypren mo
 F      C        F     C
buwan ay parang ulo na nabibilog
D7
mga paa'y natutulog
F     F-C
who--

(Same as Stanza I)
gumising ka
nasa tollgate na tayo
sumasabay-sabay
sa punit-punit na radyo
sumasayaw mga poste ng ilaw
huwag kang lumingon sa likod baka may makitang
multo

(Same as Chorus)
kaya't kayong mga bata makinig kayo
wag nakikisali sa hindi nyo gulo
kung ayaw niyong maiwan, di magsama kayo
at kung wala kayong alam
mabuti pa'y mag-ahit na lang

BRIDGE:

Am      F#*
hey now now
Am      F#*
hey now now

(1, 2, 3) ----> rhythm count


x2
F C  --F-C
tabe mo muna
(gising na, nasa tollgate na)


x2 (same as above)
tabe mo muna
(lala la la lala la)

D7
tabe mo muna
F -----F-F-Am (hold)
a-ha...

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE GUITAR PURISTS GO BALLISTIC:

1. D7 is like this (not good w/ chord names, I just wanna be sure), right?

E--2--|
B--1--|
D--2--|
G-----|
A-----|
E-----|

2. During the chorus (or during the F-C chord progressions),
F is suppossed to be played like:

E--0--|
B--1--|
D--2--|
G--3--|
A--3--|
E--0--|

3. Because I'm not sure w/c chord is that played during the bridge (after the Am),
nag-imbento ako! It goes something like this.

E--2--|
B--4--|
D--2--|
G--4--|
A--3--|
E--2--|

4. Please don't give me a "the song was played on A, not C" type of stuff.
If you transpose it to C, it'd just be the same chord progression. When I played the CD and
listened to the song, it matched the opening chord matched C, so I took it from there. Plus
it's easier to play in that note IMO.
