Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)，这支将古典音乐与摇滚乐完美融合的乐队，总能以其奇特的音乐作风触动人众的心弦。《So Serious》作为他们专辑《Balance of Power》中的一首歌曲，以其略带忧郁的旋律和充斥哲思的歌词，讲述了一段情感关系的危机与反思。歌曲探讨了沟通的重要性，以及在情感中，当双方渐行渐远时，如何面对和解决问题。

歌曲的结构简单而巧妙，Verse部分以重复的“Night after night”和“Day after day”营造出一种循环往复、无法解脱的困境感。Pre-Chorus部分则表达了主人公想要挽救情感的愿望。Chorus部分则以反问的形式，质疑这种严肃的局面，表达了对情感破裂的不解和惋惜。

吉他弹奏技巧：

这首歌曲的吉他部分并不庞杂，主要以简单的和弦进行和几个Riff构成。Riff 1需要注意三连音的节奏感，Riff 2和Riff 3则需要快速的八分音符和十六分音符的跑动，需要一定的练习。

• 和弦转换： 歌曲中使用了C、G、Dm、Am、F等常用和弦，熟练掌握这些和弦的转换是流畅演奏的基础。
• 节奏把握： 歌曲的节奏比较平稳，需要准确把握四分音符、八分音符和十六分音符的时值。
• Riff练习： 重点练习Riff 1、Riff 2和Riff 3，注意指法的准确性和速度的控制。

希望这个吉他谱能赞助你更好地舆解和演绎这首充斥情感的《So Serious》。不妨拿起你的吉他，一起进入ELO的音乐世界，感触感染他们奇特的音乐魅力吧！

C             G       (riff 1)
Night after night
Dm                 Am        F  G
I try to make it all fit together
C             G       (riff 1)

I see you as someone I remember

You took me by surprise

Opened up my eyes

Now we gotta talk this over.
Chorus:
Am       F         G      C
Can it really be so serious?
Am         F      G     C
To be all broken up and delirious
C         G            Am          F
I guess we've really been out of touch
Am     F         G      C

But can it really be so serious?
Am   F      G
(Serious, so serious)

Day after day
I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day

But you know how it is
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over. (riff 3 instead of riff 2)

Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious

But can it really be so serious?

Verse:
Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see

And now it's up to you
There's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over. (riff 3)

Can it really be so serious?

I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
