"Glycerine"
                                 by Bush
                        from the album "Sixteen Stone"

First, the chords (these are the wrong names, but I had to call them
something):

   F   Csus2 Dsus2 B#sus2
---1-----3----5----1-----
---1-----3----5----1-----
---2-----5----7----3-----
---3-----5----7----3-----
---3-----3----5----1-----
---1-----x----x----x-----

Verse pattern:

     F                                         Csus2
Must be your skin        ->             I'm sinkin' in
     Dsus2                                        B#sus2

Must be for real        ->              'Cause now I can feel
     F                                         Csus2
I didn't mind             ->            It's not my kind
     Dsus2                                        B#sus2

It's not my time         ->             To wonder why
     F                                         Csus2
Everything's gone white    ->           Everything's gray
     Dsus2                                        Am
Now you're here          ->             Now you're away
     F                                         Csus2
Don't want this         ->              Remember that
     Dsus2                                        Am
I'll never forget       ->              Where you're at

Chorus:

     F               --->                      Csus2
                                        Don't let the days go
     Dsus2             ----->                     Am
 days go                                      by    Glycerine
     F               ----->                    Csus2
    (no words)                                (no words)
     Am
    (no words)

Verse 2 (same chords) :

I'm never alone        ->               I'm alone all the time
Are you at one           ->             Do you lie
We live in a wheel         ->           Where everyone steals
And when we rise             ->         it's like strawberry fields
Treated you bad                ->       You bruise my face
Couldn't love you more           ->     You've got a beautiful taste

Chorus 2 and bridge (chords are the same, but verse chords play longer):


Don't let the days go by   ->           Could've been easier on you
I couldn't change,         ->           Though I wanted to
Should've been easier by three   ->     Our old friend fear, and you and
me
Glycerine                  ->           Glycerine
Don't let the days go by    ->          Glycerine
Don't let the days go by-aye-aye
Glycerine                  ->           Glycerine
Glycerine                  ->           Glycerine
Bad moon white again       ->           Bad moon white again
As she falls around me

Verse 3 (once again, same verse chords):

Needed you more              ->         You wanted us less
Could not kiss              ->          Just regress
It might just be           ->           Clear simple and plain
Well that's just fine       ->          That's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by      ->        Could've been easier on you,
you, you
Glycerine                    ->         Glycerine
Glycerine                   ->          Glycerine

Note: Once you listen to the song enough, you'll get the progression
REAL quick.
      The important thing is to listen for the change. The chords above
the lyrics
      are the chords that are played DURING THAT LINE, not when they
change to
      that chord.

      Oh yeah...Have fun...:)
