This is for a friend of mineand the other 7 people who asked me for it.IntroE|-----------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------|G|-2-2-4b-4b-4b-rb~--2-2-4b-4b-rb-2~-|D|-----------------------------------|A|-----------------------------------|E|-----------------------------------|x2
Now the F#m chord can be played as F#5 if you have a keyboard player play the F#m (like track), but, if you're jamming to the record by yourself you'll have to play it like this:E|-2-|B|-2-|G|-2-|D|-4-|A|-4-|E|-2-|
F#mThe other chords are shuffled and are best played with the root and fifth, eg:E|----------|B|----------|G|----------|D|-------7--|A|-7--2--5--|E|-5--0-----| A E D
This is the way THE VERSE goes... D E Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy F#m Everybody has to try D E A Seeing is believing, never show the reason why D E F#m Even when we grow up and our bodies slow up, no, no, no D E A We think again but do we understand? This is the way THE CHORUS goes... E A That's the way it goes, oh everybody knows E A That you can't survive if you ain't got drive D A Those velvet wings can't help you fly D E Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by A But you must carry on This is the way THE BRIDGE goes... F#m I haven't told any secrets A I swore not to tell any lies F#m Something inside me is saying D E That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes
For the bridge you will find this riff helpfull:Use loads of overdrive and distortion...E|---12-9-|B|--------|G|-9------|D|--------|A|--------|E|--------|
I like to call this the middle section (even though it isn't) D A Those velvet wings can't help you fly D E Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by A But you must carry on
Now the solo, I think, goes like this:E|-12-12-12\10-10-10-10\9--9--9--------------------------------------------|B|-14-14-14\12-12-12-12\10-10-10-10---10---10---------------------------10-|G|-------------------------------9h11-9h11-9h11-9---------------------9----|D|------------------------------------------------11-9-------9b-11-11------|A|-----------------------------------------------------12-12---------------|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-14-14-14/15-15-15-15\14-14-14-14/15-15-15-15\14-14-14-12-12-12-|B|-15-15-15/17-17-17-17\15-15-15-15/17-17-17-17\15-15-15-14-14-14-|G|----------------------------------------------------------------|D|----------------------------------------------------------------|A|----------------------------------------------------------------|E|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-10-10-10-10-9--9-------------------|B|-12-12-12-12-10-10-10---------------|G|----------------------9h11p9--------|D|-----------------------------11-----|A|--------------------------------12~-|E|------------------------------------|
This is 100% correct. Tell your friends.
