Subject: The World Tonight by Paul Mcartney
Song: The world tonight
Artist: Pual Mcartney
Album: Flaming Pie
I don't have this CD yet, and I don't think the CD is even out(5-28-97), but
I saw the video on TV and figured out how to play it. I don't know all the
words so I'll try my best.
The Main riff is this:
E--------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------7 bend(9)release
bend---------------7--------------------------------------
D-----7---------------------------------------7---------------------7-------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
These are the chords:
Am C
I saw you sitting in the middle of a circle, I saw you sittin', I saw you
sittin'
G Am
(But not like i'd hurt you?) I saw you sittin' there
Pre-chorus:
E Am E
Am
It doesn't matter what they wanna be I go back so far I'm in front
of me
E Am E
It doesn't matter what they say Giving the game away hey hey
Chorus:
Am D Am D Am
I can see the World tonight Look into the future I can see the
world tonight
That's about it. You do the riff after each verse and during the chorus. I
know this is not right, but it sounds fine if you're playing alone. I'm sure
it won't match the cd perfectly. You can e-mail me with your comments at:
Mcgruder56@aol.com
I hope you like it.
