Subject: CRD: Verve - History
This is a vain attempt for 'History' -- a really awesome song.
I can assure you right now that this is not 100% correct, but
I think I got most of the chord progressions right. Apologies for
typos and/or wrong words. If anyone has any time, please try to
correct any mistakes found.
History - The Verve
INTRO: G D A - plus variations
G D
I wander the lonely streets...
A E E7
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G D
And in every face I meet...
A E E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.
G E
In every man, in every hand,
G E
In every kiss you understand,
G E
That living is for other men,
D (E)
I hope you too understand...
G D
I've got to tell you my tale...
A E E7
Of how I loved and how I fail...
G D
I hope you understand?
A E E7
This feeling should not be in a man.
G D
In every child, in every eye,
G E
In every sky above my head...
G D
I hope that I know,
G D
So come with me in bed.
G D
Because its you and me we're history
G D
There ain't nothing left to say
G D E
When I...will get you alone...
G D
Maybe we could find a room?
A E E7
Where we could see what we should do...
G D
Maybe you know its true?
A E E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.
G E
In every man, in every hand,
G E
In every kiss you understand,
G E
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you know that I am me...
G D
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
A E
And I'm living for history,
G D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...
G D E
And one and one is two, but three is company
G D
When you're thinking about the things you do,
G D
And you're thinking about the things you do...
G D
I wanna tell you my tale...
A E E7
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
D
Do you understand?
A E E7
There's more in a smile that in a hand.
G E
In every sky, in every kiss
G E
There's one thing that you've might have missed
G D E
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?
G D
But you and me, and so am I
E
Lets make it up
G D
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
G D
Don't dream away your life...
E
Cause it is mine...
E
It is mine...
E7
Is that a crime?
E E7
Is that a crime?
E G D
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
G D A E7
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
G D
Oh, the bed ain't made,
G D E D
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
END: D C G D E
Cheers
