{Listen to the track to get the rythum / strumming pattern of the
Am and Em on the intro. The pattern is different for the verses.
All chords are played in open position unless stated otherwise.}
VERSE 1
Am Em
I don't care how long this lasts
Am Em
We have no future - we have no past
C G
I write this now while I'm in control
F Em
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes -
VERSE 2
Along winding streets, we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind. To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield, I'd run through
That I'd run through -
CHORUS - { The same as the intro but there's a bit of distortion on
lead and there's also a second guitar playing chords. The
chords are played in 'A shape'. }
And I miss you so - (Oh baby) I miss you so
Now you're gone, I feel so alone
(Ooh said) I miss you so
VERSE 3
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
While you cloud my days, messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses, I feld we had
CHORUS
MIDDLE BIT.
{ This bit was a bitch to work out }
{ The second time that he plays this bit hes got a phasor
or flanger on the go. }

|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|
Repeat two times.
{ He plays this bit fast and so it can be tricky getting ya little
fingers moving and so if you're finging it hard to play the 2nd bar
correctly - just play the first one twice since you can't tell
the difference when playing through a phasor }
{ Play chorus again with these words }
And I miss you so - I miss you so
All I gotta do, is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm afraid to say why - I miss you so
MIDDLE BIT { Again }

{ There's no garantees about the ending it sounds about right but
there more than one way to play any tune (right) and when you've
spent an hour or so listening to the same four second segment of
song then you kinda get sick of the whole thing. So if your not
satisfied with it, play around with it a little yourself }
If you see any glaring mistakes then please post them.
Anyone out there worked out 'Wildwood', 'Pictures on the wall',
'Has my fire really gone out?' or any other Weller / Jam songs
then lets hear from you.
