Am(V) Gm
E|-------5--------------3------|
B|-----5---8-7b-------3---6-5b-|
G|---5--------------3----------|
D|-7--------------5------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
The second part of the verse uses a Fm riff and a different Am riff:
Am Fm
E|-------0-----------1-|
B|-----1-----------1---|
G|---2-----------1-----|
D|-2-----------3-------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
Strum Am and Fm chords on the bridge:
Am Fm
E|---0-----1-|
B|---1-----1-|
G|---2-----1-|
D|---2-----3-|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
(note: try vibratin' the whole Fm chord to get the cool
little effect in some places on CD)
The outro is like this x2
E|-------0-------0---------------1-------1---------|
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---1---3---3-1-----|
G|---2-------2---------2-----1-------1---------1---|
D|-2---------------------2-3---------------------3-|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|
and then this once
E|-------0-------0---------------1-|
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---|
G|---2-------1---------2-----1-----|
D|-2---------------------2-3-------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
and then repeat the whole outro thing again and again to fade.
So some idea of timings:
Intro: Am(V)
Verse 1:
I heard a rumour
Am(V)They travel far
You know what it's like
GmThe way people are
They talk and they talk
Am(V)Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
GmAnd lie on demand
Verse 1.5
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Am FmSay it's not so
Verse 2
(same as last verse)
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
(Bridge - strum here)
Fm AmPut your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Fm AmPut your head on my chest
AmAnd breathe love
FmBreathe love
FmBreathe love
FmBreathe love
Am Fm Am
Verse 3 (a lil different):
Am(V)I heard it from Peter
Am(V)Who heard it from Paul
GmWho heard it from someone
GmI don't know at all
Am(V)I heard it from Mary
Am(V)Who heard it from Ruth
GmWho swore on the bible
GmShe's telling the truth
Am(V)I heard it from Simon
Am(V)Who heard it from James
GmConfirming with Sarah
GmThat I was to blame
Am(V)I heard it from Joseph
Am(V)Who heard it from John
GmWho said with conviction
GmThat all hope was gone
Verse 3.5:
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Am FmBefore you say goodbye
Am FmBefore you say goodbye
Am FmBefore you say goodbye
Outro
Before you say goodbye
