Chords Used (I used open for verse, and bar for “And everyone…” part)
D OR D A OR A G OR G Bm C#m G# B E
e| 2 5 0 5 3 3 2 4 4 2 0
b| 3 7 2 5 0 3 3 5 4 4 0
g| 2 7 2 6 0 4 4 6 5 4 1
d| 0 7 2 7 0 5 4 6 6 4 2
a| X 5 0 7 2 5 2 4 6 2 2
E| X X X 5 3 3 X X 4 X 0
Chord placements on the words are approximate. Kind of hard to pinpoint. If worse
comes to worse, just play the chord patterns with the song (D A GG Bm A DD) and worry
about the words later. I put the approximate times that the chord is supposed to be
played for each verse and segment of the song. In the third verse, first line, there
are two A's played (listen closely). If you see a mistake, go ahead and correct it.
Overall, the chords should be right. This is a great song by VU (my 2nd favorite).
I spent a lot of time trying to get chords as close as possible. Enjoy it.
