capo 3rd
all chords are relative to the capo on the 3rd fret . listen out for his signature
hammer – ons and pull – offs and general strumming pattern throughout the track . it’s pretty basic
but sounds good playing
against the track though i haven’t figured the bridge part out other than to say there’s
the C/E , G
and Am in there so any input is welcome .
chords :
Em7 – 022030
Em – 022000
C/E – 032010
G – 320033
D/F# – 200230
Am – 002210
Em7
what if i did not love you?
C/E
where will that be to me
Em7
but i wander through the avenues
C/E
under a pall of misery
( verse )
would i be face down in a gutter
with cheap whiskey on my breath
the lonely life of a writer
whose words could not pay his debts
( chorus )
Em C/E G D/F#
saying please don’t , please don’t pass me by
Em C/E
i Am alive , oh can’t you see?
G D/F#
that i’ve been blinded completely
Em C/E G D/F#
please don’t , please don’t pass me by
Em C/E
i Am alive , oh can’t you see?
G D/F#
that i Am pleading for your mercy
( verse )
what if we became strangers?
would you notice my face in a crowd?
and you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
helplessly crying your name out loud
( verse )
would i be searching for a savior?
burned and burning with regret
the lonely life of a writer
with one last desperate request
( chorus )
saying please don’t , please don’t pass me by
i Am alive , oh can’t you see?
that i’ve been blinded completely
please don’t , please don’t pass me by
i Am alive , oh can’t you see?
that i Am pleading for your mercy
( bridge )
i’ve been on the lamb
being hunted , something fierce
they say time and tide don’t wait for no man
but i was just hoping
these storm filled skies will clear
( chorus )
please don’t , please don’t pass me by
please don’t , please don’t pass me by
please don’t , please don’t pass me by
i Am alive , oh can’t you see?
that i Am pleading for your mercy
