Coral - It Was Nothing

found this great wee track on disc 2 of the singles collection which i picked up at A
steal for 3 in fopp . i play it acoustic so its just the chords but ive tabbed the lovely
lead guitar chorus riff . watch for the timing as its a bit funny – typical coral
improvements/Additions welcome

intro ( listen to it for Bm timings and do the same throughout for every ’bm/’ )
Bm/Bm/Bm G F# Bm
Bm/Bm/Bm F#

verse
G F# Bm
i’ve got something to tell you
Bm/ Bm/ Bm/ F#
but i can’t find the words
G F# Bm
i could have sworn that i have told you
Bm/ Bm/ Bm/ F#
you said you never heard

chorus
G A
it was nothing
G A
it was nothing
G A
it was nothing
G F#
just you and me

bridge

sounds good with short , stabby strumming and slides between chords . enjoy

whole song lyrics :

i’ve got something to tell you
but i can’t find the words
i could have sworn that i have told you
you said you never heard

it was nothing
it was nothing
it was nothing
just you and me

i had so much to say
but my mouth it went dry
for my thoughts were on display
i’ve laid down and died

it was nothing
it was nothing
it was nothing
just you and me

ooohh . . .

i’ve got something to show you
but my actions let me down
all the words i had to tell you
were nowhere to be found

it was nothing
it was nothing
it was nothing

it was nothing
it was nothing
it was nothing
just you and me
