dinosaur jr said the people ,

i couldn’t find the chords for this great song anywhere so i had to do it
myself as requested by a friend .
i , ve never learned a song by ear let – alone write it down for others so tell me
if it don’t sound right .

chords are played with a capo in the 7th fret and rather than strum at the
chords pick them .

( v is for vibrato )

intro : ( repeat x2 )

verse :

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
bring me something , bring me something i can use

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
well here’s one thing , but it’s not the one i choose

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
i can’t help it , hope you show up soon

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
i can’t help it , i’m countin’ on you

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
of all the people , of all the people , why now

chorus :

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
save me save me

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
save me save me

solo . . . . . . . er . . err . , well i don’t know and probably couldn’t play it if i did
know it . tell me if you know what it is = ) .
it follows the same pattern as the chords in verse so pluck around it and playing
to a backing track now – one should know : p

verse :

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
can you tell me , can you tell me what went wrong

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
guess i shoulda seen it comin’ all along

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
gotta fight it , i gotta be strong

Am C Dsus2 Dm Fmaj7 G6
gotta be something , can’t let it drag on and on

pre – chorus :

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
of all the people , of all the people to let me down

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
of all the people , of all the people , why now

chorus :

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
save me save me

Fmaj7 C G Dm Dsus2
save me save me

ending chorus follows the same chord pattern as the verses , hope you enjoyed it
and don’t forget to help me fill the missing gaps .
