tune one half step down . the chords are not relative to this . an E chord would in
fact be an D# . listen to the song for timing et cetera .

– intro –

play once :

E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D – – 77 – 9 – – – – – – – – |
A – – 55 – 7 – – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

intro chord sequence ( open chords ) .
listen to the song for timing and picking , it’s fairly easy .
( note that this progression is the same as in bruce springsteen’s ’radio nowhere’
and in the cranberries’ ’zombie’ )

Em , C , G , D ( 4x )

– verse – , these are power chords :

E5 C5 D5 E5 D5 E5
you , you’re living your life when you’re dreaming
E5 C5 D5 E5 D5 E5
late at night you’re hearing my voice in your head

– pre – chorus –

G5 A5
it’s time you see what it’s all about

G5 A5 B5
there’s one cure and there’s no way out

– chorus –

C G D
i don’t wanna hear you might
there’s a fire gettin’ near and sparks ignite
if you’re ready for a wild ride

( here you play the same open chords as in the intro chord sequence )
Em C G D
let me hear you say yeah ( yeah , yeah , yeah )
Em C G D
say yeah ( yeah , yeah , yeah )

– bridge –

F
who knows where we’ll be in the morning
C G
i know we’re here tonight
C F
get uptight and it all gets so boring
D
it takes two to make you come alive
C D
take my hand , kiss your fears goodbye
C D
there’s something here that we can’t deny

– during the solo , play the verse chord sequence –

– interlude –
C G D
well , let me hear you say it
C G D
well , i wanna hear you say it
Em C G D
well , let me hear you say yeah ( yeah , yeah , yeah )
Em C G D
say yeah ( yeah , yeah , yeah )

and then finish the whole thing up by repeating the chorus , and conclude with a nice C5 D5

when put together you play this ( the conventional rock n roll anthem recipe ) :
intro
verse
pre chorus
chorus
verse
pre chorus
chorus
bridge
solo
pre chorus
interlude
repeat chorus

cheers ,
