[Am(V)]
E|-------5--------------3------|
B|-----5---8-7b-------3---6-5b-|
G|---5--------------3----------|
D|-7--------------5------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|
The second part of the verse uses a riff
and a different riff:
E|-------0-----------1-|
B|-----1-----------1---|
G|---2-----------1-----|
D|-2-----------3-------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
Strum and chords on the bridge:
E|---0-----1-|
B|---1-----1-|
G|---2-----1-|
D|---2-----3-|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|
(note: try vibratin' the whole chord to get the cool
little effect in some places on CD)
The outro is like this x2
E|-------0-------0---------------1-------1---------|
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---1---3---3-1-----|
G|---2-------2---------2-----1-------1---------1---|
D|-2---------------------2-3---------------------3-|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|
and then this once
E|-------0-------0---------------1-|
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---|
G|---2-------1---------2-----1-----|
D|-2---------------------2-3-------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
and then repeat the whole outro thing again and again to fade.
So some idea of timings:
Intro: [Am(V)]
Verse 1:
I heard a rumour
[Am(V)]
They travel far
You know what it's like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
[Am(V)]
Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Verse 1.5:
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so
Verse 2:
(same as last verse)
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
(Bridge - strum here):
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Verse 3 (a lil different):
[Am(V)]
I heard it from Peter
[Am(V)]
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don't know at all
[Am(V)]
I heard it from Mary
[Am(V)]
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth
[Am(V)]
I heard it from Simon
[Am(V)]
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
[Am(V)]
I heard it from Joseph
[Am(V)]
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
Verse 3.5:
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Outro
Before you say goodbye
