Truth

TRUTH

(Neil Finn/Jim Moginie)

NOTES: This is probably not as accurate to what Neil does as some

other transcriptions, but i think it's a fun solution to creating

a different feel on the acoustic between the first verse and the

rest of the song (the way the recording does). You'll start with

the capo on III, and remove it after the first verse. Since there

is a pause in the music right at that moment, removing the capo is

a fairly easy trick, and you should be ready to keep playing by

you hit the downbeat of the next verse.

VERSE:

Remember who we are supple and new

if I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth

lifting up your hand show me my rescue

CHORUS:

Bb* C* D

what I said

truth is worth more than pride

truth is worth more than pride

VERSE:

Everything you do continues long after you've gone

circle overhead the view from the bed

so high and lonely

sixteen times a day he comes to ground

to get some attention

CHORUS:

what I said

Truth is worth more than pride

truth cannot be denied

truth is worth more than pride

BRIDGE:

Bm G*

They have showered me with riches

and they say that I am worthy of their love and their attention

but they still don't know the truth

VERSE:

And everything you do continues long after you've gone

what I said

truth is worth more than pride

truth cannot be denied

truth is worth more than pride

View from the bed

so high and lonely

so high and lonely

truth is worth more than pride

view from the bed

so high and lonely

so high and lonely
