Oasis - Don't Go Away
Be Here Now
1997
Two different versions here, the first one is from the Stop The Clocks
Acoustic tour from 2006/07 and the 2nd is just an alternative way you can
play it. Both are capoed at the 4th fret.
**Capo 4th fret**
Version 1:
Chords: Em (022000)
Em7 (020000)
Em/C# (042000)
Cmaj7 (032000)
Em9 (054000)
Asus2 (002200)
D (xx0232)
G (320033)
Cmaj7/G (332000)
Cadd9 (x32030)
Cadd9* (x32033)
Cmadd9 (x31033)
G/f# (2x0033)
Em7* (022033)
Cmmaj7/G (33100x)*
During the Bridge Gem strums the Cmmaj7/G chord once in place of the
Cmadd9 which Noel uses. Also when changing to the Em9 chord you need to
slide along from Cmaj7. During this change there's a little riff that Gem
plays that goes like this:
G------------0-----------------0-----------|
D--------2-----------------4----4----------|
A----3-----------3--3s5----------5---------|
E------------------------------------------|
Intro:
| Em | Em7 | Em/C# | Cmaj7 | Em9 |(slide from Cmaj7) x2
Verse 1:
Cold and frosty morning, there's not a lot to say,
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away,
With all the things caught in my mind.
Pre-Chorus 1:
And I wanna be there when you're coming down,
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground,
Chorus 1:
So don't go away, say what you say,
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Verse 2:
Damn my situation and the games I have to play,
With all the things caught in my mind,
Damn my education I can't find the words to say,
With all the things caught in my mind.
Pre-Chorus 2:
And I wanna be there when you're coming down,
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
Chorus 2:
So don't go away, say what you say,
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time,
Em D Cadd9*
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Bridge:
G/f#
Me and you whats going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
G/f#
The feelings that are wrong
Chorus 3:
(D)
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
Cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
And don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
Cos I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Yes I need more time just to make things right
So don't go away.
