Chords

Artist: Ben Howard Title: I Forget Where We Were Album: I Forget Where We Were Transcribed by: Nex_ Note: Am to G6 is quick chord transition (listen and you'll hear it) My feeble attempt to explain strumming: - I always hit low E & A strings before each chord transition (or just E whatever sounds better) call it X* - For each chords in progression (F, Am, C to G6):
   X*  F  F
    D  D  UDU  (and repeat for other chords)
- For the quick Am to G6: Am G6 D D UDU DU D D D [Intro] F Am C G6 F Am G6 [Verse]
   F          Am
Hey, I wasn't listening 

      C
I was watching Syria 

        G6
blinded by the sunshine strip

    F                    Am
And you, you were in the kitchen 

         C
Oh your, mariner's mouth

            G6                      F
The wounded with the wounder's whip

                      Am
And that's how summer passed

    C                         G6
The great dividing range, the green, green grass 

      F                   Am                G6
And oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew
[Chorus]
     F           C    Em       F
Then hello love, my invincible friend

                C       Em         F
Hello love, the thistle and the burr 

                C     G6      F
Hello love, for you I have so many words

    F  F    Am           G6    F
But I, I forget where we were
[Verse]
   F          Am
Hey, I wasn't listening

      C
I was stung by all of us

          G6                    F
The blind leading out the bored

            Am
And as per usual, you were

C                          G6                   F
skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door 

                   Am
don't take it so seriously

C
only time is ours,

         G6                      F
the rest we'll just wait and see 

                   Am          G6
maybe you're right babe, maybe

      F                      Am
Oh no, and that's how summer passed 

    C
The great dividing

             G6
The range of green, green grass 

      F              Am             G6
And oh, maybe I hold on fast, to you
[Chorus]
     F           C    Em       F
Then hello love, my invincible friend

                C       Em         F
Hello love, the thistle and the burr 

                C     G6      F
Hello love, for you I have so many words 

    F
But I

F    Am           G6   F
I forget where we were

F    Am           G6    F
I forget where we were, oh 

F    Am           G6    F
I forget where we were

F    Am           G6    C  Em
I forget where we were
[Break] Am G6 C F (hold)...palm mute F Am C G6 (x3) F Am G6 [Outro]
     F                      Am
Oh no, and that's how summer passed oh your,

C                         G6
great divide the range of green, green grass 

      F                    Am                G6
And oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew
