Chords
Hi all,
This is as accurate to the original album recording as I can get it! Includes the transition from 'Don't ask
Me Why' as the Intro. There is a lot of repetition in this song, which I have tried to make visible using
repeats but keep an eye out for me (ie. in the outro).
Timing wise, I have tried to keep the spacing between chords consistent with the beats of the song. I have
also capitalised lyrics that fall on a chord change. However, not all lyrics do this, and not all chord
changes fall on a lyric. Listen to the recording and have a go.
Thanks!

[Verse 3]
Put it DOWN to me
I, who speak AWKWARDLY
Any WORD if it is HEARD is not INTENDED to be
Not for HIM, not for HER
And not for THEM and not for me
