Chords

1992 This is based on the acoustic version which was played on Later with Towards the end of the chorus and during the Coda there's a chord I can't quite work out, I play it as a B7 which sounds okay but Paul plays something else. Not sure what though. F#m/B or Bsus4 (x244xx) sound okay as well. If you can work it out let me know so I can adjust the tab. Chords: Emaj7 (076444) Emaj7* (xx999-11) Amaj7 (x07654) Emaj7** (xx9897) F#m7 (242222) G#m7 (464444) B7 (x2120x) or F#m/B (x242xx) C#m (x46654) A (577655) B (799877) When playing Emaj7 you'll want to hit the low E string twice before playing it so something like this:
        e-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
        B-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
        G-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
        D-----------------6---------------------------------------------|
        A-----------------7---------------------------------------------|
        E-------0----0----0---------------------------------------------|
Also the last three chords in the outro goes something like this:
        e------11-------7-------4---------------------------------------|
        B------9--------9-------4h5p4-----------------------------------|
        G------9--------8-------4---------------------------------------|
        D------9--------9-------6---------------------------------------|
        A-----------------------7---------------------------------------|
        E-----------------------0---------------------------------------|

Verse 1:    Autumn blew it's leaves at me,

            Emaj7              Amaj7         Emaj7          Amaj7
            Threatening winter as I walked,

            Emaj7         Amaj7              Emaj7          Amaj7
            Summer always goes so quick,

            Emaj7           Amaj7            Emaj7
            Barely stopping like my thoughts.

                  F#m7                  (F#m7) G#m7   F#m       G#m7
Chorus 1:   Which dip and spin and change so fast,

              F#m7          (F#m) G#m7   F#m7   B7           
            I have to wonder,                

                   Emaj7        Amaj7    Emaj7          
            will I last?                             

            Emaj7               Amaj7            Emaj7          Amaj7      
Verse 2:    Through the windows of a train,

              Emaj7                  Amaj7       Emaj7     Emaj7*  Emaj7**
            I caught reflections of a paper cup,

            Emaj7              Amaj7             Emaj7          Amaj7
            Hanging small in a pale blue sky,

            Emaj7         Amaj7                  Emaj7          
            Never knowing which way's up.     

            F#m7             (F#m7)  G#m7           
Chorus 2:   Above the clouds,           

                   F#m7         (F#m7) G#m7
            What's to be found?,

              F#m7           (F#m7)  G#m7   F#m7    B7
            I have to wonder,                  ooh

                      Emaj7         Amaj7   Emaj7
            will I be around?

         C#m                   F#m7
Bridge :    As my anger shouts,   at my own self doubt,

         C#m                    F#m7
            So a sadness creeps,     into my dreams,

         C#m                             F#m7
            When you're scared of living,     but afraid to die,

          A                            B               B
            I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it, 

            Emaj7         Amaj7    Emaj7        
            Oh yeh,                 yeh yeh yeh.

Verse 3:    It must be me that's rushing by,

            Emaj7             Amaj7            Emaj7          Amaj7
            Time just lingers on the wind,

            Emaj7                Amaj7         Emaj7          Amaj7  
            Bristlin' through my open fears,

              Emaj7            Amaj7           Emaj7          
            I wonder what it's goin' to bring.

Coda:       Run and hide, run and hide

            I   catch the sail at evening's tide.

            Run and hide, run and hide
