Chords

by The Smiths Transcribed by John S. Jacob ([email protected]) The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..." Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum) the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so uplifting?! ;-) As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put it into one, for that matter...) ##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E). [Intro] Am F G [Verse]
Am G       Am G   F    C G
   Take me out tonight

              Am                G
where there's music and there's people

        Am        G F  C G
who are young and alive

Am      G       Am  G
Driving in your car

  F                      C
I never never want to go home

G                 Am      G Am G
because I haven't got one

   F    C G
anymore
[Verse 2]
Am G       Am G   F    C G
   Take me out tonight

          Am          G
because I want to see people and I

Am          G      F C G
want to see lights

Am      G       Am  G
Driving in your car

   F                    C
oh please don't drop me home

G                Am            G
because it's not my home, it's their

              Am         G     F C G
home, and I'm welcome no more
[Chorus] Em F
  G        C             Am
  And if a double-decker bus

  F               G
  crashes into us

            C
  to die by your side

         F               G
  such a heavenly way to die

           C         Am
  And if a ten ton truck

  F                    G
  kills the both of us

            C
  to die by your side

      F                         G
  the pleasure the privilege is mine
[Verse 3]
Am G       Am G   F    C G
   Take me out tonight

           Am                G    Am G F C G
oh take me anywhere, I don't care

           Am       G    Am
And in the darkened underpass

  G          F                               C G
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last

            Am           G
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I

Am            G    F C G
just couldn't ask)
[Verse 4]
Am G       Am G   F    C G
   Take me out tonight

        Am                G    Am G F C G
take me anywhere, I don't care

     Am      G       Am  G
Just driving in your car

  F                      C
I never never want to go home

G                 Am      G Am G
because I haven't got one

          F       C G
I haven't got one
[Chorus] Em F
  G        C             Am
  And if a double-decker bus

  F               G
  crashes into us

            C
  to die by your side

         F               G
  such a heavenly way to die

           C         Am
  And if a ten ton truck

  F                    G
  kills the both of us

            C
  to die by your side

      F                         G
  the pleasure the privilege is mine
[Outro]
Am         G            Am         G
There is a light and it never goes out

F                       C          G
There is a light and it never goes out
