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
