Chords

Written by John Squire Performed by the Stone Roses I feel almost privileged to be able to play this song??as it is an absolute masterpiece!!! ?.the roses best?.(almost)!! It looks a lot harder than it is so just play about with the harder chord sequences until u get the hang of the changes. It sounds ssssoooooo good played electric or electro-accoustic but is still good on a battered ?30 argos special!!!! The only thing u need to remember is to feel what John must have been feeling both playing and writing this song. I?ve even put the fill-ins in for u and u can play about with them to your hearts content as this is such a versatile tune!!!!!!! And some of the chords may be simplified if needed! ANYWAY NUFF SAID???????..NJOY!!! Any changes or alterations or questions to [email protected] !!
