Song: History
Lyrics: Richard Ashcroft
Chorded by: Ross Howard ([email protected])
From work by: Michael A. Atienza, Kevin Dutcher
(I have had trouble finding a chording of History to my satisfaction. All
of the versions that I have come across have been flawed in many ways.
But I found a reasonable one on a Verve site and have used this as my
base for this one. I must then thank Atienza and Dutcher for theirs was
the base for this work here. Bear in mind that I have only been able to
complete this after discovering a chord Asus4 used in The Verve's new
album Urban Hymns. I hope this feels better than other chords around. It
certainly does for me. Also their version has a different intro - one
that sounds completely wrong and their Cmaj7 is incorrect - I prefer a a
Cmaj with a G on high E string.)However, the lyrics on the copy were
superb and I have used them and the structure provided.)

[Intro]
G D6 Asus4 E x2
[Verse 1]
G D I wander the lonely streets Asus4 E E7 Behind where the old Thames does flow. G D And in every face I meet A E E7 Reminds me of what I have run for.
[Bridge]
Am7 In every man, in every hand, Em In every kiss you understand, C That living is for other men, D Dsus4 I hope you too understand...
[Verse 2]
G D I've got to tell you my tale Asus4 E E7 Of how I loved and how I failed G D I hope you understand? A E E7 These feelings should not be in the man.
[Bridge]
Am7 In every child, in every eye, Em In every sky above my head... C I hope that I know, D So come with me in bed.
[Chorus]
Am Because its you and me we're history Em There ain't nothing left to say C D When I...will get you alone...
[Verse 3]
G D Maybe we could find a room? Asus4 E Where we could see what we should do... G D Maybe you know its true? A E E7 Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.
[Bridge]
Am7 In every man, in every hand, Em In every kiss you understand, C That living is for other men, D I hope you know that I am me...
[Chorus]
Am7 Em So come on, I'm thinking about history, C And I'm living for history, D And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...
[Bridge]
Am7 Em And one and one is two, but three is company C When you're thinking about the things you do, D Dsus4 And you're thinking about the things you do...
[Verse 4]
G D I wanna tell you my tale... Asus4 E How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail... G D Do you understand? A E There's more in a smile that in a hand.
[Bridge]
Am7 In every sky, in every kiss Em There's one thing that you've might have missed C D Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?
[Chorus]
Am7 But you and me, and so am I Em Lets make it up C Lets even try to live today, so why not smile? D Don't dream away your life...
[Middle 8]
Am7 Cause it is mine... Em It is mine... C Is that a crime? D Is that a crime? Am7 Em This life is mine, but the bed ain't made, C D Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope... Am7 Em Oh, the bed ain't made, C D But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
