The only thing you MAY have trouble with in this song is the strumming.
Remember it is just in 4/4 timing, so it's really not hard to play.
The transitions in the chords are a little confusing, but REMEMBER
to use your root notes to get into each chord.
This song was originally performed by The Verve, sung beautifully
by lead singer Richard Ashcroft, who wrote this song battling
his own war with heroin. You may remember The Verve because of
"Bittersweet Symphony."
If you haven't heard this song, it is a MUST ! It is a great song
to listen to and truly be thankful not to have to struggle through
some of the demons he had. If you are still struggling, this song
really pinpoints very real events in life. I have included the
lyrics to this song just because they are so good.
All this talk of getting old
Is getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I've calmed down
And i know your thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
And I know i'll see your face again
And now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
But I know i'm on a loosing streak
As I pass down by your street
And if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
So baby, Ohhhh
If Heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
When you leave my life
I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old
Is getting me down my love
Like a cat in the bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm holding on.
Drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
So baby, ohhhhh
If Heaven calls
I'm coming too
And like you said
If you leave my life
I'm better off dead
But if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now that the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Never coming down
Never coming down no more
Yea, I know i'll see your face again.
Here is something I have been thinking might help. What
you are going to hear is the strumming pattern WITHOUT the chords.
I am just muting the whole time. This might help in getting the
strumming down I hope.
