Intro -x2-: Amaj7 Emaj7 Verse 1: Amaj7 I once said Emaj7 Give my head a drink Amaj7 'Cause my heart is full Emaj7 I want everything Pre-Chorus 1: Amaj7 I should be married Amaj7 Somewhere with children Emaj7 Dance in the sunlight Emaj7 Cries in the distance Amaj7 If love is the answer Amaj7 What is the question Emaj7 See, I've been -nc- Wandering round these city streets Amaj7 But I'm not lost Chorus: Emaj7 Keep your head on straight Amaj7 You'll see better days Emaj7 Life's a choice we make Amaj7 Every day Interlude -x2-: Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhh Emaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhhuouohouoooh Amaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhh Emaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhhuouohouoooh Verse 2: Amaj7 'Cause someone died Emaj7 And my face went numb Amaj7 We're all asking why Emaj7 Does that make us dumb Pre-Chorus 2: Amaj7 I should be living Amaj7 Somewhere in Paris Emaj7 Chasing the skyline Emaj7 Far from our parents Amaj7 From what I imagined Amaj7 I'm not so perfect Though I've been Emaj7 Wandering round these city streets Amaj7 But I'm not lost Chorus: Emaj7 Keep your head on straight Amaj7 You'll see better days Emaj7 Life's a choice we make Amaj7 Every day Emaj7 Keep your head on straight Amaj7 You'll see better days Emaj7 B6 Life's a choice we make Outro: Amaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhh Emaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhhuouohouoooh Amaj7 Uhuuhhhhohhhh Emaj7 B6 Uhuuhhhhohhhhuouohouoooh Amaj7 Every day
I think the intro/interludes work fine like this:
G:————–7–5—————7–5————–7–5——–7–5-
C:-5—–5————3—–3———–3—–3————2—2——
E:———————————————————————-
A:———————————————————————-
Play that twice except don’t play the last 3 notes the second time through
I usually use DDUUDU for this song (and many others) as it works quite well but try and play around with strumming patterns while listening to the original, you could find something better 🙂
At “All those signs I knew what they meant something you can’t invent Some get made, some get sent ooh” All the D’s should be E’s
It’s kind of a tricky chord but I think Ddim instead of D sounds better in the interlude.
Is there a strumming pattern to this song or do you just play single cords?
