Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 * Did you ever see London at night and not want to go home ? Did you ever take drugs stay up late just to see what you would see Did you ever have love and hate scratched across your hand ? or did you turn round with 16 miles to go ? Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 * Did you ever just walk away and disappear for days ? Did you ever have a girl----friend called Catherine Wheel? Did you ever come home from work and say I'm never going back again? or did you turn round with 16 miles to go ? <live: a bit of 'bam bam ba laya' ing in here. (same tune as verse)> Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 * D'you ever wanna kiss me so hard it bled ? D'you ever find yourself laughing in the middle of the day D'you ever think about the first time that I came in you? or did you turn round with 16 miles to go? [Bridge]: G Cadd2 G Cadd2 Think about the world, and those who'd see us hang, G Cadd2 G Cadd2/F saying it's the only language we understand, we understand Cadd2 * D * Em7 * And all those lives, we'll never know If we turn round with 16 miles to go And all those lives, we'll never know If we turn round with 16 miles to go <live: a bit more 'bam bam ba laya' ing in here.> [Outro]: first 3 bars of TAB above, followed by : Em7 /F# G ----3----3------3----3------3--3--3--3---3-3-3-3-3----3-3-3-3-3--3--3-------|| ----3----3------3----3------3--3--3--3---3-3-3-3-3----3-3-3-3-3--3--3-------|| ----0----0------0----0------0--0--0--0---0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0--0--0-------|| ----2----2------2----2------2--2--2--2---2-2-2-2-2----2-2-2-2-2--0--0-------|| ----2----2------2----2------2--2--2--2---2-2-2-2-2----2-2-2-2-2--2--2-------|| ----0----0------0----0------0--0--0--0---0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0--2--3-------|| . . . . | --> Heavy on the bass strings EADGBe X32033 - Cadd2 X32032 - C(b5)add2 'flattened 5th' XX0233 - Dsus4 XX0232 - D 022033 - Em7 022033 - Em7add2 320033 - G XX2033 - Cadd2/F The trick is to fret the B and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e. pinky on B string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the second fret on the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked "*" above). e.g. for a Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar) ______o____ | | | | | | |_|_|_|_|_| | | | | | | |_|_1_|_|(3) | | | | | | |_2_|_|_4_3 | | | | | | |_|_|_|_|_| I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
