Ordinary World Duran Duran
ORDINARY WORLD (Duran Duran)
Here is the easily recognizable guitar melody. It's done with an
acoustic through most of the song, but the last time it's electric.
Use a single finger on the high E string and slide it down the string
when changing frets.
E---12-12-12-12---11-11-11---9-9-9-7-7-----14-14-14-14---12-12-12---|
E---11-11-11-9-9---7-7-0-7-0-7-0-7-0----0-5-0-5-0-5-0-5-------------|
The verses are: C#m (446654) E (022100) B (224442)
The bridge is: C#m (446654) G#m (466444) B (224442) E (022100)
And the chorus: B (224442) F#m (244222) A (002220) E (022100)
Those chords also fit over that melody tabbed above. I do not have a
tabbing for the short acoustic break between verses 1 & 2. (Any
volunteers out there?)
Came[C#m] in from a rainy Thursday on[E] the avenue[B]
Tho[C#m]ught I heard you talking softly[E] [B]
I turn[C#m]ed on the lights, the [E]TV, and the [B]radio
Still[C#m] I can't escape the ghost of[E] you[B]
What[C#m] has happened to it all?
Cra[G#m]zy someone say
Wh[B]ere is the life that I rec[E]ognize?
Go[E]ne away[B]
But[B] I won't cry for yesterd[F#m]ay
There's an ordinary w[A]orld
Somehow [E]I have to fin[B]d
And[B] as I try to make my [F#m]way
To the ordinary w[A]orld
I will[E] learn to surv[B]ive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now prides gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy someone say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
(Just blown away)
And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
Every world is our world
Thanks to Rob for working out the chords here, I added the lyrics and tabbed it out a bit.
It's important to play C#m as tabbed above.
