>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.

[G]I wander the lonely [D]streets...
[Asus4]Behind where the old [E]Thames does flow.[E7]
[G]And in every face I [D]meet...
[A]Reminds me of what I have [E]run for[E7].

[Am7]In every man, in every hand,
[Em]In every kiss you understand,
[C1]That living is for other men,
[D]I hope you too understand...
Verse 2
-------
[G]I've got to tell you my [D]tale...
[Asus4]Of how I loved and how I fa[E]iled.[E7]..
[G]I hope you unders[D]tand?
[A]These feelings should not be [E]in the m[E7]an.
Bridge
------
[Am7]In every child, in every eye,
[Em]In every sky above my head...
[C1]I hope that I know,
[D]So come with me in bed.
Chorus
------
Because its [Am]you and me we're history
[Em]There ain't nothing left to say
When[C1] I...will get you al[D]one...
Verse 3
-------
[G]Maybe we could find a [D]room?
Where [Asus4]we could see what w[E]e should do...
[G]Maybe you know its [D]true?
[A]Well, living with me is like [E]keeping a [E7]fool.

[D]I hope you know that I am me...
Chorus (Reprise)

And I think you know I'm b[D]ound for you,
Cause I am...
Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
[Am7]And one and one is two, but three is [Em]company
When you're thinking about the t[C1]hings you do,
And you're thinking about the t[D]hings you do...
Verse 4
-------
[G]I wanna tell you my [D]tale...
How I [Asus4]fell in love and jumped out [E]on my bail...
[G]Do you under[D]stand?
There's [A]more in a smile that [E]in a hand.
Bridge
------
[Am7]In every sky, in every kiss
There's [Em]one thing that you've might have missed
Oh[C1], why am I going to a pla[D]ce that now belongs to you?
Chorus

[Am7]But you and me, and so am I
Lets [Em]make it up
Lets [C1]even try to live today, so why not smile?
Don't [D]dream away your life...
Middle 8
--------
Cause it is [Am7]mine...
It is [Em]mine...
Is that a [C1]crime?
Is that a [D]crime?
This life is [Am7]mine, but the bed ain't [Em]made,
Its filled full of [C1]hope, I've got a skinfull of [D]dope...
[Am7]Oh, the bed ain't [Em]made,
But its filled full of h[C1]ope, I've got a skinfull of d[D]ope...
