Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Pretty easy way of playing this great song. Sounds good enough on the acoustic.
During the intro and verse, A11 and Am7 are small variations that sound pretty good. I play them like this:
A11: x00000
Am7: x02213
[Intro]
Am Am A11 Am
Am Am Am7 Am
Am Am A11
[Verse 1]
Am F G Am
A sad fact widely known
A11 Am
The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
F G Am
Is so easily outgrown
Am A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you smile
F G Am
And the songs that made you cry
Am A11 Am
When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
F G Am
And said "oh, oh, smother me mother"
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F G Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
[Verse 2]
Am A11 Am
The passing of time and all of its crimes
F G Am
Is making me sad again
Am A11 Am
The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
F G Am
Is making me sad again
Am A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you cry
F G Am
And the songs that saved your life
Am A11 Am
Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine
F G Am
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am x2
F Em F G Am
[Verse 3]
Am A11 Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F G Am
waiting to be filled
Am Am7 Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F G Am
waiting to be filled
Am A11 Am
I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch
F G Am
In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)
Am A11 Am
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living
F G Am
Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
