-------------------
The Am chord is sometimes "sussed" to add a transition, but mostly
chords
are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of
distortion. The strumming can be slightly tricky if you're singing at
the same time, so listen to the record to get it right.
Intro/Verse:
e:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

B:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

G:----5------------0-----|----2--------1----|------|---0h2-----0h4-----5

D:-7--------7------2-----|----2--------0----|--x2--|---0h3-----0h5-----7

Drums come in...
Verse 1:
--------
Oho, can't anybody see? You gotta walk to find me,
Never found our way, regardless, of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong? From this moment,
How can if feel, this wrong?
Verse 2: (same chords as previously) Chords have more echo here
--------
Stoned, in the morning light, I feel, no more
Can I say, frozen, to myself, I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right
Surely that ain't right.
Verse 3:
--------
Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd Am is sussed,
if you see what I mean...(play 2nd Am as Am->Asus4->G6)
Until:
How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment
How can it feel, this wrong?
Break:
------
Play intro (with a lot of bass A, G, F, E) up to:
How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment
How can it feel, this wrong?
Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro).
Ends on: Am
"...this wrong."
Other ways of playing some chords:
----------------------------------
Amsus4 or
e:--0---------------0-----3--0--|
B:--1---------5-----1-----5--0--| The 1st G6 voicing is a bit crap,
G:--2---------7-----2-----4--0--| but Fmaj7 and Am and 2nd G6 are easier
D:--3---------7-----2-----x--0--| to play like this on an accoustic
A:--3---------7-----0-----5--2--| and sound better..
E:--0---------5-----------3--3--|
