TRUTH
(Neil Finn/Jim Moginie)
NOTES: This is probably not as accurate to what Neil does as some
other transcriptions, but i think it's a fun solution to creating
a different feel on the acoustic between the first verse and the
rest of the song (the way the recording does). You'll start with
the capo on III, and remove it after the first verse. Since there
is a pause in the music right at that moment, removing the capo is
a fairly easy trick, and you should be ready to keep playing by
you hit the downbeat of the next verse.

VERSE:
Remember who we are supple and new
if I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth
lifting up your hand show me my rescue
CHORUS:
* *
what I said
truth is worth more than pride
[REMOVE CAPO]
truth is worth more than pride
VERSE:
*
Everything you do continues long after you've gone
circle overhead the view from the bed
so high and lonely
sixteen times a day he comes to ground
to get some attention
CHORUS:
what I said
Truth is worth more than pride
truth cannot be denied
truth is worth more than pride
BRIDGE:
*
They have showered me with riches
and they say that I am worthy of their love and their attention
but they still don't know the truth
VERSE:
And everything you do continues long after you've gone
what I said
truth is worth more than pride
truth cannot be denied
truth is worth more than pride
View from the bed
so high and lonely
so high and lonely
truth is worth more than pride
view from the bed
so high and lonely
so high and lonely
