Four Chords chords by The Classic Crime

Chords with lyrics

TUNING: EADGBe#449
ARTIST: The Classic Crime
SONG:  Four Chords
TABBER: Dakota Williams


Song is tuned slightly sharp of standard. Around A449 sounds right but just retune until it sounds good to you.

Most of this song is played as fifths but I put full chords for those of you that want to do like an acoustic version. For electric, just play fifth chords.

Super fun and easy song to play. Enjoy!

C majorC
I was once a boy in love with strangers
   FF
As I watched them smoke their cigarettes I'd wave
C majorC
I was much too young to think of danger
   FF
I was curious and innocent and brave


C majorC
Now the wrinkles in my face have gotten deeper
    FF
I'm an old man that's just 25 years young
C majorC
I try to keep myself away from mirrors
    FF
They remind me of the stupid things I've done

A minorAm                  G+G
Because after all man's intellect and power
FF                   A minorAm
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then you're dead
     G+G                 FF
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving on

That keeps me singing these songs


     C majorC
So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, been down this road

About a thousand times before but we ain't bored
FF
Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we wrote
                      A minorAm
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored
       G+G           FF
The same four chords, the same four chords


    C majorC
Now the beard upon my face has gotten thicker
   FF
To protect me from the storms that come my way
C majorC
Maybe when life's done I'll be the singer
    FF
In the band that plays outside of Heaven's gate


A minorAm                  G+G
Because after all man's intellect and power
FF                   A minorAm
All you get is 650,000 hours if you're lucky then you're dead
     G+G                 FF
Says the voice inside my head that keeps me moving on

That keeps me singing these songs


     C majorC
So sing along, oh, oh, here we go, been down this road

About a thousand times before but we ain't bored
FF
Oh, oh, here we go, singing songs we wrote
                      A minorAm
About a thousand times before but we ain't bored
       G+G           FF    A minorAm
The same four chords, the same four chords
       G+G           FF
The same four chords, the same four chords


(This section is palm muted. Play section twice.)


FF     G+G      A minorAm
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad
C/EC/E            FF
My life was filled with songs
       G+G
And even if I die tomorrow
A minorAm           C/EC/E
These four chords will keep me living on


(Then play a third time, not palm muted.)


FF     G+G      A minorAm
Even if I die tomorrow I'll be glad
C/EC/E            FF
My life was filled with songs
       G+G
And even if I die tomorrow
A minorAm           C majorC .
These four chords will keep me living on


    C majorC .
So sing along, oh, oh, the songs that we wrote

Are playing back on the radio
FF
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow
A minorAm           G+G
These four chords will keep me living on


C majorC
Oh, oh, the songs that we wrote

Are playing back on the radio
FF
Oh, oh, if I die tomorrow


A minorAm           G+G
These four chords will keep me living on
