Noubliez Jamais chords by Joe Cocker

Chords with lyrics

Artist: Joe Cocker
Song Title: N'oubliez Jamais
Album: Across From Midnight
Words/Music: Jim Cregan/Russ Kunkel
Transcribed by: Rudi Wagner

Remarks:
This is my personal transcription of the song, done just by listening.
To meet legal requirements, I placed just keywords at the beginning
of each line. Listening to the record is essential to get
the right feeling and complete lyrics.

Setup:
Usually I play this on a Strat (middle or neck pickup)into a clean tube-amp
(Twin-like) plus a little reverb so it gives a warm sound.
The chord positions (barre) and slides are just my personal taste.
My friends Günther and Mike add the appropriate riffs on accordion or keyboard
Thanks to Eva for the initial wording and inspiration to play it on guitar
