That’s Not How the Story Goes
from "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

190-200bpm
Played in 3
Standard Tuning, No Capo


These chords are correct to the original recording of this song, which can be found in Episode 8
("The Miserable Mill, Part Two") of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series on Netflix.

Notes on playing: I have chosen to make the transition chord a B7B7 rather than a regular BB to completely
eliminate the need for barre chords, although the song can be played with a BB instead. The entire song can
be played with barre chords, however I have also listed the exact chords I play below.

Verse 1:
    G+G              E minorEm

His Hench-people nowhere around

This tale is all sorrows and woes
  C majorC           D MajorD
You dream that justice and peace win the day
      E minorEm      D MajorD
But that’s not how the story goes

Verse 2:
     G+G              E minorEm
You might think that two parents both brave and both true
   G+G             E minorEm
Would live ‘til a nice ripe old age
  C minorCm          G+G
But I’m sad to say I have bad news for you
  B7B7
The curtain rains down on the stage

     C majorC           D MajorD
You might dream that justice and peace win the day

I once loved a girl and she thought well of me
  D MajorD            F# minorF#m
We thought we’d be happy together

But now I’m alone as you can well see
     B7B7
And she’s cold in her grave forever

    C majorC          D MajorD
There’s no happy endings not here and not now

Verse 3:

The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants
  G+G         E minorEm
And other dire hideous clothes
    C minorCm               G+G
You may think that three children would lead pleasant lives
      B7B7
But that’s not how the story goes


Verse 4:
   C majorC          D MajorD
Some people smile at the end of the day
   G+G         E minorEm
Some people laugh I suppose
    C majorC           D MajorD
But to me there’s nothing but gloom and despair
    E minorEm         D MajorD
That’s just how the story goes

That’s just how the story goes
