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 B7 rather than a regular B to completely eliminate the need for barre chords, although the song can be played with a B instead. The entire song can be played with barre chords, however I have also listed the exact chords I play below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords Used: G: 320003 Em: 022000 Cm: x31010 B7: x21202 D: x00232 F#m: xx4222
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: G Em G Em Verse 1: G Em You may think that the Baudelaire’s ought to prevail G Em And be tucked someplace all safe and sound Cm G Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail B7 His Hench-people nowhere around Chorus: C D But there’s no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that’s not how the story goes Verse 2: G Em You might think that two parents both brave and both true G Em Would live ‘til a nice ripe old age Cm G But I’m sad to say I have bad news for you B7 The curtain rains down on the stage Chorus: C D Yes, there’s no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You might dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that’s not how the story goes Bridge: D F#m I once loved a girl and she thought well of me D F#m We thought we’d be happy together C G But now I’m alone as you can well see B7 And she’s cold in her grave forever Chorus: C D There’s no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You might dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that’s not how this story goes Verse 3: G Em The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants G Em And other dire hideous clothes Cm G You may think that three children would lead pleasant lives B7 But that’s not how the story goes Verse 4: C D Some people smile at the end of the day G Em Some people laugh I suppose C D But to me there’s nothing but gloom and despair Em D That’s just how the story goes That’s just how the story goes Outro: G Em G Em Cm G B7 B7
