Sometimes We Cry chords by Van Morrison

Chords with lyrics

Notes on Intro = On the original album track the intro is a 'bass solo' which should sit within
the intro cord progression below. As a solo acoustic act, I will explore and possibly tab the bass riff
if i can make it work. In mean time I recommend hammering the D MajorD string to the beat and your instinct
during the C majorC & E minorEm cord progression. It works for me and holds the intro timing together.
