Chords with lyrics
Difficulty: Novice
Capo on 6th fret
Note: don't play the top 'e' string throughout; it just sounds bad
Chords used:
C majorC (032010)
Cadd6 (032210)
D MajorD (200232)
E minorEm (022000)
G+G (320033)
Also, throughout the song there is a little flourish that comes at the end of some of the
lines. I've tabbed it as "G C majorC G" but it's easiest to play by just moving the fingers you've
got on the low E MajorE and A augmentedA strings up and then back down, like this:
e|-x---x---x--|
BB|-3---3---2--|
G+G|-0---0---0--|
D MajorD|-0---2---0--|
A augmentedA|-2---3---2--|
E MajorE|-3---0---3--|
Intro:
e|--------------|
BB|--------------|
G+G|--------------|
D MajorD|------0h2p0---| x 4
A augmentedA|--------------|
E MajorE|-3------------|
followed by: C majorC Cadd6 C majorC Cadd6 C majorC Cadd6 C majorC Cadd6 G+G C majorC G+G x 2
(you can get away with doing the G+G as (320010) if you want-- basically taking the top two
fingers of a C majorC and moving them one string down)
G+G
Up and up and up I climb,
When I came up I was so far behind,
C majorC
My head takes a lickin',
But my heart keeps on tickin,
G+G C majorC G+G
Just the same.
C majorC
Always startin' over but somehow,
G+G C majorC G+G
I always know where to begin.
G+G
Round and round and round I ride,
And just when I looked I hadn't even began,
C majorC
To feel the effect,
A augmentedA cool, dark fever,
G+G C majorC G+G
On the brain.
C majorC
That feelin' takin' over,
Like a holy rollercoaster,
G+G C majorC G+G
To the grave.
E minorEm
How can I await the day?
D MajorD
And last the night I'm here to see?
E minorEm D MajorD
How do I await the mother load?
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G
It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes.
G+G
Again, again, again I tried,
That's how I knew I would never be denied,
C majorC
That face in the mirror,
G+G C majorC G+G
Who could it be? It was my own.
C majorC
That cool, dark figure,
G+G C majorC G+G
That's when I knew I was alone.
G+G
On and on and on I drive,
When will I know I have finally arrived?
C majorC
So far I've gone, so far to go,
G+G C majorC G+G
It never ends.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
