Sometimes chords by Alan Parsons

• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: G#m

Difficulty: Intermediate

SOMETIMES. (Alan Parsons)

* The song contains a transposition of chords
  that starts from the first instrumental part.
  The best way to play it is by using the CAPO
  at the 2nd fret, which is how I propose it,
  but the chords are not very easy.
  FOR NOVICES I recommend using the CAPO on the
  4th fret (set traspose to -2) only in the
  first part and moving the CAPO to the 5h fret
  (set traspose to -3) as soon as the first
  instrumental part begins.

Intro:
F#m Dmaj7 (x2)

Verse:
F#m                      Dmaj7
 She wants so much to say
F#m                      Dmaj7
 The things she thought about today
E         E/G#                   A
 He never dreamed that she could care
     F#7          Bm
He's lookin' everywhere
    E          C#7        F#m
And knows love won't play fair
                    Dmaj7
And as the years go by
F#m                    Dmaj7
 She sometimes stops to wonder why
E        E/G#            A
 But his story's not the same
   F#7            Bm
No matter who you blame
     E       C#7    F#m
It's still a cryin' shame

Chorus:
    E/G#      A/E
Sometimes you win
              B7
Sometimes you lose
              D                Asus2/C#
Sometimes you try to keep love to yourself
             Bm       C#7    F#m
Cause you're tired of being used
    E/G#   A/E
And so you learn
             B7
What life's about
    Dm         A
The older grow wiser
    Bm      E    C#7 F#m
And fall in love sometimes

Verse:
F#m                          Dmaj7
 So they think of good times past
F#m                      Dmaj7
 And all the things they thought would last
E    E/G#           A
 Now there they go again
  F#7                 Bm
A different where and when
     E        C#7  F#m
It's too late to defend
                      Dmaj7
Those feelings on the cuff
F#m                     Dmaj7
 And when they think they've had enough
E        E/G#                A
 All the things they saved before
F#7            Bm
Love became a chore
     E        C#7 F#m
Will live for evermore

Chorus:
    E/G#      A/E
Sometimes you win
              B7

Sometimes you try to keep love to yourself
             Bm       C#7    F#m
Cause you're tired of being used
    E/G#   A/E
And so you learn
             B7
What life's about
    Dm         A
The older grow wiser
    Bm   Asus2/C# D    E   A
And fall in       love sometimes
