Tame Impala - Let It Happen
INTRO
A augmentedA 
F# minorF#m 
G#sus4G#sus4 x4
VERSE 1 [0:27]
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
It's always around me, all this noise but
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
Not nearly as loud as a voice singing
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
Just let it happen, let it happen
CHORUS [0:56]
D#mD#m 
BB
All this running around
C#C# 
F#F#
Trying to cover my shadow
D#mD#m BB
An ocean growing inside
C#C# F#F#
Now all the others seem shallow
D#mD#m BB
All this running around
C#C# F#F#
Bearing down on my shoulders
D#mD#m BB
I can hear an alarm
C#C# 
C#sus4C#sus4
Must be morning
POST-CHORUS [1:27]
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4 x4
VERSE 2 [1:44]
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
I heard about a whirlwind that's coming around
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound, and
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
When it happens, when it happens (I'll be holding on)
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
So let it happen, let it happen
CHORUS [2:09]
D#mD#m BB
All this running around
C#C# F#F#
I can't fight it much longer
D#mD#m BB
Something's trying to get out
C#C# F#F#
And it's never been closer
D#mD#m BB
If my ticker fails
C#C# F#F#
Make up some other story
D#mD#m BB
But if I never come back
C#C# F#F#
Tell my mother I'm sorry
SOLO (this continues until around [4:04], where the synth comes in)

*: this note is the first of each subsequent sentence, so it replaces the first 10 played on the B-string
and sometimes he plays a 7 here

(in A augmentedA)
BACK TO FIRST PART [5:06]
A augmentedA F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4 x4
VERSE 3 [5:29]
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And it means, we move on ice giving
G#sus4G#sus4
Trying to get dreaming
A augmentedA
Trying to pose living
F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
You knew I'm not thinking that I would let you in
A augmentedA
Any other silver
F# minorF#m
And I would just do it
G#sus4G#sus4
Get the meshed thinking
A augmentedA
Get the meshed dreaming
F# minorF#m
Why would I do it
G#sus4G#sus4
Anyone'd think that
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
I could not do it, we move on ice giving
G#sus4G#sus4
Trying to get dreaming
A augmentedA
Trying to pose living
F# minorF#m G#sus4G#sus4
You knew I'm not thinking that I would let you in
A augmentedA
Any other silver
F# minorF#m
And I would just do it
G#sus4G#sus4
Get the meshed thinking
A augmentedA
Get the meshed dreaming
F# minorF#m
Why would I do it
G#sus4G#sus4
Anyone'd think that
