Artist: The Verve Album: A Northen Soul Song: History Lyrics: Richard Ashcroft Chorded by: Ross Howard ([email protected]) From work by: Michael A. Atienza, Kevin Dutcher (I have had trouble finding a chording of History to my satisfaction. All of the versions that I have come across have been flawed in many ways. But I found a reasonable one on a Verve site and have used this as my base for this one. I must then thank Atienza and Dutcher for theirs was the base for this work here. Bear in mind that I have only been able to complete this after discovering a chord Asus4 used in The Verve's new album Urban Hymns. I hope this feels better than other chords around. It certainly does for me. Also their version has a different intro - one that sounds completely wrong and their Cmaj7 is incorrect - I prefer a a Cmaj with a G on high E string.)However, the lyrics on the copy were superb and I have used them and the structure provided.) [Chords] A - X02220 Asus4 - X02200 Am - X02210 Am7 - X02010 C1 - X32013 D - X00232 D6 - X00202 E - 022100 E7 - 022130 Em - 022033 G - 320033 [Intro] G-D6-Asus4-E - x2 [Verse 1] G D I wander the lonely streets Asus4 E E7 Behind where the old Thames does flow. G D And in every face I meet A E E7 Reminds me of what I have run for. [Bridge] Am7 In every man, in every hand, Em In every kiss you understand, C1 That living is for other men, D I hope you too understand... [Verse 2] G D I've got to tell you my tale Asus4 E E7 Of how I loved and how I failed G D I hope you understand? A E E7 These feelings should not be in the man. [Bridge] Am7 In every child, in every eye, Em In every sky above my head... C1 I hope that I know, D So come with me in bed. [Chorus] Am Because its you and me we're history Em There ain't nothing left to say C1 D When I...will get you alone... [Verse 3] G D Maybe we could find a room? Asus4 E Where we could see what we should do... G D Maybe you know its true? A E E7 Well, living with me is like keeping a fool. [Bridge] Am7 In every man, in every hand, Em In every kiss you understand, C1 That living is for other men, D I hope you know that I am me... [Chorus] Am7 Em So come on, I'm thinking about history, C1 And I'm living for history, D And I think you know I'm bound for you, Cause I am... [Bridge] Am7 Em And one and one is two, but three is company C1 When you're thinking about the things you do, D And you're thinking about the things you do... [Verse 4] G D I wanna tell you my tale... Asus4 E How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail... G D Do you understand? A E There's more in a smile that in a hand. [Bridge] Am7 In every sky, in every kiss Em There's one thing that you've might have missed C1 D Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you? [Chorus] Am7 But you and me, and so am I Em Lets make it up C1 Lets even try to live today, so why not smile? D Don't dream away your life... [Middle 8] Am7 Cause it is mine... Em It is mine... C1 Is that a crime? D Is that a crime? Am7 Em This life is mine, but the bed ain't made, C1 D Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope... Am7 Em Oh, the bed ain't made, C1 D But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
