High Hopes - Kodaline
Capo 4th
There’s a nice little fill in the verses and chorus with an Am-Am/G-F which I will
explain up here and note it below as ‘Fill’. It gets cluttery and inaccurate if filled in
with exact chord notations below.
First play the Am (assuming you’re using your index, middle and ring fingers), and then
move your pinky to the third fret on the low E string, and then to a barred F (E with
finger over the entire first fret). I use the barred F to get that nice bass line in the
fill, but you can use any other variation if you don’t care to much about it.
Anyways, enjoy the song :D I don’t think the lyrics are 100% accurate, so by all means
look for different ones.
[VERSE 1]

Broken bottles in the hotel lobby,

C C/B Am F
And in my dreams, I make the ghosts of all the people who’ve come and gone,

My evil, is just staring at the barrel of a gun,
