Also, a chord you\r\nmight not be sure about is Gsus4 - I would simply play this similar to a G\r\nbarr, but it would be Gsus4 (353533) - you just move your pinkie finger up\r\none string, which then makes it easier for the change (this is actually\r\nclassed as a G7, but it should be Gsus4 as 355533, which I personally find\r\nquite hard to play and change with as well).\r\n\r\nYou might need to listen to the song to get the timings exactly right, but\r\nI've tried to position them where they are played in relation to the lyrics.\r\n\r\nAnyway, hope it helps :)\r\n\r\n\r\nCapo 2\r\n\r\n\r\n[Intro](x3):\r\n\r\n[ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 1]\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]Bm[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nThis is the next century,   [/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]Bm[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nWhere the universal's free,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]Am[/ch]                    \r\nYou can find it anywhere,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]            [ch]Am[/ch]\r\n  Yes, the future's been sold.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]      [ch]Bm[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nEvery night we're gone,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]    [ch]Bm[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nAnd to karaoke songs,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]Am[/ch]                   \r\nHow we like to sing along,[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]Am[/ch] \r\nAlthough the words are wrong.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab]  [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nIt really, really, really could happen,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nYes, it really, really, really could happen.[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Bm[/ch]                                  \r\nWhen the days they seem to fall through you, [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]C/B[/ch]      [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell just let them go.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Orchestra solo](x2): \r\n\r\n[ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n                        \r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]Bm[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nNo one here is alone,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]           [ch]Bm[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nSatellites in every home,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]Am[/ch]                   \r\nYes the universal's here, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]          [ch]Am[/ch]                   \r\n  Here for everyone.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Bridge]\r\n\r\n[ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]            [ch]Bm[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]Bm[/ch]              \r\nEvery paper that you read   [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]           [ch]Am[/ch]                   \r\nSays tomorrow's your lucky day,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                   [ch]Am[/ch]                   \r\n  Well, here's your lucky day.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus](x2):\r\n\r\n[tab]  [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nIt really, really, really could happen,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nYes, it really, really, really could happen.[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Bm[/ch]                                  \r\nWhen the days they seem to fall through you, [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]C/B[/ch]      [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell just let them go.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Interlude](x2):                <--Chorus Chords\r\n\r\n[ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]C[/ch]\r\n[ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]C[/ch]\r\n[ch]Bm[/ch]   [ch]C[/ch]   [ch]C/B[/ch]   [ch]Am[/ch]   [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\r\n\r\nEnd on G","plain_text":"Tabbed by: GuitarMan147 (ebonywaraxe!)\n\nHey everyone, this is a great song and I've played these chords along and\nit definitely sounds right to me - if you think there's anything wrong,\nplease just post a correction or comment and I'll check it out :)\n\nIn this song, I'd recommend that you use the barr chords for the G (355433)\nand Bm (224432) - simply as I think it sounds better.
