This follows the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes arrangement.
I pretty much play this as straight 8ths, punk-style, maybe opening up a little in the chorus
Me First in G, I play in D capo 2
In D, play Gadd9 as 30020x
A | Gadd9 | D/F# | Gadd9 | D |
D | G | |
It won’t be | easy, you’ll think it | strange |
A | |
When I try to explain how I | feel |
D | |
That I still need your love after | all that I’ve done |
Bm | |
You won’t bel | ieve me |
E7 | |
All you will see is a | girl you once knew |
E7 | |
Al | though she is dressed to the nines |
A | |
At sixes and sevens with | you |
A | Gadd9 | D/F# | Gadd9 | D |
D | G | |
I had to let it | happen, I had to | change |
A | |
Couldn’t stay all my life down at | heel |
D | |
Looking out of the window, staying | out of the sun |
Bm | |
So I chose | freedom |
E7 | |
Running around, trying | everything new |
E7 | |
But | nothing impressed me at all |
A | |
I never expected it | to |
A | Gadd9 | D/F# | Gadd9 |
D |
Don’t cry for me Argentina |
D | |
The | truth is I never left you |
A | |
All through my | wild days |
Gadd9 | |
My mad ex | istence |
D | |
I kept my | promise |
Let ring on “distance”
Gadd9 | |
Don’t keep your | distance |
D | G | |
And as for | fortune, and as for | fame |
A | |
I never invited them | in |
D | |
Though it seemed to the world they were | all I desired |
Bm | |
They are ill | usions |
E7 | |
They are not the solutions they | promised to be |
E7 | |
The | answer was here all the time |
A | |
I love you and hope you love | me |
A | Gadd9 | D/F# | Gadd9 |
D |
Don’t cry for me Argentina |
D | |
The | truth is I never left you |
A | |
All through my | wild days |
Gadd9 | |
My mad ex | istence |
D | |
I kept my | promise |
Gadd9 | |
Don’t keep your | distance |
Vox on the 3 of the chord
Em | A |
Have I said too much? |
D | A/C# | Bm | |
There’s nothing | more I can | think of to | say to you |
Vox on the 3 of the chord (again)
Em | A | |
But | all you gotta do is look at | me to know |
D | A/C# | G | |
That | every | word is | true |
D |
Don’t cry for me Argentina |
D | |
The | truth is I never left you |
A | |
All through my | wild days |
Gadd9 | |
My mad ex | istence |
D | |
I kept my | promise |
Gadd9 | |
Don’t keep your | distance |
