Live Forever by Oasis

original
a cover by bethanhorton18

[NOTE: I've tried like crazy to determine if the "Am7" used in this song
is really an "Am", but since the two chords are so similar sounding, I
couldn't be sure. Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's an "Am7" during most of
the song, but an "Am" at the end when Liam's singing "Gonna live forever"
over and over.]


Verse 1
-------
G        D
Maybe, I don't really wanna know
Am7
How your garden grows
C      D
I just wanna fly


Verse 2
-------
G D
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
       Am7
in the morning rain
      C        D
as it soaks it to the bone


Chorus
------
Em      D
  Maybe I just wanna fly
   Am7
Wanna live I don't wanna die
   C
Maybe I just wanna breathe
      D       Em
Maybe I just don't believe
D
Maybe you're the same as me
    Am7
We see things they'll never see
    Fmaj7
You and I are gonna live forever


End of the song alternates   Am   and   Fmaj7  while Liam's singing
"Gonna live forever" again and again.

Capo at 5

This tab is by ear and one of my firsts.  Marcus appears to play w/ capo on 5 in live
and their official video.  He may use different fingerings for the chords however).  GL!


Intro:   (Listen for rhythm and strumming pattern)

Am      C       x4

(To emulate banjo play   Am    Am-add6     Am    C    the last two times)

Verse 1:
Am
Weep for yourself, my man,
                               C
you'll never be what is in your heart.
Am
Weep little lion man,
                                       C
you're not as brave as you were at the start.
G
Rate yourself and rape yourself,
F            Fmaj7            C
take all the courage you have left.
G
Wasted on fixing all the
F                Fmaj7             C
problems that you made in your own head.

Chorus: (Sustain C chord)

         Am          F          C
But it was not your fault but mine,
         Am         F         C
and it was your heart on the line.
         Am        F        C
I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn't I, my dear?
                  Am
Didn't I, my dear?


Am    C     x2


Verse 2:
Am
Tremble for yourself my man,
                                       C
you know that you have seen this all before.
Am
Tremble little lion man,
                                C
you'll never settle any of your scores.
G
Your grace is wasted in your face,
     F               Fmaj7            C
your boldness stands alone among the wreck.
G
Learn from your mother or else
F               Fmaj7            C
spend your days biting your own neck.


Chorus:
         Am          F          C
But it was not your fault but mine,
         Am         F         C
and it was your heart on the line.
         Am        F        C
I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine,

and it was your heart on the line.

I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn't I, my dear?
         Am (Mute)
But it was not your fault but mine,

and it was your heart on the line.

I really fucked it up this time,

didn't I, my dear?
                 C
Didn't I, my dear?

Close your eyes, have no fear, the monster's gone, he's on the run

And your daddy's here
Em/D                                       D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Everyday, in every way it's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Cos it's a long way to go! A hard row to hoe! Yes it's a long way to go

But in the meantime....

Before you cross the street take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean.

Capo 3
Std Tuning

G D/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Em                 D        D/F#    G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             D/F#           Em
He smiles politely back at you
             D       D/F#      G
You stare politely right on through
               D/F#          Em
Some sort of window to your right
             D       D/F#      G
As he goes left and you stay right
              D/F#             Em
Between the lines of fear and blame
                   D     D/F#      
And you begin to wonder why you came

  C             D                Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G             D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C                   D                Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             G             D/F#
Had I known how to save a life



Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Just to get it all out

Working Class Hero by John Lennon

Original
 Am                           G             Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
                         G          Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
                                     G       Am
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
    Am           (D)      G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
    Am           (D)      G          Am
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me


STRUMMING PATTERN:
On the Am, hit the base string (A), then strum a bit.  Then hit the open
D string and hammer onto the second fret, strum a bit more, and repeat ad
nauseum.  The D chords in paranetheses I sometimes add for
variety, but they don't actually exist on the album.

Difficulty: intermediate

Am      E7    Am
It was down at old Joe's bar room
           Am      Fmaj7  C    E7 
At the corner      by the square
                 Am    E7    Am   Am/G 
They were serving drinks as usual
             Fmaj7   E7       Am

On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy
      Am           Fmaj7    C    E7 
His eyes were bloodshot     red
                Am            E7            Am   Am/G 
And as he turned to the crowd around him

These were the very words he said.

Stretched out on a long, white table
      Fmaj7   E7     Am
So young, so   cold, so fair
 
Am             E7         Am
     Seventeen coal-black horses
Am            Fmaj7    C    E7 
Hitched to a rubber-tied hack
 Am         E7           Am    Am/G 
Seven girls goin' to the graveyard
         Fmaj7         E7     Am
Only six of them are coming back
 

            Am         E7             Am
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her

   Wherever she may     be
              Am         E7         Am    Am/G

And never find another man like me
 
 
Am           E7     Am

My gang will know I died standing pat

I want six crap-shooters for my pallbearers
      Am          Fmaj7   C    E7 
A chorus girl to sing me a   song
            Am           E7           Am        Am/G 
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon

To raise hell as we roll along

Let her go. Let her go, God bless her
Am          Fmaj7   C    E7

Am                        E7     Am
     Now that you've heard my story
Am                         Fmaj7   C    E7 
      I'll take another shot of       booze
Am                      E7       Am     Am/G 
       And if anyone here should ask you 
Fmaj7         E7        Am    
    I've got the gambler's blues
 
            Am         E7             Am
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her
Am          Fmaj7   C    E7 
   Wherever she may     be
              Am         E7         Am    Am/G 
She may search this wide world over
                Fmaj7      E7     Am    
And never find sweet man like me
