Snow Patrol is an alternative rock band that formed in Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom in 1994 and currently based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where most of the band members are from. They consist of Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Nathan Connolly (guitar, vocals), Paul Wilson (bass), Tom Simpson (keyboards) and Jonny Quinn (drums). Lightbody and Quinn are the only original members who remain in the band.
The band became wildly successful on both sides of the Atlantic on the back of their fourth record
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is a b-side off the limited edition of Snow Patrol's first album "Songs for Polar Bears." If you listen you should be able to hear where the chord changes are. It's a very clever song, enjoy.
Dmaj9Dmaj7G2Gmaj9Cmaj9 I'm waiting for something new Fmaj7Fmaj9Dmaj9Dmaj7 The rain washes my thoughts away G2Gmaj9Cmaj9 I'm longing to sing this song Fmaj7Fmaj9Dmaj9Dmaj7 To show you to hold you G2Gmaj9Cmaj9 I'm nervous so excited Fmaj7Fmaj9Dmaj9Dmaj7G2Gmaj9 You make me feel feel I'm not alone Cmaj9 It's you Fmaj7Fmaj9Dmaj9Dmaj7G2Gmaj9Cmaj9Fmaj7Fmaj9* Just you
End on Fmaj7
*On this chord, as you change from Fmaj7 release your finger from the b string so it is left open, as this is how it sounds in the song.
Nb: The reason the lyrics and chords are staggered is so it is clear where the chord changes are in relation to the lyrics, hopefully this makes sense and also makes it easier to follow :) Also, on the Cmaj9 chord, you can hammer on the 3rd fret on the top E string which also sounds good :)
