Tame Impala - Keep On Lying
off Lonerism (2012)
Killer song, on a killer album. There are not so many chords and it's fairly easy to do.
Here I give the chords played on the synth (you can perfectly play them on the guitar). All hail Kevin Parker
[First verse]
Fm//Bb/F (1 bar each, repeat x2)
Fm//Gm//G#//Bb//Cm (1-1-1/2-1/2)
Fm Bb/F
All I give are little clues
Fm Bb/F
Maybe one day I'll get through
Fm Gm
There is nothing I can do
Ab Bb Cm
I just keep on lying to you
Fm Bb/F
I only need to say it's true
Fm Bb/F
Only heart already knew
Fm Gm
But there is nothing you can do
Ab Bb Cm
I just keep on lying to you
Fm Bb/F
Should my cover ever blow
Fm Bb/F
Would you ever let it go
Fm Gm
There is something you should know
Ab Bb Cm
But hell if I'd ever let it show
Fm Bb/F
So here I am trying to be strong
Fm Bb/F
It was noon and my shadow's long
Fm Gm
I guess I'll go a day just as soon
Ab Bb Cm
As I get to the end of this song,
The structure is slightly different in this second "verse". Basically the last two bars are just repeated.
Ab Bb Cm
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song...
Ab Bb Cm
Soon I'll be a-
Ab Bb Cm
-lone...
Ab Bb Cm
Take all you
Ab Bb Cm
can...
Ab Bb Cm
Please un...der
Ab Bb Cm
-stand
Ab Bb Cm
That it never really was love
[Solos]
same chord progression as the first verse:
Fm//Bb/F (1 bar each, repeat x2)
Fm//Gm//G#//Bb//Cm (1-1-1/2-1/2)
Fm Bb/F
All I give are little clues
Fm Bb/F
Maybe one day I'll get through
Fm Gm
There is nothing I can do
Ab Bb Cm
I just keep on lying to you
Enjoy!
