The Jam The Bitterest Pill W/M by Paul Weller
Here's a stab at prochord in a tune that's ok for acoustic guitar. From [email protected](Gads, one of them!)
(A)In your white lace and your (C#M)wedding bells (Bm)You look the pic(D)ture of con(F#m)tented new (E)wealth. (A)But from the onlooking fool who bel(C#m)ieved your lies (F#m)I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
CHORUS (Bm)For the bitterest (D)pill is (G)hard to swal(A)low (Bm) The love I (D)gave hands in (G)sad colored (A)mocking shadows, yeah (C) yeah, (Bm- A - D)
When the wheel of fortune broke you fell to me, out of grey skies to change my misery the vacant spot your beating heart took its place. But now I watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room.
Chorus (Bm)For the bitterest (D)pill is (G)hard to swal(A)low (Bm) The love I (D)gave hands in (G)sad colored (A)mocking shadows, yeah (C) yeah, (Bm- A - D)
(D)The bitterest pill is (Bm)mine to take, (D)But if I took it for 100 years I (C)couldn't feel (Bm)any more ill
repeat
Now Autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life, Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight. The dying spark you left your mark on me. The promise of your kiss but with someone else.
Chorus (Bm)For the bitterest (D)pill is (G)hard to swal(A)low (Bm) The love I (D)gave hands in (G)sad colored (A)mocking shadows, yeah (C) yeah, (Bm- A - D)
(D)The bitterest pill is (Bm)mine to take, (D)But if I took it for 100 years I (C)couldn't feel (Bm)any more ill
repeat, then end with
(D)The bitterest pill is (Bm)mine to take, (D)But if I took it for 100 years I (C)couldn't feel (Bm)any more (A)ill, ill, yeah, yeah.
