HEY NOW - OASIS
The intro to this song changes chords quite weirdly, as you play the G for an extra beat before swapping to
the Em for 3 beats. Listen to the song, or even better the acoustic demo, to get a grasp of the strumming
pattern.
[Intro]
G Em x4
[Verse 1]
G
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Em
Just as the sky turned black
G
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
Em
I never did find my way back
G
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
Em
And what will it hold for me
G
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
Em
You're standing ignoring me
[Chorus]
Bb Am C
I thought that I heard someone say now
G Bb
There's no time for running away now
A G
Hey now! Hey now!
Em G Em G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Em G Em D
Feel no shame
[Verse 2]
G
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Em
Was a sign on the wall that read
G
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
Em
What is written inside of your head
G
And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Em
Or living inside of my skin
G
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Em
Can I never let anyone in ?
[Chorus]
Bb Am C
I thought that I heard someone say now
G Bb
There's no time for running away now
A G
Hey now! Hey now!
Em G Em G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Em G Em D
Feel no shame
[Solo]

Bb A C G
Bb A G
Em G Em G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Em G Em D
Feel no shame
[Verse 3]
G
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Em
Just as the sky turned black
G
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
Em
I never did find my way back
G
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
Em
And what will it hold for me
G
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
Em
You're standing ignoring me
[Last Chorus]
Bb Am C
I thought that I heard someone say now
G Bb
There's no time for running away now
A G
Hey now! Hey now!
Em G Em G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Em G Em D
Feel no shame
