Gossip (antes conocidos como The Gossip) es una banda indie rock estadounidense cuya líder, Beth Ditto, es su cantante rebelde y polémica, al hablar abiertamente de su sexualidad y peso. Prueba de ello es su hit y su tercer álbum homónimo: «Standing in the way of control» (2006). Esta canción está escrita por Beth como respuesta al gobierno americano al no permitir el matrimonio entre gays. El tema ha sido remezclado por bandas como Le Tigre y Soulwax Nite version.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
The main theme is basically: F F FFFG... (1 1 1113 ...) played on the lower E string, so the simplest chord progression would be just E and F#m.
A quick and dirty interpretation of the song. I just tried to play this song for the first time so it's not nearly perfect, but it should give you a basic idea and something to start with.
[Intro] EF#m ... EF#m
[Verse] F#mE When I opened my eyes what did I see F#mE Falling from the skies in front of me Bm Not quite but close F#mBm As though I'd seen a ghost
F#mE Was it too much, to feel the touch F#mE Of someone that you couldn't love F#mBm Cause someone that comes and goes E Ohh...
[Chorus] DE So how are you I'm doing well F#mE I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell BmDF#m I'm not as strong as you thought I was
DE When you fall down do you hear the sound F#m Of broken dreams, hitting the ground DEF#m Baby please we're casualties of war
[Verse] F#mEF#m You lost the fight I heard it was a good fight EF#m The kind that no one wins and no ones right Bm I could have walked away F#mBm I should have walked away
F#mE You always had a habit of keeping score F#mEF#m You might have won the battle but not the war EF#m What goes around comes around E ten fold
[Chorus] DE So how are you I'm doing well F#mE I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell BmDF#m I'm not as strong as you thought I was
DE When you fall down do you hear the sound F#m Of broken dreams, hitting the ground DEF#m Baby please we're casualties of war
[Bridge] EF#m ... EF#m
[Chorus] DE So how are you I'm doing well F#mE I'm fighting tears you couldn't tell BmDF#m I'm not as strong as you thought I was
DE When you fall down do you hear the sound F#m Of broken dreams, hitting the ground DEF#m Baby please we're casualties of war
DE When you fall down do you hear the sound F#m Of broken dreams, hitting the ground DEF#m Baby please we're casualties of war
