The entire song goes:
E B C#m A B
However, the strumming and chord shape changes, depending on the part of the song. In the verse, the chords
are played on the off-beat as upstroke ska skanks and the are played as ska chords:,
E B C#m A B
e|-4---7----9----5--7-----------------------|
B|-5---7----9----5--7-----------------------|
G|-4---8----9----6--8-----------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
In the pre-chorus, the chords are played both as skanks, and as continuos power chords on the A-string:
E B C#m A B
e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|-9---4----4----2--4-----------------------|
D|-9---4----4----2--4-----------------------|
A|-7---2----4----0--2-----------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
In the chorus the chords are long and distorted and are played only as power chords.
In the part of the song, that I have chosen to call "build-up", it's just E for the whole part. It starts as
skanks, but ends with a fast pump of power chords, leading up to the final chorus.
[Verse]
E B C#m A B
Sitting on a bus stop in a foreland a foreign town
E B
Don't remember what happened last night
C#m A B
But I pick myself up from the ground
[Pre-chorus]
E B
Every day, every night it's a fist and a fight
C#m A B
And I've done nothing wrong
E B
Every day is the same and I'm always to blame
C#m A B
But I've done nothing wrong so now I'm (Gone)
[Chorus]
E B
Look inside what do you see
C#m A B
A broken heart from you to me (Now I'm gone)
E B
And everyday the sun don't shine
C#m A B
Grey skies and troubled times
[Verse 2]
E B
All the things I wanted to say
C#m A B
But I never got a chance to express
E B
Writings on the wall, baby girl
C#m A B
But you still act like theres something left
[Pre-chorus]
E B
Every day, every night it's a fist and a fight
C#m A B
And I've done nothing wrong
E B
every day is the same and I'm always to blame
C#m A B
But I've done nothin wrong so now I'm (Gone)
[Chorus]
E B
Look inside what do you see
C#m A B
A broken heart from you to me (Now Iøm gone)
E B
And everyday the sun don't shine
C#m A B
Grey skies and troubled times
