Song: Hayley
Artist: Empires
Tuning: Standard
A E Bm F#m
E|---5---0---2----2---| *Note: This song can also be played
B|---5---0---3----2---| with a capo on the 2nd fret. The chord
G|---6---1---4----2---| shapes would then be G (instead of A),
D|---7---2---4----4---| D (instead of E), Am (instead of Bm),
A|---7---2---2----4---| and Em (instead of F#m).
E|---5---0---x----2---|
The strumming pattern is mostly up-strums, with a palm-muted down-strum
after every other up-strum. But it sounds fine if you do the whole thing
up-strumming as well.
Chorus x2:
A E
Hayley, it doesn't even matter now
Bm F#m E
We could've truly had it all
Verse x1:
A E
They took him to the hills where they made him a star
Bm
Everyone loved who they knew from afar
F#m
They famed a deceiver, who wed a believer
E A
With her fed, she conceived his little girl
E
Who oppressed called in danger
Torched his eyes with her anger
Bm
All the flashes captured daddy's dismay
F#m E
And she took her life before she could run away
Repeat Chorus x1
Verse x1:
A E
I went there, to the site they had said she would be
Bm
Too cold a world for a girl seventeen
F#m
I couldn't complete it, they wouldn't foresee it
E A
Love is now where her life couldn't be
E
Oh, believe it can happen
Death is time's true companion
Bm
And the future takes a second to be
F#m E
Close your eyes and feel what is happening
Repeat Chorus x2
Out:
A E
Hayley, the dark world took you under
Bm
Whatever made you wonder?
F#m E
Whatever made you wonder?
End on A.
The lyrics aren't 100%, as far as I know, but you can at least
get a feel for the timing.
