So I love De Capulet, and these chords are a pretty simple version of the song. It's
the same the whole way through, but I'm going to write it all down so it's easier to read.
Intro: (We can call it RIFF 1)
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 (x4)
Then we'll call this RIFF 2:
D D D D Dsus4 Dsus4 Dsus4Dsus4 D D D D Dsus4 Dsus4Dsus4 Dsus4
Don't strum, just strum straight down.
Play RIFF 2 (x2)
VERSE:
D (hold)
I stood at the edge of the sea
D Dsus4
I pretended to be somebody you couldn't leave
D D D D D D D
(strum straight down like riff 2)
The sun fell inside of my eyes
D D D D D D D D D D
I was very surprised to find that love is a right
RIFF 2 (repeat through section)
Not a privelege, not a chore
And as the sea struck the shore
I came upon a fact that I just couldn't ignore
Love is like a bike that I am learning to ride
Maybe with practice and time, I will get to you
CHORUS:
D Dsus4
I wanna hold your hand
D Dsus4
So I can hold your heart (x2)
D Dsus4
Our love, our love, is gonna be alright
D Dsus4
We've got to be honest from the start
C (hold)
So come on baby and let me hold your hand
D Dsus4
So I can hold your heart
D (hold)
S stands for opposite sex
And as she starts to undress
D D D D Dsus4
The M it stands for the mess that commenced at her feet
(RIFF 2)
The I inside of believe swept me off of my feet and it made me think
If L and E were flown atop a high-flying kite string,
Would they make it to the edge of the sea?
D (hold) Dsus4 (hold)
Love is like a song that I am learning to sing
D (hold) Dsus4 (hold)
On the first day of spring
D D Dsus4
Won't you sing with me?
CHORUS
N.C. RIFF 2
And love, love isn't only something we do
N.C.
Love, love for me is looking at you, ooh
RIFF 2
And I know you need to know my love is true
And I know (x3) how I can prove it to you
(Hey Jude-esque "screams" at this part...optional?)
CHORUS
RIFF 2
Our love, our love, our love is gonna be alright
(repeat and freestyle if you want)
Play RIFF 2 again
D D D D D D D (hold last one)
THE END!
