Subject: CRD: Verve - History


	This is a vain attempt for 'History' -- a really awesome song.
I can assure you right now that this is not 100% correct, but
I think I got most of the chord progressions right.  Apologies for
typos and/or wrong words.  If anyone has any time, please try to
correct any mistakes found.


			History - The Verve


INTRO: G D A - plus variations


G		    D	
I wander the lonely streets...

A		     E	         E7		
Behind where the old Thames does flow.

G		    D
And in every face I meet...

A			  E   E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.

G                      E
In every man, in every hand,

G                 E
In every kiss you understand,

G                        E
That living is for other men,

D                        (E)
I hope you too understand...

G                       D
I've got to tell you my tale...

A                      E E7
Of how I loved and how I fail...

G                D
I hope you understand?

A                          E    E7
This feeling should not be in a man.

G                        D
In every child, in every eye,

G                     E
In every sky above my head...

G             D
I hope that I know,

G                  D
So come with me in bed.

            G                D
Because its you and me we're history

            G               D
There ain't nothing left to say

     G            D   E
When I...will get you alone...

G                     D
Maybe we could find a room?

      A                 E         E7
Where we could see what we should do...

G                  D
Maybe you know its true?

A                            E         E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.

G                      E
In every man, in every hand,

G                 E
In every kiss you understand,

G                        E
That living is for other men,

D
I hope you know that I am me...

   G                           D
So come on, I'm thinking about history,

    A              E
And I'm living for history,

    G                              D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,


Cause I am...

G                  D                 E
And one and one is two, but three is company

G                              D
When you're thinking about the things you do,

G                             D
And you're thinking about the things you do...

G                   D
I wanna tell you my tale...

      A                           E     E7
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...

                D
Do you understand?

        A                    E    E7
There's more in a smile that in a hand.

G                      E
In every sky, in every kiss

        G                                E
There's one thing that you've might have missed

    G                   D                         E
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

G                   D
But you and me, and so am I

     E
Lets make it up

                 G           D
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?

G                     D
Don't dream away your life...

                                    E
			Cause it is mine...

                                    E
			      It is mine...
	
          E7
Is that a crime?

E         E7
Is that a crime?

             E              G        D
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,

    G              D                A            E7
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...

G                 D
Oh, the bed ain't made,

        G              D                E                D
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
