                      Oasis - Waiting For The Rapture
                             Dig Out Your Soul
                                   2008


 One of my favourites this song, it's based on the alternate version from 
 the bonus disc and also the acoustic version Noel did for the Live Lounge
 on Radio 1.

 Chords:
         
       Am          (x02210)
       Am/D        (x00210)
       Fmaj7/C     (x33210)
       C/G         (332010)
       E           (022100)
       E7          (020100)

 The struming pattern based on the acoustic version from the live lounge is 
 pretty much this:  D   D   D U D D D  D U before changing to the next chord.

 During the intro there's also a hammer-on on the D string during the Am
 chord and also during the verses when this chord is played. Noel
 also uses a C/G but a regular C can be played. I'm not 100% sure there's 
 an E7 played but it sounds good anyway when playing on just an acoustic.


 Intro:    | Am


 Verse 1:

     (Am)                              Am/D

          A big love to fall down from the sky.
