Atienza, Kevin Dutcher I have had trouble finding a chording of History to my satisfaction. All of the versions that I have come across have been flawed in many ways. But I found a reasonable one on a Verve site and have used this as my base for this one. I must then thank Atienza and Dutcher for theirs was the base for this work here. Bear in mind that I have only been able to complete this after discovering a chord (Asus4) used in The Verve's new album Urban Hymns. I hope this feels better than other chords around. It certainly does for me. Also their version has a different intro - one that sounds completely wrong and their Cmaj7 is incorrect - I prefer a a Cmaj with a G on high E string.)However, the lyrics on the copy were superb and I have used them and the structure provided. Chords A - X02220 Asus4 - X02200 Am - X02210 Am7 - X02010 C1 - X32013 D - X00232 D6 - X00202 E - 022100 E7 - 022130 Em - 022033 G - 320033 Intro: G-D6-Asus4-E - x2 Verse 1 ------- G D I wander the lonely streets...
