More chords by Richard Ashcroft

Genre: rock, britpop, alternative


This is an acoustic version by Richard Ashcroft which is very much

simplified, but it's basically

the way he plays the chords live.

He finally gained rights to his song Bitter Sweet Symphony after a more than

20 years legal battle.

He said "... thank you so much Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, for

acknowledging me as the writer of a

f***ing masterpiece — it’ll live forever."

Song: Bitter Sweet Symphony

Band: Richard Ashcroft ft. chords from Keith Richards

Album: Urban Hymns

Tuning: Standard

It consists of 4 chords E, Esus, D and A. The Esus can be played with 3

fingers,

leaving the point finger on the 2nd fret and just adding the small finger to

2nd fret.

They are alternatively strummed to create the sound it has so do some up and

some

down strums.

It continues to build up slowly, playing the rhythm on and on, it never

changes, just the intensity.

[Intro]
E Esus D A
* A E Esus D A
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
E Esus D A
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die.
E Esus D A
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
E Esus D A
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah.
E Esus D A
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
E Esus D A
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
E Esus D A
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
E Esus D A
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
