I Know Its Over - Jeff Buckley Chords

Chords: C, Em, Am, F, G

More chords by Jeff Buckley

Genre: melodic rock, indie rock, folk rock


Use bar chords for F + G but lift your finger to leave the high E + B strings open.

During Am chords, he uses hammer-ons and pull-offs on the B and G string and also e string 3rd fret:

Making Am7 and Asus2 chords. He also sometimes jumps to Em for one strum so listen out.

During C chords, he does the same on e string 3rd fret

Listen through and play around with those or just make it up for some added flavour

[Verse]
C Em Am F G
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C Em Am
And as I climb into an empty bed, oh well, enough said

[Chorus]
F G F G
I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go
F G F G
Over, over

[Verse]
C Em Am F G
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
C Em
You see the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me
Am
Do you think you can help me?
F G C
Sad veiled bride please be happy
Em Am
Handsome groom give her room
F G C
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
Em Am F G
More than she loves you

[Chorus]
F G
I know it's over, still I cling
F G
I don't know where else I can go
F G F G
Over, over

[Post-Chorus]
C
I know it's over
F G F G Am F
It never really began but in my heart it was so real
G F G
And she even spoke to me and said

[Verse]
C Em Am F G
"If you're so funny, why are you on your own tonight?"
C Em Am F G
"And if you're so clever, why are you on your own tonight?"
