Subject: TAB: Live Forever by Oasis
>From Fred Lidskog
Live Forever, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis
Song can be found on the album «Live Forever» and was released as a CD
single.
Chords used:
EADGBe
G (3×0033)
D (xx0232)
Am7 (x02010)
C (x32010)
Em (022000)
Fmaj7 (x33210)
[NOTE: I’ve tried like crazy to determine if the «Am7» used in this song
is really an «Am», but since the two chords are so similar sounding, I
couldn’t be sure. Anyways, I’m pretty sure it’s an «Am7» during most of
the song, but an «Am» at the end when Liam’s singing «Gonna live forever»
over and over.]
Verse 1
——-
G D
Maybe, I don’t really wanna know
Am7
How your garden grows
C D
I just wanna fly
Verse 2
——-
G D
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
Am7
in the morning rain
C D
as it soaks it to the bone
Chorus
——
Em D
Maybe I just wanna fly
Am7
Wanna live I don’t wanna die
C
Maybe I just wanna breathe
D Em
Maybe I just don’t believe
D
Maybe you’re the same as me
Am7
We see things they’ll never see
Fmaj7
You and I are gonna live forever
End of the song alternates Am and Fmaj7 while Liam’s singing
«Gonna live forever» again and again.
I’ll be sure to post the tabs for the guitar solos when I have time.

Okay, I got all of the solo in there for you, I read in a magazine
that it was played as a pentatonic scale on the 12th, and figured it out
from there, but it sounds closer, and better when played as a
pentatonic on the 14th so I maybe they were wrong, or maybe you have to
change your tunings. You decide. Also the part of the solo where Ive
indicated with *========*, I just pick all the notes in that lick, but
I don’t think you are supposed to. I let you figure that part out.

Maybe, I dont really wanna know,
How your garden grows, ’cause I just wanna fly.
Lately, did you ever feel the pain,
In the mornin’ rain, as it soaks you to the bone.
Maybe I just wanna fly, wanna live I don’t wanna die,
Maybe I just wanna breathe, Maybe I just don’t believe,
Maybe your the same as me, we see things they’ll never see,
You and I are gonna live forever.
Gonna live forever, gonna live forever.
Gonna live forever, gonna live forever,
Gonna live forever, gonna live forever.
