Hey, write me if you disagree.
Okay, the song consists of a riff over the verses and then
a simple chord progression for the chorus. Here’s the riff:
——————————————-
——3———3———3——-3———
—-0—0——0—0——0—0—————
———————————0——-0—
—0——-0-2——-2-3——-3——0h1—-
——————————————-
it’s basically a C chord with a walking bass note.
Play the riff over the verses.
[verse]
we sing the the nightingale song alive
streets never border further than my sight
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won’t lie
[chorus]
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
G C G
But the song sings loudly through these halls
[verse]
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won’t lie
[chorus]
F
And little ever changes when you
Am
View it from the sky
G
The damage we encounter
C
The earth just passes by
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
G C G
And we remind ourselves how small we are
