Love You ‘Til the Day I Die
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
— Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I
Was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
On two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
And «side chords» in between to make things interesting. (for exam-
Ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would
Suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
— The bridge («Frost on the window pane…») is particularly tricky
In this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti-
Fully.
INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
B7
There’s closets in my head where dirty things are kept
Em
That never see the light of day
B7
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Em
Just to see the look that’s on your face
B7
Sometimes I can’t be straight I don’t want to hurt you
Em
So forgive me if I tell a lie
B7
Sometimes I come on cold but don’t believe it
Em
I will love you till the day I die
[*** NOTE: See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
Em G F#m A Em G F#m A
I believe in doing things backwards
Em G F#m A Em G F#m A
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Here comes trouble, there’s nothing wrong when I relax
I’m talking to myself you’re coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can’t be straight I don’t want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don’t believe it
I will love you till the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Em B*
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain
G/B* G(11)/B*
All makes me glad of you
C B C Em G F#m A
Though I am far away I am always with you
Em G F#m A
Know the answer before you know the question
Em
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might
Em B G/B G(11)/B
I’m all alone, always alone
C B
Though I am far away
C B(VII)
I am always with you
