...I REMEMBER WHEN... by The Coral ---------------------............. *from 'The Coral' (2002)* Intro: Bm Em, D F#7 (x2) Verse 1: Bm Em I remember when, D F#7 I saw the sea freeze. Bm Em But it said nothing, D About the birds, F#7 And the bees. Bm They were swarming, Em Around my head; D F#7 You'd be better off dead. Bridge 1: G But I ain't going, F#m Down like that. G I ain't going, F#m Down like that. Chorus 1: Bm 'Cos I'm better than him, Em And I know where I've been, D You know where, F#7 I'm coming from. Bm And I'm hired to sin, Em But don't we all sin? D That is the truth, F#7 And the truth is grim. Bm It ain't easy in jail, Em The stories for sale, D Your father has died, F While he's gripped for bail. Bm He points to the west, Em And he leaves out the rest, D And wants you to be, F#7 His special guest. Interlude: G F#m Oo...oh, G F#m Oo...oh. Verse 2: Bm Em I remember when, D F#7 I saw the leaves fall. Bm Em I was in the woods, G And the gown you, F#7 Wouldn't wear to the Ball. Bm Em Into the ditch I fly; D F#7 Wanted dead or a-live. Bridge 2: G But I ain't going, F#m Down like that. G No, I ain't going, F#m Down like that. Chorus 2: Bm 'Cos I'm better than him, Em And I know where I've been, D You know where, F#7 I'm coming from. Bm And I'm hired to sin, Em But don't we all sin? D That is the truth, F#7 And the truth is grim. Bm It ain't easy in jail, Em The stories for sale, D Your father has died, F While he's gripped for bail. Bm He points to the west, Em And he leaves out the rest, D And wants you to be, F#7 His special guest. Interlude: G F#m Oo...oh, G F#m Oo...oh. Break: (Increase Tempo): Bm Em D F#7 Hi Hi Hi! Bm Em D F#7 Hi Hi Hi! (Original Tempo): G F#m (x2) Chorus 3: Bm 'Cos I'm better than him, Em And I know where I've been, D You know where, F#7 I'm coming from.
