The band called evermore: it consists of 3 guys who are actually from New Zealand but live in Sydney. This song is also sung on the tv show The O.C. Firstly, Evermore play all their songs with their guitars tuned down half a step. So, the top E becomes an Eb, A an Ab, and so on. Most tuners have a function that allows you to tune a semitone flat, so getting there shouldn't be too hard for you all. Secondly, John plays a Takemine 12 String steel stringed guitar. So these chords sound a lot more open than they will on a 6 string. Just a side note. Ok, There are three chords that you hear throughout the verse, going around in a loop. Here they are, notated with the words for timing purposes: Am Em Dm Am Monday Morning, hesitate, I can't get out of bed Am Em Dm Am I'd rather go back to the dreams living in my head... (and so on) In notation, those chords are played: Am : X0 10 980 Em: 0 10 9X80 Dm: XX0 10 8 10 So that Am feels a lot like a cheating F (XX321X) just its played up high, and that Em is a lot like a C, just played up high. I dont know what that Dm is officially, but thats the chord! For the chorus, those same chords repeat, then a new progression is introduced: Am Em Dm Am Ride on, ride till early morning sun Am Em Dm Am B/G (x20030) Ride on, like the dawning of the day C F C B/G It's too late, to let all your feelings show Am Em Dm Am Go on, til the night is swept away The slow down your moving too fast bit is the same chords with the same jerky rythym (Am, Em, Dm, Am), but right at the end of that little section John goes "Cos its TOO LATE now..." and strums a single chord four times before going into "Ride on..." He also does it with just one strum before the first chorus. That single chord he's hitting is an F. (X33010) And thats pretty much the song. Theres not a whole heap too it, just some clever timing stuff. Practise hard, you'll get it! Hope that helps. Lyrics: Monday morning, hesitate I can't get out of bed I'd rather go back to the dreams I'm living in my head Yeah... yeah yeah yeah Tuesday evening, pack my bags I'm heading out the door I left a box of memories lying on the floor Yeah... yeah yeah yeah Ride on... ride 'til early morning turn Ride on... like the dawning of the day It's too late to let all your feelings show Go on 'til the night is swept away Running from the city lights Running from this empty life I'm running out of time tonight Screaming out for help! Help! Slow down you're moving too fast Go home you'll feel better for it Oh boy you better stop dreaming it's all in your head 'Cause it's too late now Ride on... ride 'til early morning turn Ride on... like the dawning of the day It's too late to let all your feelings show Go on 'til the night is swept away Ride on... run 'til early morning sun Ride on... like the morning of the day It's too late To let every feeling show Ride on...
