Someone Else's Story
from CHESS
Music by Bj?rn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo: N/A

These chords are taken directly from the Piano/Vocal score of CHESS.

Using a capo is probably your best bet, so just transpose down a half step for each 
capo. (i.e. Capo: 6 = transpose 6 halfsteps down)
However, the modulation for the last verse up a half-step makes it relatively more 
difficult no matter how you choose to capo it.

| = precedes 4/4 measure
[ = precedes 2/4 measure

INTRO: 2 Bars of Gb
