• Song:

    Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now

  • Artist:

    The Smiths

This isn't a very difficult song to play, really. But the intro on the other versions 
were awful. So, I made a profile and am never playing this song again now that I finished.

So, capo 2....notes relative

Intro: For these first little barre chords, I like to add a little bit of that Jamaican 
style rake to the chords. The legend for the symbols is at the bottom

E|--------7----------3------2~---0~------------|
B|--------9----------5------3~---2~------------|
G|--------8----------4------2~---2~------------|
D|--------9----------5------4~---2~------------|
A|--------7----------3------2~---0~------------|
E|-------(7)--------(3)------------------------|

Then (please listen to the song for the actual rhythm and timing) shuffle these with 
some groove to it like how Marr plays:

|-----000-0-00-x-00---000-0-00-x-00---|
|-----555-0-55-x-00/--777-0-77-x-00---|
|-----444-4-44-x-44/--666-6-66-x-66---|     X2
|-----333-3-33-x-33/--555-5-55-x-55---|
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|

And right away to the VERSE (make your chords real chirpy)

|--7--77--9--99-------9---9---------0-0-00--00--0---------|
|--9--99--9--99------12---10---9----3/5-55--57--0---------|
|--8--88--9--99-------9---9---------4/6-66--68--8---------|
|--9--99--9--99------11---9---------5/7-77--79--9---------|       X2
|--7--77--9--99-------9---9-------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|

IIIIIIIINNNN MYYYYY LIIIIIIFE.....
|---7-77----------0-0-00--00--0----|
|---9-99---7------3/5-55--57--0----|
|---8-88----------4/6-66--68--8----|
|---9-99----------5/7-77--79--9----|        X2
|---7-77---------------------------|
|----------------------------------|


TO PEOPLE WHO....(at this part, you really need to listen to the song and really be 
"feeling it". It is much to difficult to tab out otherwise)

|--------------------------11--1112-xx-11-11----------------------|
|---5/999-x-9-x-7-9-x-9-7--12--1212-xx-11-11---3/5-x-55-5/7-0-----|
|---4/888-x-8-x-8-8-x-8-8--11--1111-xx-11-11---4/6-x-66-6/8-8-----|        X2
|---5/999-x-9-x-9-9-x-9-9----------------------5/7-x-77-7/9-9-----|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

The little fill

|-------------------------------9--16~----16/17/18---18\----|
|---999-9-x-7--9-x-7-5----------7--16~----16/17/18---18\----|
|-------------------------------6--16~----16/17/18---18\----|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------|

TWO LOVAS ENTWINED.........

|--------------0------------------0--------------0-----------0--------------|
|----------------0-------------0-----------2--------2-----------0-----------|
|--------9----------------4-------------4-----4-----------2-----------------|
|-----9-----9------9----2---2--------4-----------------3--------------4-----|
|--7------------------4--------------------------------------------2-----2--|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---4/9-99---------|
|---4/9-99-x-7-7---|
|---4/9-99-x-8-8---|
|---4/9-99-x-9-9---|
|------------------|
|------------------|

Do this four times and back to the intro, play everything over once more but when you 
get to this last part, you play it six times, you then go back to the very first part with 
the barre chords but it goes like this:

|---7-----3-----7-----0~-----16~---|
|---9-----5-----9-----2~-----16~---|
|---8-----4-----8-----2~-----16~---|
|---9-----5-----9-----2~-----------|
|---7-----3-----7-----0~-----------|
|----------------------------------|

THE END....rock on and such.
