You Could Be Happy by Snow Patrol
This is my first attempt ever at actually writing a chord chart so go easy on me.
This song is actually played with a keyboard or xylophone, but you can pluck it or
strum it however you feel comfortable. If you want to play in key with the
actual song, use a Capo on III. I like to play the G on the 1st and 3rd verses like this:
e--3---|
B--3---|
G--4---|
D------|
A------|
E------|
And on the 2nd and 4th verse as a 6 string bar chord, naturally progressing from
the F#m bar chord.
Intro: D Dmaj7 G
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GYou (320003@1)could be happy and I won't know
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GBut (320003@1)you weren't happy the day I watched you go
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GAnd (320003@1)all the things that I wish I had not said
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GAll (320003@1)played in lips til it's madness in my head
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GIs (320003@1)it too late to remind you of how we were?
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GAnd (320003@1)not our last days of silence, scream, and blur?
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GMost (320003@1)of what I remember, makes me sure
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GI (320003@1)should have stopped you from walking out the door
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) G (320003@1)You could be happy, I hope you are
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
You made me happier than I've been by far
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GSomehow (320003@1)everything I own, smells of you
D (xx0232@1) Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) GAnd (320003@1)for the tiniest moment, it's all not true
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GDo (320003@1)the things that you always wanted to
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GWithout (320003@1)me there to hold you back, don't think just do
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GMore (320003@1)than anything I want to see you go
Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) GTake (320003@1)a glorious bite out of the whole world
D Dmaj7 G - fade to black .
