I have never posted a song before, but I have used this site regularly for many years. After looking at all the versions here of this song and some of the chord names were not right I decided it was time to put back. This how I play it. The chord names are correct. Standard shapes. In my opinion it sounds fuller. This just my interpretation of the song, but I think you will find that you can play it dead on with the various versions of the song you will find out there. And it is easier than trying to mute strings up around the 5th-7th frets. The voicing is obviously different from the original. One odd chord: A*= Aadd9 flat5 = x0120x Sideways by Citizen Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) Easy Version Intro: Em - Dsus2 - A* - Dsus2 2X Em Dsus2 You know it ain't easy For these thoughts here to leave me A* Dsus2 There're no words to describe it In French or in English Am Em 'cause diamonds they fade A* Dsus2 And flowers they bloom And I'm telling you Chorus: Am That these feelings won't go away Em They've been knockin' me sideways A* They've been knockin' me out lately Dsus2 (When)ever you come around me Am These feelings won't go away Em They've been knockin' me sideways A* I keep thinking in a moment that Dsus2 Time will take them away Am Dsus2~A* But these feelings won't go away... Am Dsus2~A* These feelings won't go away Repeat all again... Play the following 2X Am Em A* 'cause diamonds they fade And flowers they bloom Dsus2 Am And I'm telling you I'm telling you >Chorus 1X to end
