The Verve – The Drugs Dont Work chords
Chords:
Right Lads this is a fantastic song but working out the chords by ear is a pain in the parts so I've done my best to do all the work for you. This is my first ever tab so bear me. The Cadd9 used is a standard C shape but played with the 3rd fret on the high E string (1st) The Cadd9 variation is exactly the same except the D string is played open instead of second fret The Am is standard The Am variation is the same but the B string is played open instead of the first fret The Em is standard The Fadd9 is a standard F but instead of fretting the 1st fret you fret the 3rd on the E String (1st) Now the G is a weird one. It's a standard G but the B string is fretted at the 1st fret it's keeping the shape of the Fadd9 but the top 2 strings stay as if it were a standard G. Then its back to the Cadd9 Then G again and then its straight into the verse so your chord bank should look like this Cadd9 (X,3,2,0,1,3) Cadd9V (X,3,0,0,1,3) Am (0,0,2,2,1,0) AmV (0,0,2,2,0,0) Em (0,2,2,0,0,0) Fadd9 (0,0,3,2,1,3) G (3,2,0,0,1,3) F (1,3,3,2,1,1) Intro: Cadd9 Cadd9(variation) Am Am(variation) Fadd9 G Cadd9 GCadd9All this talk of getting oldAmIt's getting me down my loveEm Fadd9Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drownG Cadd9This time I'm comin' downCadd9And I hope you're thinking of meAmAs you lay down on your sideEmNow the drugs don't workFadd9They just make you worseG Cadd9But I know I'll see your face againNow the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again But I know I'm on a losing streak 'Cause I passed down my old street And if you wanna show, then just let me know And I'll sing in your ear again Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face againF Em Am'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, tooF Em AmJust like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off deadAll this talk of getting old It's getting me down my love Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown This time I'm comin' down Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again 'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead But if you wanna show, just let me know And I'll sing in your ear again Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again I'm never going down, I'm never coming down No more, no more, no more, no more, no more I'm never coming down, I'm never going down No more, no more, no more, no more, no more (Repeat and Fade Out)
