Tuning: E A D G B E
That’s Not How the Story Goes from "A Series of Unfortunate Events" 190-200bpm Played in 3 Standard Tuning, No Capo These chords are correct to the original recording of this song, which can be found in Episode 8 ("The Miserable Mill, Part Two") of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series on Netflix. Notes on playing: I have chosen to make the transition chord a B7 rather than a regular B to completely eliminate the need for barre chords, although the song can be played with a B instead. The entire song can be played with barre chords, however I have also listed the exact chords I play below. The following is a link to my cover of the song I posted on YouTube using these chords. I hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kF0DC4RP6Y -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords Used: G: 320003 Em: 022000 Cm: x31010 B7: x21202 D: x00232 F#m: xx4222 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] G B Em B7 (whistling) [Verse 1]

But there’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes You Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day But that’s Emnot how the sDtory goes
[Verse 2]
You might Gthink that two parents both Embrave and both true Would Glive ‘til a nice ripe old Emage But CmI’m sad to say I have Gbad news for you The B7curtain rains down on the stage
[Chorus]
Yes, there’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes You might Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day But that’s Emnot how the story Dgoes
[Bridge]
I Donce loved a girl and she F#mthought well of me We Dthought we’d be happy toF#mgether But Cnow I’m alone as Gyou can well see And she’s B7cold in her grave forever
[Chorus]
There’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes You might Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day But that’s Emnot how this story Dgoes
[Verse 3]
The Gworld is a pair of Emill-fitting pants And Gother dire hideous Emclothes You may Cmthink that three children would Glead pleasant lives But that’s B7not how the story goes

That’s just how the story goes [Outro] (whistling) G Em G Em
