Song: Don't Look Back in Anger
Artist: Oasis
Album: (What's the Story) Morning Glory
Transcribed by: Jim Ferraiolo (jmferraiolo@hcacad.holycross.edu)
This is another one of my favorite tracks off this incredible album. I'm
probably going to transcribe the entire thing, because I love it that
much. I've adopted a somewhat new format of notation for this particular
transcription, because the changes are so easily outlined. If you
enjoy this transcription or use it, let me know. If you have any questions
or problems, feel free to make any necessary additions without changing
the original.

[Verse 1]
CSlip inside the Geye of your mindAm
Don't you E7know you might Ffind G
A better place to plCay
[Am, G] - Transition chords, played quickly
[Verse 2]
CYou said that Gyou'd never beenAm
But all the E7things that you've Fseen G
Slowly fade Caway
[Prechorus]
FSo I start a Fmrevolution from my Cbed
FCos you said the Fmbrains I have went to my Chead
FStep outside the Fmsummertime's in Cbloom
GStand up beside the fireplace
G#/E7Take that look from off your face
AmCos you ain't ever Ggoing to burn my Fheart ouuuuuuuGuuut
[Chorus]
CSo SGally can Amwait, she E7knows it's too Flate
As we're Gwalking on Cby
CHer soul Gslides Amaway, but E7don't look Fback in anger
I Gheard you Csay
[Mini solo over once through the verse progression]
Note: I think this solo is mostly in A-minor pentatonic.
[Verse 3, prechorus, chorus, are all same progressions as earlier]
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock and Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
Gonna start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart ouuuuuuuuuut
Chorus again:
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say
[Solo over prechorus chords]
Again, this solo is based mainly on pentatonic ideas. The length is once
through the prechorus progression. Double the length if you want to solo
a bit longer. Work those bends and kick some more emotion into an already
emotional song!
[Drum fill]
Chorus again, but endings:
F (upstroke)
But don't look back in anger
FmDont look back in anger
I heard you Csay
Once more through the verse progression, then end on:
