Brand new song, they've played it live but now the final version is here. Some words are off here and there
and some plain missing cause I learned them by ear. If you have corrections in them let me
know. Enjoy!
I play E and Emaj7, respectively, as:
e|-------|
A|-9---9-|
D|-9---8-|
G|-9---9-|
B|-7---7-|
E|-------|
[Intro/Verse]
E - Emaj7 x2 G#m - A - C#m - D - B
[Verse 1]
EHere's a Emaj7story about Ethe rules of death orEmaj7 glory to be G#mlearned by heart by all children or
men.
It's theA hour of the morning on the C#mday after the dawning when theD sun they said
would never set,
Bit finally set again.
Was it ECromwell or Emaj7Orwell who first Elead you to the staiEmaj7rwell which G#mleads only forever to
kingdoms to come?
Rushed aloAne by guiding hands, whispersC#m of the promised land
TheyD wished you luck and handed you a guBn
[Chorus]
CLife could be so hEandsome
CLife could be so Egay
CWe're going Enowhere
DBut nowhere, nowhere is on ouBr way
[Verse 2]
In Ethe pub thaEmaj7t night rackingE out the lines Emaj7of shite
G#mPutting to right all of the world's great wrongs
Yes we Athought that they were brothers then they C#mhalf-murdered each other, then they Ddid a
karaoke turn and Bmurdered our best song
ETold the governor's Emaj7wife about the last Enight of hisEmaj7 life, she turnG#med away in tears called
you a liar
Where are aAll your dreams now? TheC#m battalions, once so proud,
DLost in some old song and hanging Bon the old barbed-wire
[Chorus]
CWell life could be so Ehandsome
CIt's all going to be oEkay
CWe're going Enowhere
DBut nowhere, nowhere is on ouBr way
[Instrumental]
E - C - E - C - E - C - D - B
[Verse 3]
NowherEe in the institEmaj7utions, did they Eteach that revoEmaj7lution?
G#mSomething that could ever come to pass
All we tAried once before was the king's C#mhead on the floor
And we got Dbooted out the boozer cause someone smashed Bthe glass
[Chorus]
CLife could be so hEandsome
CLife could be Eokay
CWe're going Enowhere
DBut nowhere, nowhere is on ouBr way
CLife could be so hEandsome
CIt's all gonnaE be okay
CWe're going Enowhere
DBut nowhere, nowhere is on ouBr way
