# Subject: CHORDS: Freshmen by The Verve Pipe From their album "Villains" Transcription (for this REALLY excellent song) was done by George Quebbeman (gquebbeman@comshare.com) Freshmen - The Verve Pipe :verse1:
Ewhen I was young I knew Aeverything and C#mshe a punk who rarely Bever Atook advice now I'm Eguilt stricken sobbing with my Ahead on the floor C#mstop a baby's breath Band a Ashoe full of rice (no)
:chorus:
C#m B A I can't be held responsible C#m B 'cause Ashe was touching her face C#m B I Awon't be held responsible C#m B she fell in Alove in the first place
:bridge:
Efor the life of me, AI cannot remember C#mwhat made us think that Bwe were Awise and we didn't compro-Emise for the life of me,A I cannot believe we'd C#mever die for theBse Asins we were merely freshmen
:verse2: my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept and now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says... (repeat chorus) (repeat bridge) (<screaming>) :verse3: we've tried to wash our hands of all of this we never talk of our lacking relationships and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor we fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it... (repeat chorus) (repeat bridge) (repeat chorus and fade) ------------------------ There are some nice little hammer-off/on things going on with the A chord especially (Asus2, Asus4) that you can tinker with, but hopefully this will help get people started. Hint: In this phrasing...
Ewhen I was young I knew Aeverything I think it sounds real nice if you play a quick B chord over the word "knew", so it's like:
Ewhen I was young I Bknew Aeverything You may or may not choose do to so but I thought it added a little snap. I "smell" that B in there somewhere, especially if you play the B without the high "e" string fingered, but open. 'course I'm doing this on an acoustic and trying to eek out a little extra "magic".
