Rivermaya - Shes So Uncool Chords

Intro  G - A

Verse G - A

Now it serves my evil purpose just to see her
Though I know now what she says is untrue
And the things she makes me count
But, for the record, count me out
”honey harder baby!” that’s what she screamed

Now she makes me wait beneath the cloud of darkness
Like a lover in despair, I thank you
For the things you made me see
All through the madness
You taught me well, forget your wedding bells

F- E

Ah, she’s so uncool

Intro G - A

G - A

She’s the loneliness that hangs beneath your cradle
Though you know that what I say it ain’t true
Well the gift I gave today don’t really matter
It’s the clothes she wears,
And the way she swears

F - E

Ah, she’s so uncool
Ah, she’s so uncool
Ah, she’s so uncool

Chorus:
- Chords: The chorus simplifies to a single statement with F to E,
  adding a contrasting musical phrase that breaks from the verse pattern.

  perhaps slowing slightly to emphasize the "Ah, she's so uncool" line, 
  then pick back up with the return to the verse chords.

Bridge:
- Chord Progression: Typically, this song does not feature a distinct bridge, 
  but the change from G-A to F-E can be considered a brief middle eight that 
  serves to highlight the chorus.
- Tips: Use this section to slightly alter the dynamics or add a simple 
  melodic riff if you're comfortable, to enhance the transition back into 
  the verse or chorus.

General Tips:
- Tuning: Regular checks to ensure your guitar is tuned correctly will help
  keep the straightforward chords sounding bright and clear.
- Tone: A clean tone on an electric guitar or a bright acoustic guitar works 
  well for this song’s pop-rock style.
- Practice: Focus on clean transitions between the chords, especially the 
  quick change between F and E, which can be challenging for beginners.

Common Mistakes:
- Not keeping a consistent rhythm can disrupt the song’s energetic feel.
  Use a metronome or play along with the track to keep time.

  Keep the strumming controlled and balanced with the singing.
