Wild Horses
transcription by: Ken Friedson and Ed Finegold
Intro:
There are two guitar parts at the intro.
The rhythm is the same as the verse,
the lead is built off of the Bm pentatonic, the notes are:
(fret/string)
10/1,8/1,7/1,5/1
Listen to it, it'll take about two seconds to figure it out.
Verse 1:
Bm G Bm G
I heard living is easy to do
Am C D G D C
the pains you wanted, I bought them for you
note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick
down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord
Bm G Bm G
Graceless lady, you know I am
Am C D G D
You know I can't let you, slide through my hands
Chorus:
Am C D G F C D
Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away
Am C D G F C
Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away
(again those D chords are transitional)
Verse 2:
Bm G Bm G
I watched you suffer, a dull aching pain
Am C D G D C
Now you've decided, to show me the same
Bm G Bm G
Those sweeping exits, whoa off stage lines
Am C D G D
could make me be bitter, and treat you unkind
Chorus
Verse 3:
Bm G Bm G
I know I dreamed you, a sin and a lie
Am C D G D C
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Bm G Bm G
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Am C D G D
Let's do some living, after we die
Chorus
last line sung as:
Wild horses, I'm gonna ride them some day
Either fade it out or end with a: D(transitional) G
Note: A quick listen to the album will show you what I mean
about those transitional chords. Also, I did my best to
show where the changes fall, but as you play it you'll
get the nuances. Some of the changes just hang a bit longer
than others.
Glad I could give some back to the family.
peace,
Ed
