Title: Promise
Artist: deliriou5
Source: King of Fools (Furious Records)
Transcribed by:Elliot Whiting (ellw@hotmail.com)
Best selling British single from deliriou5, reached No.20 in the
billboard charts.
Valvey distortion neccessary, reduce for verse or play softer so that
the signal breaks up less.
INTRO:
What ever happened? [sample]
G / Em7#9 / A x2
G / Em7#9 / A / C
VERSE:
G /Em(7#9) [Let ring]
Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face?
Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace?
C F Em(7#9)
Oh why...does it come to this?
[Strike chords once]
Em7(#9) A
Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains in your head?
Em A
Can a man play God, when He made his own bed?
C F Em
Oh why...does it come to this?
CHORUS:
G / Em7#9 A
Whatever happened to the love that you made?
G / Em7#9 A
Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed?
G / Em7#9 A C
Whatever happens to a promise these days?
VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards]
Em7 A
Did the Earth disappear, when you told of the truth,
Em7 A
Of the lands you would conquer, of the mountains you'd move?
C F Em
Oh why...does it come to this?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/delirious/promise_tab.html ]
[As before]
Did you covenant or live the dream in your head?
Would you die for her or rather raise the dead?
Oh when...will I learn from this?
