After all these years you would have thought by now someone uploaded the 100% CORRECT chords that
THE KOOKS actually play.....anyway since the new album is coming out later this year I got inspired
to upload the correct version of one of their best singles.
For strumming pattern listen to the song and try to get a sense of the slightly off beat rhythmic
muting strumming style they got going on.
Verse:
G#m E [ch]F#/D[/ch]
I'm not saying its your fault, although you could have done more
B B2
Oh you're so naive yet so
G#m E [ch]F#/D[/ch]
How could this been done, by such a smiling sweetheart
B B2
Ohh and your sweet and pretty face
G#m E [ch]F#/D[/ch]
In such an ugly world, something so beautiful.
B B2
Ohh that every time I look inside
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_kooks/naive_crd_ver_10.html ]
E B D#7
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
E B D#7
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me
E G#m D#7
I know, she knows that i'm not fond of asking
E B D#7
True or false, it may be... She's still out to get me!
