At first, I had nightmares working out the chords for this beautiful song, but then I watched Noel perform it live, on his own, and even though I didn't watch his hands, the inspiration came. ------- Cast No Shadow
A7sus4 Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
what is in his hands (what's in his hands) He walks along the open road of love and life, surviving if he can
But with all the weight of all the words he tried to say chained to all the places that he never wished to stay But with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
A7sus4Em-D As they took his soul they stole his pride As they took his soul they stole his pride As they took his soul they stole his pride
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
what is in his hands (what's in his hands) He walks along the open road of love and life, surviving if he can (but only if he can)
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say chained to all the places that he never wished to stay Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride (x3) As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (x4) (ends on a C-G) ----- CHORDS
A7sus4 x02030 -----
Cast No Shadow, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis. Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" The chords I have listed differ from those listed in the official guitar book for the album (WTS)MG?, because, as is the case with many transcriptions in Oasis' "official" guitar books, I think the one in the book is not quite accurate.
