Song: Don't Look Back in Anger Artist: Oasis Album: (What's the Story) Morning Glory
This is another one of my favorite tracks off this incredible album. I'm probably going to transcribe the entire thing, because I love it that much. I've adopted a somewhat new format of notation for this particular transcription, because the changes are so easily outlined. If you enjoy this transcription or use it, let me know. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to make any necessary additions without changing the original.
Chords used:
C X32010 320033 Am X02210 020100 113211 133111 G#/E7 420100
[Verse 1]
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
[Am, G] - Transition chords, played quickly
[Verse 2]
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
[Prechorus]
So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace G#/E7 Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever going to burn my heart ouuuuuuuuuut
[Chorus]
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say
[Mini solo over once through the verse progression]
Note: I think this solo is mostly in A-minor pentatonic.
[Verse 3, prechorus, chorus, are all same progressions as earlier]
Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows If it's night or day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock and Roll band Who'll throw it all away
Gonna start a revolution from my bed Cos you said the brains I have went to my head Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart ouuuuuuuuuut
Chorus again:
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late As she's walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
[Solo over prechorus chords]
Again, this solo is based mainly on pentatonic ideas. The length is once through the prechorus progression. Double the length if you want to solo a bit longer. Work those bends and kick some more emotion into an already emotional song!
[Drum fill]
Chorus again, but endings:
F (upstroke) But don't look back in anger
Dont look back in anger
I heard you say
Once more through the verse progression, then end on:
At least not today
