This is one in a list of Tears For Fears chords that was sent to me by out. I figured I'll go ahead and post/archive them if anyone's interested. I made a tiny suggestion and came up with a mock solo on this one.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Intro: 4 times |A/D G/D- -| |
(Keith suggests tuning the E bass string down to a 'D' to get the bass rhythm to the song)
(I like to use (xx022x) for A/D and (xx000x) for G/D)
Welcome to your life, there's no turning back,
Even while we sleep, we will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature,
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design, it's my own remorse, Help me to decide, help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure, Nothing ever lasts forever,
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it G|DA|G | Everybody wants to rule the world
Pseudotab Solo:
e-----10-9-7---------------| | | B--10--------10-7-8-10-----| (repeat 3x) then end with | | G----------------------7---| | | D--------------------------| | D--9-7-- |
I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it. One headline, why believe it? Everybody wants to rule the world.
All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever, Everybody wants to rule the world
Outro: |A/D G/D | | repeat and fade

I was just cruising by this section and I saw this song by Tears which I've been playing on guitar for a few years. I checked out the chords and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that they're a little different than previously posted (at least the key is right!)
Wherever it is written E minor, the band actually plays Emin9 (a much richer sounding chord). Also, the G in those verses are actually Gmaj7. Finally, the A which follows the G (actually Gmaj7) is really an A6, which is not surprising since the opening riff of the song is a sixth arpeggio over the A. No need to tune down either, since the bass string is played open on the Eminor9
