Love You 'Til the Day I Die  - Crowded House
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Crowded House".
Words and music by Neil Finn.
Transcribed by Marck Bailey (marck@nwu.edu).
Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed
on two chords.  However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks
and "side chords" in between to make things interesting (for example,
one of his faves is an Em form like this: x7978[10]).  I would
suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky
in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beautifully.
INTRO:
   B7   Em   B7   Em   B7   Em
VERSE 1:
B7
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
     Em
That never see the light of day
B7
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
        Em
Just to see the look that's on your face
B7
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
      Em
So forgive me if I tell a lie
B7
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
       Em
I will love you till the day I die
CHORUS 1: (NB. See below for guitar tab for this chorus)
  Em    G        F#m           A        Em  G  F#m  A
    I believe in doing things backwards
  Em     G           F#m               A      Em  G  F#m  A
    Take heed, start doing things in reverse
VERSE 2:
Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die

C                B          C              Em  G  F#m  A

CHORUS 3:
Em       G        F#m               A
Know the answer before you know the question

Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might

I am always with you
