TABBED BY: NintEndO
This is the tab of Amy's 2007 debut album. I've tabbed the acoustic guitar parts
played by Amy and I've included in each song the basic strumming pattern. I would
recommend that you listen to the song before trying the pattern. Also I've left a
Chord Summary below for those who don't want to have to scroll through the whole
tab. Enjoy playing as its a great album to strum along to

(D G Bm G)
D
So called Mr Rock And Roll is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again to someone who tells him
G D*
That his balance is low, he's got no where to go, he's on his own again
D
Rock chick of the century is acting like she used to be
Dancing like there's no one there before she never seemed to care
G D*
Now she wouldn't dare, it's so rock and roll to be alone
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I was something more
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I knew you
A D*
I wish I knew you before
D
Mrs Black and White she's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind every single day
G D*
But now she's lost her way and where does she go from here
D
Mr Multicultural sees all that one can see
He's living proof of someone very different to me
G D*
But now he wants to be free free so he can see
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I was something more
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I knew you
A D*
I wish I knew you before
Em A G D
He'll say, I wish I knew you, I wish I met you when time was still on my side
Em A G A A7
She'll say, I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you before I was his bride
D
And so they must depart too many more are broken hearts
But I've seen that all before in TV, books and film and more
G D*
And there's a happy ending every single day
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I was something more
A Em
And they'll meet one day far away and say, I wish I knew you
A D* D
I wish I knew you before

Note: Amy normally plays the 4 chords this way without a capo
C#m: x46654
A: x02220
E: 022100
Abm: 466444
but using a capo is so much easier
A good arrangement with two guitars would be with one playing the non-capo version
and the other playing the capo version and the riff whenever it comes up

Am F C Em
Am F
Oh the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight
C Em
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
Am
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
F
While the shocked too many just sit way over there
C Em
And the songs they get louder each one better than before
Am
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
F
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
C Em
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Am
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
F
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
C Em
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
Am F C Em
(post-chorus riff)
(repeat pattern throughout)
