[NOTE: The official tab book for this album uses the chord Asus4 (x02230)
for this song, but to me, it sounds a whole lot like A7sus4 (x02030). Try
it out yourself and see what you think!!]
Intro: Asus4 G Asus4 G
Verse 1

Asus4
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
G
what is in his hands (what's in his hands)

He walks along the open road of love and life

surviving if he can (only if he can)
[low "E" string: play G-note, then
F# for the transition between verse & prechorus]
Pre-Chorus
----------
Em D C G
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Em D C G
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Em D C G
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Em D C
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
Chorus
------
G Asus4 C Em-D
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
Em D C
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

| Though it was written for Richard Ascroft after he left The Verve, Noel has said this about the line >... "That's about me." | |

| Liam&Noel say Cast No Shadow- "Richard (Ashcroft) wasn´t very happy for a while so I wrote it for him and about three weeks later he quit the band. It´s about songwriters in general who are desperately trying to say something. I´d like to be able to write really meaningful lyrics but I always end up talking about drugs or sex. But people like Richard and Paul Weller will look after me. `Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say´ - That´s me. I´m not Morrissey. I´m not Bob Dylan. I´m not Brett Anderson. They are better lyricists than I´ll ever be." | |
