Don't Look Back in Anger, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and was
released as a single.
NOTE: During many of the guitar fills in this song (mostly during the ones
in the pre-chorus) there are 2 guitars playing 2 different fills. For most
of the fills I've written down the one that is more prevalent in the song
(i.e. you hear it louder than the other fill) but for a couple of them, I
tried to combine the two fills. In verse 2, both are written out, with
guitar 1 being the one playing the chords, guitar 2 playing one fill, and
guitar 3 playing another fill.
Chords used:

| I like this line, "Take that look from off you face because you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out." And I like to think that the chorus might be talking about someone who left you, that it's too late to make it right so she walks away. But it tells you not to look back in anger at it, but in happiness, because it happened. "Her soul slides away," she walks out of your life and she's gone, her soul slid out of your life. But that's just what the song means to me. I'm sure it's not the original meaning that Oasis had in mind, or maybe it is. Who knows. GREAT song. One of my favorite songs of all-time. | |
