Artist: The Verve
Track: Come on
Album: Urban Hymns
transcribed by Steve Robbins
I dig this song so much, not least the bit at the end with Liam Gallagher
shouting 'fuck you', its a shame there wasn't more Verve and Oasis cross
overs. Anyway i couldnt find the chords to this anywhere in the universe
so i set about doing it myself and was surprised at how easy it was.
I'm not much of a tab lover so there is limited tab here (its mostly chords)
but i put in what i could.
Any comments/suggestions then please email stoniesteve@hotmail.com

| One comment for this song? Unbelievable... It seems to have the religious thing, and then the complete opening up with the chorus. And of course, the end... amusing. | |

| ...But really, I wonder what's up with the end of the song? The very passionate F.U.'s. | |

| there's something about the juxtaposition of the religious in the beginning with talk of pills, and the ending part which is more "hardcore" if you can call it that...it seems to work really neatly, and richard ashcroft injects a certain seething anguish that i find awesome | |

| To me it's Mad Richard speaking out about fame and all of the turmoil the band went through in order to make it big. In an issue of Rolling Stone, Richard is on the cover and inside, the article quotes him as saying "It's about fu**in time." | |
