I found a small section of it on the a Verve Homepage. But as usual it was incomplete and a bit to sketchy. So here is the best Sonnet that I can do, and some credit to Bryan Elliot for help from his version. Chords C - 032010 Am - X02210 Am7 - X02010 Asus4 - X02200 F - 144311 G - 320033 Em - 022000 Intro: C(final strums with 3rd fret on high E) - Em - Am(for 3 strums then Am7 for 1 and then Am for 3 strums then Asus4 for 1)- F(ending with 3rd fret on high E). Verse 1 ------- C my friend and me, Em looking thru her Em Am F red box of memories C Faded, I'm sure, Em but love seems to Em Am F stick in her things you know Chorus ------ F G yes, there's love if you want it, Em F don't sound like a sonnet, my love F G yes, there's love if you want it, Em F don't sound like a sonnet, my love Em F my love. REPEAT INTRO Verse 2 ------- C why can't you see Em that nature has it's way Em Am F of warning me? C eyes open wide, Em looking at the heavens Em Am F with a tear in my eye Chorus ------ F G yes, there's love if you want it, Em F don't sound like a sonnet, my love, F G yes, there's love if you want it, Em F don't sound like a sonnet, my love Em F my love. REPEAT INTRO Middle 8 -------- G Sinking faster than a boat F without a hull F my love G dreaming about the day F when i can see you here F G by my side F G F by my side Verse 3 ------- F G Here we go again Em and my head it is gone F my love F G I stop to say hello Em because I think you should know Em F G F by now, by now (x7) ----- TABBED BY SIMON CARTER "SONNET" BY THE VERVE...........................EIGHT FUCKIN' YEARS , COMON! NOTE: All of the tabs that I've seen so far have missed that it is a Fmaj7 played at the end of the acoustic chord progression , and not a straight F. The top E string is held down, which gives that high note played at the end of the progression. FMAJ7: 003213 Verse: C Em Am (Taking on and off the B string) Fmaj7 Chorus: F G Em F F G Em F [Em F] Pre Verse: C Em Am Am Verse 2: C Em Am Fmaj7 Chorus 2: F G Em F F G Em F [Em F] Middle 8: G F Em F G F Em F G F G F Verse 3: F G Em F F G Em F Em F (To end) HERE'S SOME OF THE TAB. OPENING LEAD GUITAR PROGRESSION Apart from the two choppy guitar strikes in the first bar , this is done on a wah pedal with the end closest to the user held down , as to give that muffled sound. The pedal is not brought up until the actual song kicks in. The first couple of lead parts are those choppy guitar bits which is just done by hitting the strings and deadening them straight afterwards. You know the usual tab procedure. H = hammer on and off , G = gliss or slide , B = bend , and R = let note ring. CH = Choppy notes in intro) CH CH slide this up and back e------3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------8----10----8------------12-(R)--I b------5-------5---------h---------------------------------------------------7-----9-----7------------10-(R)--I g------5-------5------7---9-----------------------------------------------------------------------------11-(R)- I d---------------------------------------5---7-----------------------------------------------------------------------I a------------------------------------------------5---7-----3 (R)--------------------------------------------------I e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I THE REST IS PRETTY PISS EASY TO WORK OUT , IT'S JUST ALL PLAYED IN THE ONE SPOT BUT NICK MOVES IT ALL AROUND A LOT.
