This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Title: Promise

Artist: deliriou5

Source: King of Fools (Furious Records)

Transcribed by:Elliot Whiting (ellw@hotmail.com)

Best selling British single from deliriou5, reached No.20 in the

billboard charts.

Valvey distortion neccessary, reduce for verse or play softer so that

the signal breaks up less.

INTRO:

What ever happened? [sample]

G / Em7#9 / A x2

G / Em7#9 / A / C

VERSE:

G /Em(7#9) [Let ring]

Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face?

Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace?

C F Em(7#9)

Oh why...does it come to this?

Strike chords once

Em7(#9) A

Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains in your head?

Em A

Can a man play God, when He made his own bed?

C F Em

Oh why...does it come to this?

CHORUS:

G / Em7#9 A

Whatever happened to the love that you made?

G / Em7#9 A

Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed?

G / Em7#9 A C

Whatever happens to a promise these days?

VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards]

Em7 A

Did the Earth disappear, when you told of the truth,

Em7 A

Of the lands you would conquer, of the mountains you'd move?

C F Em

Oh why...does it come to this?

As before

Did you covenant or live the dream in your head?

Would you die for her or rather raise the dead?

Oh when...will I learn from this?
