My wife likes this song. She asked if I could play it for her on guitar, so I did...
I'm still in two minds about using F or Dm for some of the parts, so put both options in for you.
Play them both (obviously not at the same time) and see which suits your voice.
- Then there is the 'issue' of lyrics for the second line of the Bridge...
I wasn't sure whether she sings, "that heart you caught" or "and heard you calling" - but am sure you'll figure it out...
If you're playing along to the YouTube video above, the sound might be a bit distorted, so I'd suggest playing along with it from your cd or mp3
Set Fire To The Rain by Adele
CAPO on the 5th
Intro: Am C G F
Am C
I let it fall, my heart
G Dm/F
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
Am C
It was dark and I was over
G F
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Am C
My hands, they're strong
G Dm/F
but my knees were far too weak
Am C
To stand in your arms
G F
without falling to your feet
F Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
F Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
F G
And the games you play, you would always win, always win
Am
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Am C
When I lay with you
G Dm/F
I could stay there, close my eyes
Am C
feel you here forever
G F
You and me together, nothing is (gets) better
F Am
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
F Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
Am
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Am
I set fire to the rain
G
And I threw us into the flames
Well I felt something die
Am G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Am/F C
Sometimes I wake up by the door
G Dm/F
And heard you calling (that heart you caught), must be waiting for you
Am/F C
Even now when we're already over
G F
I can't help myself from looking for ya
Am
But I set fire to the rain
G
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Dm/F
Well, it burned while I cried
Am G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Am
I set fire to the rain
G
And I threw us into the flames
Well I felt something die
Am G
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Am G Dm Am G
Oh, oh,
Am G Dm Am G
Let it bu-uu-urn,Let it bu-u-u-u-u-urn
If you'd like to take some time to let me know how you got on playing this, I'd appreciate a comment.
