Sad Song by Noel Gallagher

This is the bonus track on the vinyl version of Definitley Maybe, but I've
never actually heard that version. I heard it played on Oasis' appearance
on Channel 4's 'The White Room' and on the 'Live by the Sea' video.
	The version I have 'tabbed' is the version played on 'The White Room',
Noel Gallagher seems to play about with it quite alot, but this is the
meat(?) of the song.

Note:

	In the intro the strums in-between the single note picking is not
really as precise as it is tabbed and isn't played very loudly.

*************************************************************************

       Am            C
Sing a sad song in a lonely place,
    Dsus2                    E   G
And try to put a word in for me,
          Am              C
It's been so long since I found a space,
      Dsus2                E       G
You'd better put in two or three,
      Am              C
We as people are just walking round,
    Dsus2                         E        G
Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground,
        Am                 C
What we don't see, well it can't be real,
     Dsus2                    E      G
What we don't touch we cannot feel.

Pre Chorus
**************************************************************************
C                  G
Where we're livin' in this town,
    Am                        C
The sun is coming up and it's going down,
         C            G                      D   Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
But it's all just the same at the end of the day,
       Am           G
And we cheat and we lie,
Am                           G
Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why,
          Am           G                      D   Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
'Cos it's all just the same at the end of the day.

           Am               C
If you're needing something I can give,

I'll try and help you if I can,
          Am             C
If you're honest and you say you did,

You know that I would give you my hand,
      Am              C
Or a sad song in a lonely place,
