Artist: Damien Rice
Song: Volcano
The only reason that there is the G is to connect the Am and the F so hit 'em quick.
[Intro]
Am Am Am Am G
F F F F G
[Verse]
Am Am Am Am G
Don't hold yourself like that
F F F F G
You'll hurt your knees
Am Am Am Am G
I kissed your mouth and back
F F F F
That's all I need
G G F F
Don't build your world around
G G F F N.C.
Volcanoes melt you down
[Chorus]
Am Am F F
What I am to you, is not real
Am Am F F
What I am to you, you do not need
Am Am F F
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
Am Am F F
You give me miles and miles of mountains, and I ask for the sea
[Verse]
Am Am Am Am G
Don't throw yourself like that
F F F F G
In front of me
Am Am Am Am G
I kissed your mouth your back
F F F F
Is that all you need?
G G F F
Don't drag my love around
G G F F N.C.
Volcanoes melt me down
[Chorus]
Am Am F F
What I am to you, is not real
Am Am F F
What I am to you, you do not need
Am Am F F
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
Am Am F F
You give me miles and miles of mountains, and I ask for the sea
[Bridge]
C
for what I give to you
E7
Is just what i'm going through
Am
This is nothing new
F
No no just another phase of finding
C
what I really need
E7
Is what makes me bleed
Am
And like a new disease
F
Lord, she's still too young to treat
Follow with some still too youngs and stuff, if you know the song you know what I mean.

Pretty sure thats a G not an E. E doesn't sound right at all, the root steps down, not up on the transition. At least to my ears it does. Just listen to the bass, it follows the root progression.

I think he meant the G in the bridge, which is actually an E. You can hear the G# in the chord, so it can't be a G there.

@ louiemac - If you listen to "Volcano (97 Demo)" in "B-Sides" album you can easily figure out the strumming.
