This is track 2 on The Verve's Urban Hymns. 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.

[Verse 1]
 
C
My friend and me
Em                             Am       F
Looking through her red box of memories
C
Faded I'm sure
    Em                         Am             F
but love seems to stick in her veins you know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       G
Yes, there's love if you want it
                     Em        F
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
F                        G
Yes, there's love if you want it
                     Em        F
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Em F
My lord.
 
REPEAT INTRO
 
[Verse 2]
 
C
Why can't you see
     Em                    Am          F
that nature has its way of warning me
C
Eyes open wide
 Em                           Am              F
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       G
Yes, there's love if you want it
                     Em        F
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
F                        G
Yes, there's love if you want it
                     Em        F
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Em F
My lord.
 
REPEAT INTRO
 
[Middle 8]
 
G                                    F
Sinking fast within a boat without a hull
G  F
My lord
G                                         F
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
G     F
My side
 
[Solo]
 
| G | G | F | F |
| G | G | F | F |
 
By my side
 
[Verse 3]
 
F            G
Here we go again 
               Em        F
and my head is gone, my lord
F                 G
I stop to say hel-lo
                          Em          F
'Cause I think you should know by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now

so complicated to read. do you know what ... at the end of the line tells me? that you couldnt be bothered tabbing all of it so u only did half. you missed 1 or 2 words from each line. was it really that hard to do them?
