Pure and Easy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
There [C]once was a [G]note,
[F]pure and [G]easy
[C]Playing so free [G]like [F]a breath
[G]rippling [C]by[G][C][G]
[F]The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend it,
forever we die
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C][G]
I [C]listened and I [Dm]heard [F]music in a [G]word
And [C]words when you [Dm]played
your gui[F]tar[G]
[Dm]The noise that I was [Em]hearing was
a mil[G]lion people cheer[Am]ing
And a [G]child flew past me [C]riding in a star
[G]

[Verse 3]
As [D]people assemble
Civilization is [G]trying to
find a new way to die
But [Am]killing is really [E]merely scene changer
[Am]All men are bored with other men's lies

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I [C]listened and I [Dm]heard [F]music in a [G]word
And [C]words when you [Dm]played your [G]guitar
The [Dm]noise that I was [Em]hearing was
a mil[G]lion people cheer[Am]ing
And [G]a child flew past me [C]riding in a star
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
[G]Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Dis[Am]tortion becomes somehow
[E]pure in it's wildness
The [Am]note that began all can

[Interlude 1]
also destroy
[Am][Dm][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
We [Am]all know success,
when we [F]all [Am]find our own dreams
And our love is enough to
knock [F]down any [Am]wall [G]s
[Am]And the future's been seen as [F]men
[Am]try to r[G]eali[Am]ze
The simple secret of [F]the note [Dm]in u[Asus4]s all,[G][A][Am]
[F]in [G]us all[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][Am][F][Am][G]

[Verse 7]
I [C]listened and I [Dm]heard [F]music in a [G]word
And [C]words when you
[Dm]played your gui[F]tar[G]
The [Dm]noise that I was [Em]hearing was
a mil[G]lion people cheer[Am]ing
And a [G]child flew past me [C]riding in

[Interlude 3]
a star

[Verse 8]
There [A]once was a note, [D]listen
[G]There once was[A] a not[G]e, lis[D]ten
[G]There onc[A]e was[Am] a n[G]ote, lis[D]ten
There [A]once was a [G]note, [D]listen
There [A]once was a note, [D]listen
There [A]once was a [D]note, listen
There [A]once [Am]was a[A] note, l[D]isten
There [A]once [Am]was a n[A]ote, l[D]isten
There [A]once was a [G]note, [A]lis[D]ten
There [A]once was a note, [D]listen
There [A]once was a [D]note, listen
There [A]once was a [D]note, listen
There [A]once [D]was [A]a note, listen
