More songs by Crowded House


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

INTRO: Csus2  C7sus2   C7sus4

C                         Am
   There is freedom within, there is freedom without
F                                    E  Esus4
   Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup
C                         Am
   There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
F
   But you'll never see the end of the road
                  E               Esus4
     while you're traveling with me

       CHORUS
     F           G             C          Am
       Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
     F           G                C           Am
       Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
     F             G       C                   Am
       They come, they come to build a wall between us
     F                        G
       We know they won't win

  C                     Am
   Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
F                                              E          Esus4
   My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
C                    Am
   In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
F                                    E   Esus4
   But you turn right over to the TV page

       REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE SOLO: C  Am  F  E  ×2

SOLO 2: F  C  F  C  F  C  Bb

C                       Am
   Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
F                                                 E   Esus4
   And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
C                    Am
   Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof
F                                        E         Esus4
   Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

       CHORUS VARIATION
     Dm          Em            C          Am
       Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
     F           G                C           Am
       Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
     F             G       C                   Am
       They come, they come to build a wall between us
     F
       We know they won't win

OUTRO: F  G  C  Am
