TRUTH

(Neil Finn/Jim Moginie)

NOTES: This is probably not as accurate to what Neil does as some 
other transcriptions, but i think it's a fun solution to creating 
a different feel on the acoustic between the first verse and the 
rest of the song (the way the recording does). You'll start with 
the capo on III, and remove it after the first verse. Since there 
is a pause in the music right at that moment, removing the capo is 
a fairly easy trick, and you should be ready to keep playing by 
you hit the downbeat of the next verse.

circle overhead the view from the bed

            D
so high and lonely

                D               Gm
sixteen times a day he comes to ground

to get some attention

They have showered me with riches

                       Bm                             C
and they say that I am worthy of their love and their attention

                              D
but they still don't know the truth


VERSE:

And everything you do continues long after you've gone
what I said
truth is worth more than pride
truth cannot be denied
truth is worth more than pride

so high and lonely
