INTRO/VERSE - D    Em  G    Bm    A  G

VERSE
D                             Em     G   
They're trying hard to put me in my place
Bm               A            G
And that is why I gotta keep running
D                          Em     G
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Bm                  A              G
Cos in the end the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like it so why don't you admit it

BRIDGE
A                         Em
D'you feel a little down today?
          G                D
Bet you ain't got much to say?
               A                  Em
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
                 G-G* G-G* G-G*....(listen to song and you'll
understand)
And you know I don't care, you know I don't care

CHORUS
D      A                   G-G* ....  
As we beg and steal and borrow
                  D        A 
Life is hit and miss and this
    Em              G
I hope, I think, I know
                         D         A
And if I ever hear the names you call
  Em       G                   F#m
If I stumble catch me when I fall
                A                               
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name

Subject: I hope I think I know Tab

Hi there! I'm Esteban (but you can call me Steffan) and I'm from Uruguay 
(I wonder if you have any idea where's Uruguay). Anyway, I'm a great 
Oasis fan and I have just recently bought the new album 'Be here now'. 
As far as I see, you donīt have the tab of this song, so I made one for 
you. I hope it could help you.
