Live Forever, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis
Song can be found on the album "Live Forever" and was released as a CD
single.

Chords used:

EADGBe
G (3x0033)
D (xx0232)
Am7 (x02010)
C (x32010)
Em (022000)
Fmaj7 (x33210)

[NOTE: I've tried like crazy to determine if the "Am7" used in this song
is really an "Am", but since the two chords are so similar sounding, I
couldn't be sure. Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's an "Am7" during most of
the song, but an "Am" at the end when Liam's singing "Gonna live forever"
over and over.]


Verse 1

G D

Am7

C D

Verse 2
-------
G D

Am7

C

D Em

D

Am7

Fmaj7

End of the song alternates Am and Fmaj7 while Liam's singing
"Gonna live forever" again and again.

I'll be sure to post the tabs for the guitar solos when I have time.

Oasis
"Live Forever"
Transcribed by Mark ZurSchmiede (a.k.a. ZurSch)

Okay, I got all of the solo in there for you, I read in a magazine
that it was played as a pentatonic scale on the 12th, and figured it out
from there, but it sounds closer, and better when played as a
pentatonic on the 14th so I maybe they were wrong, or maybe you have to
change your tunings. You decide. Also the part of the solo where Ive
indicated with *========*, I just pick all the notes in that lick, but
I don't think you are supposed to. I let you figure that part out.
