ADELE “Rolling in the Deep”
*mostly power chords - thumping on the EAD strings
VERSE CHORDS:
Bm F#
There's a fire starting in my heart,
A F#
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me
A
out the dark,
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and a I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do,
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark,
LEAD TO CHORUS
G A F#
The scars of your love remind me of us,
G
They keep me thinking that we almost had
F# - G A
it all, The scars of your love, they leave me
F#
breathless, I can't help feeling,

CHORUS
Bm A
We could have had it alllllllll,
G
Rolling in the deep,
A - Bm A
You had my heart inside your hand,
G A Bm
And you played it to the beat.
Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn, Think of me in the depths
of your despair, Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,
The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all, The scars of your love, they leave me
breathless, I can't help feeling,
{Chorus}
Could have had it all, Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside your hand, But you played it with a beating,
Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for, Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown,
{Chorus} (x2)
Could have had it all, Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside your hand, But you played it, You played it, You played it, You
played it to the beat.
I watched Adele do a live acoustic version on this on NPR's "tiny desk" concerts, and
this is how her guitarist plays it there. enjoy.
