Squeeze - Hope Fell Down Chords & Tabs

From the Difford & Tilbrook album 


Arpeggios intro: You're on your own here!

VERSE:

D                       Em7
    You’re banging your drum

                      C          G
    You blow your own trumpet

D                  Em7
    Your ship came in

                     C          G
    And your fanfare sunk it

D                Em7                        F       G
    The tide has turned, our love’s gone forever,   ever

Em7                F#m7
    I stand on the shore

                          G        G/A
    As it floats down the river,   river


CHORUS:

D/F#       F6
I had such hopes

                   Bb           G G/A
I had such visions planned

    D/F#        F6
The frames were shot

                     Bb         G G/A
But now our future’s canned

A6                                         G9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

A6                                         G9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

VERSE:
D                Em7
I’m banging my head

C                    G
You watch without malice
(You watch with no interest at all)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/squeeze/hope_fell_down_crd.html ]
D                Em7
I bet all your friends

C                    G
Compare this to “Dallas”
(I might as well talk to a brick wall)

D               Em7            F       G
So under the arm I feel the cold shoulder

Em7                F#m7
So I’ll once again 

                G        G/A
have to play the wild rover

REPEAT CHORUS:

D/F#      G        C/A C/B  G/D G/E


D/F#      G        C/E C/A  G   G/A


D/F# F6            Bb         G G/A
Do I need all this pressure

D/F# F6      Bb        G G/A
Do I bury my temper

D/F#                                       F6
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down

A6                                         G9
    I had my hopes so high they fell right down
