He Said He Loved Me
guitar tabs lyrics
So this is the way I play this song from what i have figured out.
For the intro part the "He said he loved" me part I play a shortened version of the Bm
chord which is like this:
e|--2---| e|--2---|
B|--3---| B|--3---|
G|--4---| or G|------|
D|------| D|------|
A|------| A|------|
E|------| E|------|
The rhythm of this goes something like this:
e|--x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2222---|
B|--x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-3333---|
G|--x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-4444---|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
or
e|--x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2222---|
B|--x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-3333---|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Then the melody after that is this:
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--11-11-11------9---| x4
D|-----------9-12-----|
A|--------------------|
Verse has no guitar then repeats the melody above 4 times again
The "mams and prams" part i am a bit unsure of and i dont think its guitar but i think
to play it on guitar it would be something like this:
e|--7--9---10---|
B|--9--10--12---|
G|--9--11--12---|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
Then back to the "he said he loved me" part:
e|--x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2222---|
B|--x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-3333---|
G|--x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-x-4-4-x-4444---|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
or
e|--x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-2222---|
B|--x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-3333---|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
But the last time through the cycle of the you need to stop as the part shows below:
e|--x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2-x-x-2-2--|
B|--x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3-x-x-3-3--|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
Then repeat the melody as shown before:
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--11-11-11------9---| x4
D|-----------9-12-----|
A|--------------------|
Then it goes into the other melody which might be on synth or keyboard but here it is:
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----10--------10--------10-------------------------|
G|--------11-9------11-9------11-9----11-9------------| x2
D|--9-9---------9---------9---------9------12-11-9----|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
At the same time this is played:
e|-222222222222222222222222-5555-7777----|
B|-333333333333333333333333-7777-9999----|
G|-444444444444444444444444-7777-9999----| x2
D|-444444444444444444444444-7777-9999----|
A|-222222222222222222222222-5555-7777----|
E|---------------------------------------|
Then back to verse with no guitar
Then the "mams and prams" part:
e|--7--9---10---|
B|--9--10--12---|
G|--9--11--12---|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
Then its the last time the first melody is played:
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--11-11-11------9---| I think this is played 17 times
D|-----------9-12-----|
A|--------------------|
But this time through the melody these chords are played as before:
e|-222222222222222222222222-5555-7777----|
B|-333333333333333333333333-7777-9999----|
G|-444444444444444444444444-7777-9999----| x4
D|-444444444444444444444444-7777-9999----|
A|-222222222222222222222222-5555-7777----|
E|---------------------------------------|
Then into the synth melody for the ending:
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----10--------10--------10-------------------------|
G|--------11-9------11-9------11-9----11-9------------|
D|--9-9---------9---------9---------9------12-11-9----|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
But this time it has a different chord pattern which is this:
e|-222222222222222222222222-5555-4444----| e|--2--|
B|-333333333333333333333333-7777-5555----| B|--3--|
G|-444444444444444444444444-7777-6666----| End on Bm G|--4--|
D|-444444444444444444444444-7777-6666----| D|--4--|
A|-222222222222222222222222-5555-4444----| A|--2--|
E|---------------------------------------| E|-----|
