No One Is to Blame — Howard Jones
Chords and lyrics for No One Is to Blame by Howard Jones (key of A).
Verse 1
I want to give credit to Marc Virata who is responsible for another version
on here. I made a few
changes to his version and ran the chords out to make it easier to scroll
and play. I am sure this is
still not perfect, but it works out really well for me when playing along
with the track. Please feel
free to leave any suggested changes in the comments. Thanks!
Intro
Both the "A" and the "E" should be picked starting with the bass note on
down,
then add the "sus4" with your pinky when you reach it. Listen to the
keyboard part on the
track, and you'll get it.
[A] [Asus4] [A] [D] [E] [Esus4] [E] [A]
[A] [Asus4] [A] [D] [E] [Esus4] [E]
This is the main riff in the song. Played with a down strum on each of the
notes. When you hit
the "E" arpeggiate a few of the notes before going back into the "A" again.
[A] [F#m] [E] [A] [F#m] [E]
