 Subject: TAB: Listen Up   by Oasis
 >From Fred Lidskog 
 Listen Up, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis
 Song can be found on the UK "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single, and is 
 probably one of my top 5 favorite Oasis songs.
 Parts of this transcription were taken straight from the official tab 
 book for Oasis B-Sides. A special thanks to Mr. Paul Das  
 for providing these chords, without which I may never have known the 
 correct chords for the pre-chorus and chorus!!

 	 EADGBe
 F#m	(244222)
 A	(x02220)
 E	(022100)
 D	(xx0232)
 Faug	(1x3221) [NOTE: it's easier to play this as (xx3221)]
 A/E	(002220)
 B7	(x24242)
 Bm7	(x24232)

        F#m            A            E             D        A
 Listen up, what's the time, said today I'm gonna speak my mind
         F#m       A          E             D      A          
 Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime
        F#m           A        E                D        A
 Day by day there's a man in a suit, he's gonna make you pay
         F#m	   	  A		E	   D             A
 For the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say
 
 Pre-chorus
 ----------
 F#m           Faug       A/E             B7
      One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
 Bm7		       D            E
      It wouldn't be so bad if I had time
 
 Chorus
 ------
 D		 A/C#    E
 Sail me down the river alone
           D                 A/C#     F#m
 I've been tryin' to find my way back home
       D                A/C#
 But I don't believe in magic
 D           A/C#
 Life is automatic
     B7            D                A   (pick "A" like guitar 2 in verse)
 But I don't don't mind being on my own
    B7      D                A            A
 No I don't mind being on my own
