Hum Along
Lyrics and rhythm guitar / bass notes
[B]You’ll never [F#]hear this song
[G#]You’ll never see the [F#]movie in my head
But you in[B]fest my sleep [F#] and your [G#]figure creeps[F#]
Through my [E]walls and [F#]hums above my [G#]bed. [A#]
I [B]know you’re name [F#][G#] and that you’re photo[F#]genic and [B]tall
But I’ve [F#]never heard you [G#]talk [F#]
And there’s [B]something [F#] about you [G#] that stabs me [F#] right through.
[E][F#][G#]
CHORUS
[A#] It isn’t [E]right [G#]
For [F#]me to paint your picture
Every [E]night, [G#] but I [F#]do
(I can’t find [E]sleep) And it feels so wrong
(I [G#]breathe too [F#]deep) To sing this song
(In[C#]to the [E]sky) But maybe (as I) [G#](walk and sing)somehow
you’ll [F#]hear me (you’ll hear a song) and hum a[B]long
[F#]You’ll hum A[G#]long [F#]
You’ll hum A[E]long [F#][G#][A#]
And I’ve [B]only seen you [F#]once
At your [C#]graduation [F#]
No [B]cinematic [F#]glow or soft rock [C#]soundtrack [F#]
And I [B]watched you move [F#] and [G#]breathe [F#]
And [E]cry and it [F#]felt so wrong [G#]
REPEAT CHORUS
Maybe you’d be [F#]kidnapped by [G#]pirates
And they would [F#]take you to their [E]hideout
As [F#]pirates often [G#]do
But I’d [A#]find the secret [B]map
And I would [F#]vigilante-bush [G#] whack
Through the [F#]jungles of Peru[E]
Just to save[G#] you and I’d [F#]take you north to Mexico,
Where you would [E]tell me your life [G#]story on the [F#]steps of a Mayan temple,
Where we’d [E]camp singing [G#]nonsense songs in 12 [F#]bars to the jaguars, until you’d
me, your eyes con[G#]vincing, and I would [F#]kiss you like a hero in the [E]half-light,
Dryer [G#]sheets and peach sham[F#]poo, the smell of palm leaves, I’d [C#]sleep
you, until the [G#]natives found us, but [F#]they would crown us king and queen,
[E] And we could [G#]stay there, spend our days[F#]there, eating [C#]guava by the
and I could [G#]understand your views[F#] and you could fall in love with me.
SOLO [E G# F# C# E G# F#
G# F# C# E G# F#]
And while the [E]silly human race[G#] talks to droids[F#] in outer-space, [C#]we grow
and [G#]laugh about this song[F#]
And be[E]tween the jungle [G#]and the stars, [F#]you sing nonsense songs[C#] in 12 bars
[E]me and [G#]in my sleep[F#] I hum a[B]long.
You’ll never [F#]hear this song
[G#]You’ll never see the [F#]movie in my head...

BREAKDOWN
Play chorus, just strumming each chord once and letting it ring... and then play chorus normally
You'll never hear this song
You'll never see the movie in my head
But you infest my sleep, and your figure creeps
Through my walls and hums above my bed
I know your name, and that you're photogenic and tall
But I've never heard you talk
And there's something about you
That stabs me right through
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do (I can't find sleep)
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
And hum along
You'll hum along, you'll hum along, you'll hum along
And I've only seen you once, at your graduation
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
And I watched you move and breathe and cry
And it felt so wrong
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do (I can't find sleep)
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
And hum along
You'll hum along, you'll hum along, you'll hum along
Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates
And they would take you to their hideout
As pirates often do
But I'd find the secret map
And I would vigilante-bushwhack
Through the jungles of Peru
Just to save you and I'd take you north to Mexico
Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple
Where we'd camp singing nonsense songs in 12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd sense me
Your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo, the smell of palm leaves, I'd sleep against you
Until the natives found us, but they would crown us king and queen
And we could stay there, spend our days there, eating guava by the sea
And I could understand your views and you could fall in love with me
And while the silly human race talks to droids in outer-space
We grow old and laugh about this song
And between the jungle and the stars, you sing nonsense songs in 12 bars to me
And in my sleep I hum along
You'll never hear this song
You'll never see the movie in my head

version 3
Standard Tuning - Key of B major
Guitar 1 - clean
e---------------------------------|
b-4-4-5-5-7-7-5-5-----------------|
G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------|
D-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
A---------------------------------|
E---------------------------------|
palm mute throughout
Guitar one plays that riff Twice, then guitar two comes in with this for another 2 times
one continues playing above part):
Guitar 2 - clean...ish
e---------------------------------|
b---------------------------------|
G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------|
D-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
A-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
E-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
palm mute throughout
That's basically the verse, they both play those parts and then the part right before
"it isn't right" part is just guitar 1 playing this distorted while guitar two keeps up
lead part:
e---------------------------------|
b---------------------------------|
G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------|
D-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
A-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
E-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
Then, the chorus is both guitars distorted:
e-----------------------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------------|

E---------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
technically, guitar 1 continues doing the main lead part clean, but that's your choice.
it repeats that 2 times, but before the second prechorus guitar 2 cuts out and it's just
bass, lead and vocals.
the pirate story part is the verse again, but the distorted part changes and there's no prechorus
distorted - both guitars
