By Any Means by Jorja Smith
By Any Means
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G#m
Capo:no capo
Use a capo in fret 4 to play easier chords: ... Em7 G/D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 (D6)
.
For that simplified version in capo 4 skip the C#7b5 chord or play A/C# instead.
Another nice option:
Use tuning Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb to play easier chords: ... Am7 Cmaj7/G Fmaj7 Fmaj7
(G6)
One guitar holds that F# note, so you could play Emaj9 instead of Emaj7 to insert
that note into all chords.
Coming from Emaj7 = x79897, this is how I'd play that transitional F#6 chord:
x9887x
Feel free to integrate that chord into the full progression (not just within the
Post-Chorus):
G#m7 / Bmaj7/F# / Emaj7 / Emaj7 F#6
[Intro]
G#m D#m E E
G#m7
Oh-oh
F# Fm7b5 E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
G#m7
So go ahead and fix your crown
F# Fm7b5 E
Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh, oh
G#m7
Go ahead and stand your ground
F# Fm7b5 E
We're on the long road to freedom, oh, no
[Verse 1]
G#m7
Too much time tryna figure out why
Bmaj7/F#
Too much time to be patient
Emaj7
All this time you be feeding us lies
Emaj7
Ain't no truth in your statements
G#m7
Too much pain in these little white lies
Bmaj7/F#
You left here
Emaj7
All this time tryna figure out how
Emaj7
We still here
G#m7
I take pride in the things that we've done
Bmaj7/F#
Side by side in the revolution
Emaj7
Won't stay silent for things that I love
Emaj7
'Cause we know dem nuh care about us
G#m7
White men can't jump but at least they can run
Bmaj7/F#
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
Emaj7
They can never see the kingdom coming
Emaj7
You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F# Emaj7
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
Emaj7 G#m7
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
Bmaj7/F# Emaj7
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Emaj7
Both feet on the line
[Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you), oh, no
Emaj7 Emaj7
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
Emaj7 Emaj7
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
[Post-Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
I've spent too many days in my head now
Emaj7
Did you think we would forget, how?
Emaj7
Too many destinies, too many sentences
F#6 G#m7
Read now, read now
Bmaj7/F#
See all this pain in the headlines
Emaj7
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens, see
Emaj7 F#6 G#m7
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
[Verse 2]
Bmaj7/F#
And what if we changed the world?
Emaj7
We rise from the flames the victor
Emaj7
It's far from a perfect picture
G#m7
I know we're sinful but we are human
Bmaj7/F#
Would you be grateful if you took my place?
Emaj7
Say my name (say my name)
Emaj7
There is redemption in the steps we take
G#m7
Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (oh)
Bmaj7/F#
Innocent 'til I am proven (oh, no)
Emaj7
One last chance and you blew it (oh)
Emaj7
One last dance in the ruins (oh)
G#m7
So much hate in your movements (oh, no)
Bmaj7/F#
Told me I couldn't prove it (no)
Emaj7
One last prayer for the sinners (ooh)
Emaj7
You only learn what you witness (ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F# Emaj7
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
Emaj7 G#m7
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
Bmaj7/F# Emaj7
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Emaj7
Both feet on the line
[Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you), oh, no
Emaj7 Emaj7
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
Emaj7 Emaj7
By any means, I will fight (for you, for you)
[Post-Chorus]
G#m7 Bmaj7/F#
I've spent too many days in my head now
Emaj7
Did you think we would forget, how?
Emaj7
Too many destinies, too many sentences
F#6 G#m7
Read now, read now
Bmaj7/F#
See all this pain in the headlines
Emaj7
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens, see
Emaj7 F#6
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
