Drumming Song by Florence And The Machine
Drumming Song
Em (hit twice then mute)
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Em (as above)
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
C
Louder than sirens
Am
Louder than bells
C
Sweeter than heaven
Am
And hotter than hell
Em (as above)
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
Em (as above)
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear
C
Louder than sirens
Am
Louder than bells
C
Sweeter than heaven
Am
And hotter than hell
C
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Am
Sweeter than heaven, and hotter than hell
C
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Am Em
Sweeter than heaven, and hotter than hell
Chorus
Em C
As I move my feet towards your body
Am C
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
Em C
And gets louder and louder
Am C
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
Em (Hit once let ring)
I run to the river and dive straight in
Em (As above)
I pray that the water will drown out the din
C
But as the water fills my mouth
Am
It couldn't wash the echoes out
C
But as the water fills my mouth
Am
It couldn't wash the echoes out
C
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Am
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
C
As empty as that beating drum
Am Em
But the sound has just begun
Chorus as before
For the rest its C, Am, Em, G til...
C Am
As I move my feet towards your body
Em G
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
C Am
And gets louder and louder
Em Am
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
G (let ring)

(Florence usually starts the song and Rob joins after the first verse)
#No guitar
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
#No guitar
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
#Rob joins now, playing only the upper strings constantly
C
Louder than sirens
Am
Louder than bells
C
Sweeter than heaven
Am
And hotter than hell
# he kinda adds some little and easy "run" on the low e string here to # change to
the next chord (Em)

Em C
As I move my feet towards your body
Am C
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
Em C
And gets louder and louder
Am C
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
(watch the video again to figure out when he exactly changes the chords because I just
can't be bothered now )
# please watch the video, because it's really hard to write this particular # part down.
It's pretty similar to the
# one above. He first plays it alone one time (sometimes even twice). When # Florence
joins, it matches to the lyrics
beneath)

Em C
As I move my feet towards your body

I can hear this beat it fills my head up

And gets louder and louder
Am C
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
- sudden break -
# Throughout the next part Rob plays the same chord progression over and over again,
adding some minor variations.
# The chords he plays at the beginning are
#
# C D Em Bm
#
# later on, he starts to add variations, playing Em* instead of Em and Bm* # instead of Bm.
# Another variation I like to play is : C D Em' Bm*
# So there a lot of ways to play it, please - once again - watch the video # to figure
out and be creative when playing.

version 4
Note: - There are some slight variations on some of the chords that sound nearly if not
good as the ones below and you can use them to vary the song if you like.
i.e. Dsus2 can easily be Dmaj and Bm7 can change to Bm
- Also there's a B note on the G string (4th fret) that plays underneath a
lot of the song which you can add, particularly to the Cmaj7 and A5 using your pinky if
find it works for you.
- The Em in most of the song is usually 2 loud strikes then some ad lib
palm-muted picking of the 3 base strings
- The bracketed bits are just how I play it but feel free to ignore.
Em (2 loud strikes then palm mute 3 bass strings to the rhythm)
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it

Sweeter than heaven
