Guitar Chords: Late Goodbye, Poets of the Fall
A slow beautiful song which was developed as a theme song for the PC Game: Max Payne 2. It uses basic chords with an edgy short and sweet intro riff… This song is based on a poem by Sam Lake. Heard it for the first time when I completed Max Payne game on my computer. It played in the background of the credits. Liked it then & there and decided to play it on my guitar!INTRO RIFF

CHORUS:
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye...
VERSE 2:
Em Am
your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
Em Am
you made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Bm Am Em
screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes keep on flashing, (flashing by...)
(CHORUS repeats...)
BRIDGE:
Em A Am G6
the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Bm A Am G6
points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
Bm A Am G6
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Bm A Am G6
till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye.
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye.
i want the video for better learning…….
Sorry dude, I really don’t have time to record a video and put it here… why not look for it on youtube? If you are lucky you might find one…
Practice playing random strings and master barre chords… it will surely help you with arpeggios!
