F* C throwing it all away, F* C throwing it all away, F* C throwing it all away, Esus4 E at the end of the day. [REPEAT INTRO TAB] [THE REST OF THE SONG IS THE SAME] From Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu> Sad Song, written by Noel Gallagher, the bottomless fountain of amazing acoustic songs. Song can be found on the vinyl edition of "Definitely Maybe" and the Japanese "Definitely Maybe" CD, from what I've heard. Transcribed below is the version of "Sad Song" that Noel plays acoustic on the Oasis concert video "Live By The Sea." I've previously done a transcription of "Sad Song" that Noel played at some other show, but as he often plays this song a little differently, below is the version he plays in "Live By The Sea" at the Southside Cliffs Pavalion back in April of 1994, I believe.
