Please, please, please can someone tell me where I can find the chords to Headstart for Happiness.

It's driving me nuts. I've beaten seven shades out of google.com, google.co.uk, and altavista.com
and I still can't find them.

Thanks

Steve, Surrey

The following is pretty close, if not entirely accurate:

Verses (When I find you waiting ... ) are:

Dmaj7, Em

Choruses (We've got a ... ) are:

Emaj7, A x3 THEN C#m, G#, A

The bridge (All the roads ... ) IS:

F#, Bm, F#, Bm, D, D#m, E, G(7?), F#(7?), Bm, G, Dmaj7

Ending (Naive and wise ... ) is:

G(7?), F#(7?), Bm, G, G(7?), F#(7?), Bm, G, G(7?), F#(7?), Bm, G, Dmaj7

Thanks for that.

I'm unsure about the Emaj7's though. I was listening to it last night and there's most definitely a
G# in the bass of the chord so I suspect it might be an E/G#.

I'll give the rest of it a try. Meanwhile do you know if there's a site on the Internet where I can
find this info?

Many thanks

Steve

As far as I know, it's not on any of the current Weller tab pages, and
hasn't been since the great Christian Korbanka's site was closed down.

Dmaj7 Em
When I find you waiting hours; oh,
Dmaj7 Em
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
Emaj7 A/E
We've got a headstart for happiness
Emaj7 A/E
For our part, guess we must be blessed
Emaj7 A/E
For this feeling to be so strong
C#m G# A
Tell me is that so wrong?

[Intro]

Dmaj7 Em
The space betweeen us for days has been so far;
Dmaj7 Em
I've spent a lonely week, now I wanna be where you are
Emaj7 A/E
We've got a headstart for happiness
Emaj7 A/E
For our part, guess we must be kissed
Emaj7 A/E
By this force I feel inside
C#m G# A
Now I'm not gonna hide.

[Intro]

F#
All the roads that lead to struggles
Bm
Bring you back to where you need
F#
Some reassurance in your own depth
Bm D D# Em
Only you can see, but let others feel
G7 F#7 Bm
Peace in my mind I'm so happy to find
G Dmaj7
As I get on my trek with a headstart back to you.

Dmaj7
You'll find it can happen
Em
You'll find you've got the strength
Dmaj7
You can move a mountain
Em
You just need the confidence

Emaj7 A/E
In yourself and all you've got
Emaj7 A/E
To take this world and shake it up
Emaj7 A/E
Let no one say they're better than you
C#m G# A
You must believe you've got the power

[Intro]

Dmaj7 Em
When I find you waiting hours, oh
Dmaj7 Em
It's my heart, not my head that takes control
Emaj7 A/E
And you've got to lead where your heart says go
Emaj7 A/E
And this hope that it turns out so
Emaj7 A/E
And that's all that you can hope for
C#m Bm Cm C#m
Can you expect much more?

G7 F#7 Bm
Naive and wise with no sense of time
G
As I set my clock with a heart beat, tick tock
G7 F#7 Bm
Violent and mild - common sense says I'm wild
G
With this mixed up fury, crazy beauty
G7 F#7 Bm
It's healthy to find all these feelings inside
G Dmaj7
As I get on my trek with a headstart back to truth.
