The opening "riff" is just the F# chord (2nd fret position) with loads of
reverb, another way to get that "wavy" feeling from just
playing the one chord is to position your hand to play the F# as I've shown
you above, except hammer on the first-finger barre on
the 2nd fret to begin the riff (^ = downstroke. v = upstroke):
|F# ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | do this twice; the second time the lead guitarist (on
tour, Johnny) plays:
E-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2 | (4/5\4) just before the rhythm guitarist (on tour,
Craig Gannon) plays the next chords
B-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2 |
G-3---3-3-3-3-3-4-3 |
D-4---4-4-4-4-2-2-2 |
A-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4 |
E-0(h)2-2-2-2-2-2-2 |
so the chord sequence for the intro and verse is:
FA# FA# FA# LA/SI/
How Soon Is Now ?
FA#
I am the son and the heir
LA SI FA#
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
LA SI
Of nothing in particular
RE LA
You shut your mouth, how can you say
DO#m MI FA#
I go about things the wrong way ?
RE LA
I am Human and I need to be loved
DO#m MI FA# FA# FA# LA/SI/
Just like everybody else does
FA#
I am the son and the heir
LA SI FA#
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
LA SI
Oh, of nothing in particular
RE LA
You shut your mouth
RE LA
You shut your mouth, how can you say
DO#m MI FA#
I go about things the wrong way ?
RE LA
I am Human and I need to be loved
DO#m MI FA# FA# FA# LA/SI/
Just like everybody else does
RE LA
There's a club if you'd like to go
DO#m MI FA#
You could meet somebody who really loves you
RE
So you go, and you stand on your own
LA
And you leave on your own
DO#m MI
And you go home, and you cry
FA# FA# FA# LA/SI/
And you want to die
RE LA
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
DO#m MI FA#
Well, when exactly do you mean?
RE LA
See I've already waited too long
DO#m MI FA#
And all my hope is gone
RE LA
You shut your mouth, how can you say
DO#m MI FA#
I go about things the wrong way ?
RE LA
I am Human and I need to be loved
DO#m MI FA# FA# FA# LA/SI/
Just like everybody else does
