Rolling In The Deep by Adele - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Adele Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 7
            No Capo, Standard Tuning

All Power Chords 

I tried to explain the chords a little to help with getting the pattern down...
I'm thinking there will be some "newer" guitarists trying this one out given
the popularity of the song and driving acoustic riff. It's fun to play so enjoy!

Stay on the LOW E STRING. You basically Palm Mute the whole song. 
Play the Bm on the 7th fret of the E string e.g.

e|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|-------------|
D|-----9-------|
A|-----9-------|
E|-----7-------|


[Verse 1]

Bm             F#  
There's a fire starting in my heart
A                                  F#              (slide to A then move up to Bm)
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Bm            F#
Finally I can see you crystal clear
A                                   F#                (A then slide to Bm)
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
Bm                         F#
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
A                         F#                  (A then slide to Bm)
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
Bm            F#
There's a fire starting in my heart
A                                 F#                    (A then slide to G)
Reaching a fever pitch And it's bringing me out the dark


[Pre-Chorus]

G            A                    F#
The scars of your love remind me of us
F#                G   (Stay on G)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
G            A                            F#
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
F# (stay on F#)
I can't help feeling


[Chorus]

F#                   (Bm slide down to A)
We could have had it all
A                G                 
Rolling in the deep
G    A             Bm             A
You had my heart inside of your hand
A           G                 (A slide to Bm)
And you played it to the beat


[Verse 2]

Bm                F#
Baby, I have no story to be told
A
But I've heard one of you
A            F#                    (A then slide to Bm)
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Bm                   F#                            
Think of me in the depths of your despair
A
Making a home down there
A  F#                          (Slide up to A then down to G)
As mine sure won't be shared


[Pre-Chorus]

G             A                    F#
The scars of your love remind me of us
F#               G    (Stay On G)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
G             A                            F#
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
F#  (Stay On F#)
I can't help feeling


[Chorus]

F#                     (Bm slide down to A)
We could have had it all
A               G                 
Rolling in the deep
G    A              Bm             A
You had my heart inside of your hand
A         G (Stay on G)                  
And you played it to the beat
A                      (G slide up to A)
We could have had it all
A                (Bm slide down to A)               
Rolling in the deep
A            G   (Stay On G)                 
You had my heart inside of your hand
G      A (Stay On A)
But you played it with a beating


[Bridge]

(Technically no Chords here... Tap Your Guitar and Foot to the Beat :)

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for

(Start Playing Again)
Bm                                              
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
Bm (Until Pre-Chorus)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow


[Chorus]

Bm                     A
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
G                        G                 (Slide up to A then to Bm)

We could have had it all
Bm                     A 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
G                      
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
A              G                 
Rolling in the deep
G     A            Bm              A
You had my heart inside of your hand
A         G              
And you played it to the beat

G    A                 (Bm slide down to A)
You could have had it all
A                G
Rolling in the deep
G    A            Bm             A
You had my heart inside of your hand

G (Keep Strumming G)
But you played it
You played it
You played it
G             A       Bm
You played it to the beat.
