Keep Your Head Up by Ben Howard - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Ben Howard Song List
Version 1 Version 2
            Either strum or play in the same pattern as the intro throughout, obviously
without the strum at the end.
Also keep your 3rd and fourth finger on like this:

e|----3---|
B|----3---|
G|--------|
D|--------|
A|--------|
E|--------|

for everything except the chorus, but still keep it on the Em7 chord for the
chorus, hope that made sense :)

[Verse 1]
C                Em7
I spend my time, watching
     G                              C
The spaces that have grown between us.
                      Em7
And I cut my mind on second best,
       G                               C
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
                          Em7
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
           G                      C
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
                                 Em7
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
G          C            Em7
In which I swim, oh the darkness... in which I swim.

C                           Em7
Now walking back, down this mountain,
    G                       C
The strength of a turnin' tide.
                            Em7
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
         G                    C
Yeah the sun was so hot upon my side.
                       Em7
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
   G                          C
I searched for between the sheets,
                       Em7
Oh feelin' blind, to realize,
G                           C
All I was searchin' for... was me.
   Em7    G                  C
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.
D
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7                 D              C
Keep your mind set, keep your head whole Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7                D                              C
Keep your mind set in your ways... And keep your heart strong.

[Verse 2]
C                          Em7
I saw a friend of mine, the other day,
       G                               C
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
                                Em7
I said I'd been away, and he knew
      G                       C
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
                       Em7
And it felt so good to see his face,
        G                         C
Oh the comfort invested in my soul,
                              Em7
to feel the warmth, of his smile,
            G                  C
when he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.'
Em7          G                  C
Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home.
D
Ohh

[Chorus]
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7                 D              C
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7                D                               C
Keep your mind set in your ways... Keep your heart strong.

[Bridge]
G               D               C
And I'll always remember you the same.
G                D               C
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh within demons of change.
D
Ohhh may you find happiness here.
D
Ohhh may all your hopes all turn out right.

[Chorus]
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7                 D              C
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7                D               C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7                D                               C
Keep your mind set in your ways... Keep your heart strong.

[Outro]
G                  D               C
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
G                  D               C
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh within demons of change.
