[Intro]
C
C F C F C

[Verse 1]
Rake at the moon
                  F
where the river flows
Cut from the cloth
                C
of the winter's cold
                               F
Bound by the voice that no one hears
                              C
I've been around in a way for years
Stray from the hear
                   F
the more that you know
                                C
All gussied up with no place to go
                           F
Table side the one of your dreams
                                C
Get what you want not what you need
F C

[Verse 2]
                           F
Parlor games and 6 o'clock news
                             C
Hands of a stranger touching you
                        F
Wide awake incased in a dream
                        C
Everything is not as it seems
                        F
All your time is heaven sent
Days and the nights
             C
all start to blend
It's not like this
                F
town to set you free
                               Em
The more you look the less you see

[Chorus]
The tables set the rose is out
                 F
You know what it is
                                Em
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
                       F
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel the way
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do

[Verse 3]
C
The ones they say have
          F
come here before
                         C
All gather 'round in the corridor
Try as I might
                   F
I can't place your name
                             C
I know the face that I can't explain
                  F
In my mind you're everything
                                 C
Lips don't move but voices still ring
                              F
The light inside has lost its glow
                              Em
The more you see the less you know

[Chorus]
The tables set the rose is out
                 F
You know what it is
                                Em
Miles away from places you have been
The call was made to pull the shades
                       F
The start of something new
Still nothing makes me feel
the way
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do

[Bridge]
Em
The seasons change
My mind erased
Dm
The stars all fade
But one remains the same
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do

[Outro]
Em
Must I your grace
Unveil the face
Dm
Only to say
Nothing takes the place
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do
C
You do, you do, you do, you do
F
You do, you do, you do, you do
C

How to play 100000 People: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for 100000 People by Kings of Leon on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

100000 People by Kings of Leon is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 4 chords in all: C, F, Em and Dm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – F – Em (IV – I – IV – iii in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
