[Verse 1]
E
I'll be your dancing
       A      E
 horse if you let me
E
I'll be the last man
           A
 standing, I'll be
       B     E   A
 your clown
E
I'll give you what's
left of my dreams
               A   E
 in the morning
E
I'll bring you the catwalk,
 girl, you'll be the
  A           B
 talk of the town

[Chorus]
A             E
Caught in the crosshair
        A           E
 by the side of the road
A          E         A
Love is a rich man or so
        E
 we are told
     A E A E A E A E

[Bridge]
Cm              G#m
You can run and hide
  Hm            F#m
 to your happy place
Cm            G#m  Hm
But you can't deny what's
                F#m
 on your pretty face
Cm            G#m  Hm
That what we knew, it's
            F#m
not coming back
Cm                 G#m
Me and you will be lovers,
 Hm            F#m
 and that's a fact,
           Cm     G
that's a fact
G                     F#m
And you might help me rule
            E
the world, rule the world
     A E A E A E A E

[Verse 2]
E
All of the love and the
                    A  E
power and the glory
E
Every time we kiss
 A          B       A E
 heaven is here
E
You are the star of
               A    E
 my favourite story
E
And if I must confess,
  A        B
 let me be clear

How to play Love Is A Rich Man: key, chords and progression

These are Love Is A Rich Man chords by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Love Is A Rich Man by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 7 chords: A, E, B, Cm, G#m, F#m and G.

Most of the song cycles through A – E – A – B (I – V – I – II in A major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: B, Cm, G#m and F#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
