Song: The drugs don't work (Radio Edit)
Group: The Verve
Album: Urban Hymns

This is the second single of the Verve's album Urban Hymns. The song is really easy to play. Nice chord progression. The Verve have been around
since 1989 but all of a sudden they have become commercially popular.
Yet their music has always stayed quite similar and their classic work
is often their oldest stuff. So if you like this and their newer music
try out old music like "a northen soul" and "a storm in heaven".


Chords used:

C  alternates between X32013 and X32003 (uses second version to got to Am)
Am alternates between X02210 and X02200 (uses second version to got to Em)
Em 022000
F  (Barre chord) 133211
G  320033

NB C somtimes drops from X32013 to 30013 (But you can figure out where!)
