Give A Little Love

• C#

Noah and the Whale - Give a little Love
Standard tuning.

Capo on 1st fret

Chords can be played a few differnt ways.
(fret numbers from capo position. e.g 1 = 2nd fret etc)

Simple 'strumming' way:
C# -0       Fm-0      D#-2    G#-3     G#/G-3
   -1         -0        -3      -3         -3
   -0         -0        -2      -0         -0
   -2         -2        -0      -0         -0
   -3         -2        -0      -2         -0
   -0         -0        -x      -3         -2

The other way (and how they are played on the track) is by playing these on the bottom 3 
(low strings) instead of strumming the chord :
(play them for longer/shorter depending on how the long the chord is played)

C#  -------2-- -----2-------2--------2-|
    --3--------3--------3-------3------|
    --3--------3--------3-------3------|

Fm  ------5-- -------5---------5--------5-|
    -2---------2---------2---------2------|
    -0---------0---------0---------0------|

D#  ------4-- -------4---------4--------4-|

    -5---------5---------5---------5------|

Verse2 (same as verse1):
Well my heart is bigger than the earth
And though life is what gave it love first
Life is not all that it's worth
'Cause life is fleeting
Yeah, but I love you
And my love surrounds you like an ether
In everything that you do


Chorus (same as first chorus) x 2


Bridge: From here to the end of the song its the same chord progression as the first Bridge.

Well if you are (what you love)

        C#,
And you do (what you love)

        G#,                 D#
I will always be the sun and moon to you


And if you share (with your heart)
Yeah, you give (with your heart)
What you share with the world is what it keeps of you


Fm,      C#,       C#,        D#         ' till the end...
