[Verse 1]
    Bm              D
The last lot made a few mistakes
     E                      G
They didn't die young, they got big 
waists
Bm                     D
We got let down at the back of Earls
 Court
   E                     G
We swore that night we'd never get 
caught
       A5      D5           A5   
'cause we were smarter than they 
      D5      A5   D5   A5 D C
were (they were)
Bm                  D
We started out with guitars and hate
     E                         
With our rooms in the clouds we 
       G
could hardly wait
Bm                  D
Our legs apart, our %$&@% up high
     E                    G
The stage caught fire the charts 
blew up
A5          D5            A5    
And we play worse than they do 
D5         A5  D5  A5 D C B
(they do)


[Chorus]
G
Promises Promises
C         G         F    
Do you remember the promises 
            C G  F
promises?  I do-
C         G         F    
Do you remember the promises 
            C G  F
promises?  I do-
N.C.
(repeat intro riff one time while 
bass plays B-A-G#-G)

[Verse 2]
   Bm                   D
We made our shirts with sprays and 
knives
     E                        
Then we saved up for weeks for 
 G
Malcolm's strides
    Bm                D
Our hair was short we said what we 
thought

     E                G
We'd never be scared; never be 
bought
A5         D5       A5       D5
Never sell out like they did - 
          A5  D5 A5 D C B
they did

[Chorus]
G
Promises Promises
C        G          F    
Do you remember the promises 
            C G  F
promises?  I do-
C        G          F    
Do you remember the promises 
            C G  F
promises?  I do-

C5                C5/B
Where were you in '75
           Fsus2                 
When there weren't no gigs and we 
  C/E C
were jive?
          C/B      F      
(Promises promises promises 
  E
remember)
C                        
No one gave a shit for our 
  C/B
Rock'n'Roll dream
F               E              C
A&R men laughed re-release the Cream
          C/B      F      
(Promises promises promises 
  E
remember)
    C                    C/B  F  E
And they thought we were stupid
    C                    C/B  F  E
And they thought we were stupid
    C                    G        
And we promised we'd get back get 
F
back
C                   G     
Do you remember the promises 
   F
promises?
C                   G     
Do you remember the promises 
   F
promises?
       C           G         F
Well I do, well I do, well I do,
F                 C
Well I do I do I do,
       G          F
Well I do, well I do
C        G        F        F
Promises promises promises remember
C        G        F        F
Promises promises promises remember
(progression repeats many times, 
vocals drop out and return while 
lead guitar improvises)
