‘I Know It’s Over’ The Smiths, Live at Kilburn Ballroom vsn - Chords In Desc (Standard - No Capo)

I’ve been meaning to upload a longer demo of this song for some time. I know this isn’t quite as long as the live version (although I am playing it a bit faster), but the ‘Rank’ version is by far my favourite, hence it’s the inspiration for this demo. Some songfacts info: This song was laid down one low-lit evening. Marr recalled to NME in 2011: “We recorded it around about teatime, but England being England it was dark and wet outside. It was very beautiful and it reflected how I felt for a large part of my life, and particularly during that period. But I didn't see a despondency in that, there's an acceptance of melancholia being a part of life, that's why I don't think it's depressing." In 1992, Marr told Record Collector that this was one of his favorite songs on The Smiths' third album, The Queen Is Dead. The guitarist said that he was particularly floored by Morrissey's vocals: "Morrissey's vocal on 'I Know It's Over' - I'll never forget when he did that. It's one of the highlights of my life. It was that good, that strong. Every line he was hinting at where he was going to go. I was thinking, 'Is he going to go there? Yes, he is!' It was just brilliant."
