I wrote this for The Who Guitar Archive (Whotabs) site
(http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/), not realizing that OLGA was still
functioning.

Faith in Something Bigger, by the Who
from Odds n' Sods

Intro: Hold the 5th fret of the B-string to get an E drone.  The notes
go on the E-string to make different voicings of the E chord:
  4  4-5-sl-7  7-5-4  4-2-0   0-2-4

Verse chords should be on the G,B,e strings:
  E   xxx454
  F#m xxx675
  D   xx0775
The A at the end of each line of the chorus can be played as xxx9109

Melody:
By fingering the verse as above, you can incorporate the melody into
the guitar playing.  The verse chords are played with the E string
playing:
4   4-5-4-2-4
5   5-7-5-4-5
5

By playing the same notes two octaves down, you get the short solo.  I
start on the D string, 6th fret.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It may be [E] warm,
But the snow is going to [F#m] fall
Enough to cover us [D] all.

We've gotta be [B] strong men  (na-na-na-na)
And follow a [G] path again.   (na-na-na-na)
We've got to have

A      A  E    D    D   A
Faith in something bigger,
Faith in something bigger,
Faith in something big inside [E] ourselves

It might be [E] cold,
But the heat of our love will [F#m] melt
The snow we've never [D] felt.

We're young and [B] hardy again
We bow to [G] weaker men.
We've got to have

chorus

[G] The more we learn, [D] the less we begin to be true.
[G] The more we prove, [A] the more remains to be proved [Asus4/A].

Solo over verse

We've gotta be [B] strong men
And follow a [G] path again.
We've got to have

chorus
Inside our[B7]selves.

[B7] Faith in something bigger (repeat and fadeout)
