This is probably the best song Spice Girls have ever done. I'm one of
those sad bastards who actually likes the Spice Girls (and admits it)
so I decided to work it out. It's fairly simple in its chord
progressions, and therefore quite easy to interpret in a way that suits
you best.

Chords and lyrics:
Bm/E/G/D
(aah... say you'll be there)
Bm E
I'm giving you everything
G D
All that joy can bring, this I swear
Bm E
Last time that we had this conversation
G D
I decided we should be friends
Bm E
But now we're going 'round in circles
G D
Tell me will this deja-vu never end?
And now you tell me that you've fallen in love
Well I never ever thought that would be
This time you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me
riff B: (played over bridge)

Bridge 2:
Bm E
Say you will be there
Bm -
Won't you say it with me?
If you put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is four
If you can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
Bridge: (repeat riff B)
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
Chorus:
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring, this I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
Yeah... I want you
Solo: Bm/E/G/D
(Just play around, it shouldn't be too hard to get
the hang of it)
Bridge (repeat riff B)
C Bm
Any fool can see they're falling
Bb A
I gotta make you understand
(n.c.)
I'll give you everything, on this I swear
Just promise you'll always be there
Repeat chorus to fade
(add. lyrics: I'm giving you everything/all that joy can bring/yes I swear)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SPICE GIRLS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
