The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends guitar lesson
Chord charts and the backing track are available to my Patrons. If you find my videos useful, please consider supporting me:

These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!

As far as I can tell, this is very close to the chord shapes originally used on the recording. I threw in a few of the little flourishes which you can hear being played in the song, but you can ignore these if they prove too challenging. The strum pattern is a bit hectic, but fits very nicely into the flow of the song. It's a relaxed 16th note pattern that you don't need to focus too much on getting perfect.

I love this, man!


You choose to cover the Sundays, and then you have chord graphic, AND THEN you don't waste time at all and get right into it. Also made your own backing track so people learn how to play with that properly too.

Thank you so much. I never thought of seeing a cover/tutorial of The Sundays these days.

[disorder_go]

Such a lovely song to play.. and relatively simple too. Thanks for this.

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
But I can see how people look down
They're on the inside
Here's where the story ends
People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
It's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
And I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Oh, here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh, the devil in me said, "Go down to the shed"
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends

Such a underrated band. Thanks for the lesson

[stevejohnston]

Great lesson...great ears-especially the bridges 2nd chord.

I love learning from left handed guitar, it's like looking in the mirror so it makes it very easy.

[logintothebruh]

I relate to this song so much im so glad I found this tutorial!!

[em-dashman]

Nailed it! So many tabs just miss the mark 😉 Thanks - I was nearly there on my own 😂

[SigurRush]

Left-handed guitar lessons! And for a great song - Bravo!

[juderose]

This is an absolutely fantastic version and really easy to learn from. Thank you!

[lowellweeks]

Absolutely Brilliant! Looking forward to more. Kudos!

[Holonomics]

Wow - thanks so much for this. I am a big fan of The Sundays (showing my age) and this is really helpful. I'd love to see you doing "Joy" if at all possible.

[itsajackaldotcom]

can you do one on "24 hours" by the Sundays

[alexyang]

This is so cool. I used to play all the chords as simple open chords, which made it difficult to incorporate the sparse high lead into the strumming, which however I used to try to do at the same time. The open chords you used on the higher frets however will make it easier to hit the high notes and flourishes if I try this again. Thanks for sharing, I love learning new open chords. Also I tend to put my pinkie on the D, on the B string when I strum that open G7, which tends to help a lot with the little flourishes on the outro in particular. The difficulty in this song for me has tended to be in trying to continue that exact quirky, simple, but elusive strum pattern and rhythm (but keeping an ear on the rhythm of the outro flourish helps to remember it I think).

[StephenInKanata]

Came here looking for your previous video lesson of this song which I liked a lot and was still working on. Are all those videos gone for good? I'll miss them!

[myuselesschannel]

Sweet, I was actually learning this from the original video. This one sounds more accurate too.

[disabledartistsofnorthamer]

Can righties play, too? Great song and lesson. Nice, simple and all you need without the stuff you don't.

[R-X]

When I play Cadd9, do I have to mute the third and fourth string with my index finger? A bit difficult...

[alwayscurious]

Great job - interesting to see the left have view but great if you practice in front of a mirror. As an aside the key is way to high for a tenor male vocal - I have to drop the whole thing half an octave and reconfigure the chords accordingly! Makes it even more smiths like ….
