Cast No Shadow (Oasis) acoustic cover by Andy Starkey
Noel Gallagher wrote this song sung by Liam Gallagher about Richard Ashcroft from The Verve who had a hit with Bitter Sweet Symphony from their album Urban Hymns back in the 1990’s.
The song only contains a small number of chords and is a nice accompaniment to perform live as well as Wonderwall.
Chords in Cast No Shadow by Oasis are:
- Verse: Asus4 G
- Bridge: Em D Cadd9 G – Em D Cadd9
- Chorus G Asus4 Cadd9 Em D – Em D Cadd9
Note: The Asus4 in this song also has your little finger on the top E string on the third fret ringing a G note.
Lyrics to Cast No Shadow by Oasis
Here’s a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (what’s in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can (surviving if he can) (Second time around: But only if he can)
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride x 3
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As you will see the entire song is simply repeated from the start again with the exact same lyrics apart from Noel’s call back changes from “Surviving if he can” to “But only if he can” second time around.
