Democracy is Overrated: Guitar Tabs and Chords for "House of Cards" Theme Music by Jeff Beal

N

House of Cards

othing lasts, not forever. Not laughter, not lust, not even life itself. Not forever. Which is why we make the most of what we have! And then she asked me if I believed in heaven. And I said NO. And then she asked if I had no faith in God. I said you have it wrong. It's God that has no faith in us.

Welcome to the 21^st Century… where Democracy is overrated.

I know, I know! You might ask, “What the hell are you talking about?”

You will know what all this is about only if you have watched and/or read “House of Cards” TV Series and/or Trilogy by Michael Dobbs respectively.

The opening theme music for the “House of Cards” TV series is composed by Jeff Beal. The music is so mesmerizing, and perfectly matches the mood of the “House of Cards.”

And don’t even get me started with the quotes by “Frank Underwood” throughout the series. They’re bitterly true! I will be archiving the brilliant Quotes by him in the near future. So keep visiting this page.

And before we get to reinvent the Music, let’s appreciate Aashik Shrestha for his unmatchable ability to work out the tabs!
