I don't know if this has been pointed out before but watching this video of Johnny play This Charming Man, the chords he uses are the same as Live Forever. G-D-Am7-C-D. On the recorded version he played two semitones higher so it's a bit more difficult to tell.
On a side note, I could just sit and watch him play guitar all day.

Striking similarity indeed, but I've never noticed it before watching this video.
And Johnny is such a god...

makes sense ,only thing noel is so honest ,he always says where he got his inspiration from i would think he would have been happy to credit marr with the inspiration if he actually got it from there no ?

Wasn't there a Rolling Stones song too that the Live Forever verse bore similarities to?

Noel has stated the the verse melody of Live Forever was inspired by/based off of the chorus of Shine A Light. As far as I know, he has never claimed that the chord progression is the same (it is not), so that leaves the possibility that the song itself was inspired by something else and he was able to marry that with the "borrowed" melody. |

It's a pretty standard chord progression, used in like a million songs. Gotta say i never really heard Shine a Light in Live Forever, nor that smiths song.

If I recall the interview where Noel talked about it correctly, it's the "May the good lord [pause] shine a light on you" part that inspired the "Maybe [pause] I don't really want to know" melody. |

I can see that, Noel mostly writes by hearing other people's songs and creates entirely new tunes, there's definitely something in his brains that unlocks a melody hearing another one. It's a fascinating process when you write songs, it happens quite a lot. The tricky thing is to end up with something different and... good  |

The recording of This Charming Man is actually in a different key so the actual chords are different but the progression for the intro is the same.
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side has the actual same chords as the verse of Live Forever though
