[D] _ [C] _ _
[Em] _ _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ So I've played through an abridged version of the verse and chorus there just playing one verse
and into the chorus
So I start with a E minor over G chord
So I'm playing
Three on the E string.
I'm not playing the A string.
I'm playing two on the D string a
open G open B
G on three
Now there's two guitars on the record one kind of playing that top melody
_ Okay another guitar playing
More kind of open chords.
So this version that I've worked out
It's just my attempt to combine the two guitars for just one guitar.
So I start with that
_ [D] Then I'm playing a D6 chord.
So open D on then A on [G] two open B and
F sharp on two
_ _ _ [C]
One
I'm playing a C major 7 chord
[C] That's 10 on 10 on the D string then 9 [Em] 8 7
_ I put a little harmonic in there
[F#] before going to a C diminished [Am] chord
that's [G] a on 7
D [B] sharp on 8 F sharp on [F#] 7
C on 8
[Em] so _
[D] [F#] Then play an open B.
So I've got
_ [Em] Then an E minor chord
Just at the 7th position
[B] I'll play the B7 chord.
So that's 2 4 4 4 5
_ _ [G] Then I'm playing
kind of discord F sharp [D#] G
[B] D sharp A
so you could think of that as
[D] a G
Major 7 sharp 5 [B] with a 9th
okay, so _
_ _ [D#] then I'm playing a
D with a sharp 5 a B.
Sorry with a sharp 5
so [G] that's D sharp G B G and
then [B] just I did an F [G] sharp on 2 so 1 open open [F#] 3 and
then go to 2
[B] [C#] And go back to [G] my first chord E minor over G
[Bm] _ D6 again
[C] _ C major 7 [F#] harmonic
C diminished open B
[C] _ [B] _ _ [G] E minor A
[Em] minor 7 E minor and then it repeats and the second time the E minor A minor 7
to E minor
[D#] Plays twice and then we're into this kind of rocky chorus [G] section.
So we've got a G
_ [A#]
B flat
[C] C7
[G] back to G
that just repeats
[A#] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [C#] Okay, and that goes around a few times [Em] and then we're back into
[G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [Em] _ _ [F#] Beautiful chords great song and thanks for watching buddies
