[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] Okay, _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ so just play through a verse chorus there with the intro [N] and
let's break it down.
Okay, so starting I play with a capo on the second fret.
So it's probably easiest if I describe the chords [Bm] as they were in the open position.
So although I'm playing here a B minor, I'm going to refer to it as [G] A minor.
So imagine that this is the
nut.
Okay, I think in this particular case, it's easier to describe it like that because we don't have many bar chords.
Okay, so I'm just starting with [Bm] two chords.
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] A _ [G#] minor to [Bm] G.
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ _ [N] And on that I'm just adding the melody that the bass guitar is [B] playing.
[D] _ [E] _ [C#] So [G] you don't have to put this in, but I'm just [B] playing
open A string.
[C#] _
_ [D] B C [E] [D] D [C#] C [B] B, you know, remembering of course that we're treating this as the nut.
[D] _ [E] _
[C#] _ _ Okay, so open [D] two [E] three [D] open [C#m] three [B] two.
[D] _ [C#m] _ [Bm] But I'm putting that with the chords.
[A] _ _ _ [C#] _ [B] Yeah.
[D] _
[A] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ [F#m] _
_ [G] But you don't have to throw that in, but it's just quite nice too.
Okay, and then we're into the chords for the verse.
Very [B] simple.
A minor
_ _ [A] G
_ [Bm] A minor [A] G _ [Bm] A minor [A] G _ [Bm] A minor
And then just putting a adding a 9th there by taking my first finger off. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [G] Then we've got F
_ [A] _ G [D] [F#m] C
C [E] with a B in the [G] bass.
So [Bm] F [A] G [D] C
Then just swapping my fingers [F#m] around to get open two two open one.
[D] _ _ [F#m] _ Just [D] a passing note that B.
_ [Bm] _ A minor
_ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [G] F _ _
[A] G
Okay, _ and that [Bm] just repeats.
So we've got
_ [A] So [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G#] after we've got two of those into the chorus, and we've also got this [C] descending bass line starting [D] on the C. _
[F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ Okay, very kind of
classical almost like the Bach.
[F#m] _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ Okay, so C
[F#m] C with a B in the bass.
_ [Bm] _
A minor.
[A] A minor with [D] G in the bass.
So just
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
F _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] G
_ _ [D] _ [F#m] F _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] G _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
E7
_ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] Back into the intro.
It's pretty [F] straightforward verse chorus type song.
And so it's nice one to play on the acoustic guitar.
Great tune.
So enjoy a bit of Slade.
Thanks guitar buddies. _ _ _ _ _ _
