[C#m]
[E]
[E] You can play those three chords from a long time.
[N] But finally I decided I needed more in this song, so I experimented and I found basically
a two minor chord, something like a D minor chord.
[F#m] Not this chord, but this chord, [A] which I love.
It's my favorite chord.
[F#m] It [A] shows [N] up in a lot of my songs.
And I'm really telling you a secret here because it's not obvious, but I'm sharing it because
I didn't invent it.
I'm barring the whole second fret, all across six strings.
And then the second finger is playing the D there on the second string.
I'm letting that first string ring.
[C#] And then I'm playing [E] with the pinky on the fourth string on the fifth fret, this G [A] basically.
So the chord is ending [F#m] up being this.
[F#]
[C#m] And what's really cool about [F] this chord is you can move it around.
You can go [A] here.
[F#]
And [A] even here.
[B] So I started with an introduction where I'm actually playing, I even took the bar away
and went down here.
[E] So I said, oh, maybe I should start the song there and modulate up to that two minor chord
and then start the song.
So the current version of Needed Time is this.
[D] [A] [D]
[F#m] [F#]
[E] [B] [F#m] So with this shape,
[D#] I decided that I [G#] needed some movement, a melody.
So I decided to use these inside strings to create some [G] kind of melody.
So I ended up with something like this.
[E]
[A] [E]
[F#] [D#] [F#]
And I could play that chord for a long time.
[F#m] Finally the people said, what are you doing?
