_ _ _ [G] Hey guys, easy song in the blood by John Mayer.
Four chords.
Here they are.
Capo 1, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
capo 1.
The four chords are G, D, E minor, C.
Four very common chords used a lot in a lot of songs.
I'm going to have pictures as I play them right here.
_ G chord, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] [Eb] D chord, _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] E minor, _ _ _ _ _ _ C.
[Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Down in the description there is a link to a chord chart on Ultimate Guitar posted by Ice Orb.
Okay, shout out to him.
He posted a chord chart for [C] this song and it's pretty much accurate.
So you're going to need that to know all the little details.
It is just the four chords, but they're used in a lot of different orders and each one
is used with different lengths at different times.
So go check that out.
That'll give you all the details.
Okay, the strum pattern that you'll probably use the most.
Very simple.
The song is in four, so you're counting to four.
So you have four down strums every pattern.
[Ab] So just one, two, three, four.
And [A] then you want to throw two [B] up strums in toward the [C] end, [Ab] like this.
One, two, three and four and one, two, three and four and one, [B] two, three and four and
one, two, three and four.
[C] Once you get that, put a little accent, put an emphasis on beat [Ab] three.
One, two, three and four and one, two, three and four.
Up to speed. _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ One, two, [Fm] three and four and one, two, three and [Db] four and one, two, [Ab] three and four and
one, two, three and four. _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] And then when you want [G] to take that strum pattern a little further, just change where
the up strums are.
So this time I'm only going to put an up strum after four.
[Abm] One, two, three [Fm] and four and one, _
[Abm] two, three and four and one, two, three and four and
one, two, three and four.
And [D] then you can put more up strums.
[Ab] How about on two, three and four?
One, two, three [Fm] and four and one, two, three [Ab] and four _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Db] and one, [Ab] two, three and four and one.
Just mess around with where you're going to play the up strums [G] and you get a lot of different little styles.
Okay, as far as the bass line that you hear at the beginning of the song, you need to
know a couple notes _ _ on the sixth and fifth strings.
So the two thickest strings.
And on each of them it's the [F] same notes.
So zero, [G] [Ab] two and three.
[G] You need to know zero, two and three on each of [F] those strings.
[Ab] So maybe just [Gb] play those through [Db] a couple of times.
[Bb] _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
[G] _ [F] _ _ Okay?
[Ab] Those are the notes you kind of need to memorize.
And they're very useful in a lot of songs.
You can play around with those notes.
The beginning of this song starts with G and then it goes to E minor.
And we're going to use those notes on the sixth string to create a little walking sound.
So when we play our G chord, we have our finger on the third fret and you strum that.
_ _ _ [Abm] And then on four, you change to the second fret.
_ [F] And then when you get to one, you're [Ab] here.
One, two, _ [G]
[Fm] three, four, one, two.
_ _ _ [Ab]
One, _ three, [G] [F] four, one, [Fm] two.
_ Listen to it without me talking.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ [G] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ Bow, bow.
Nice little walk, right?
After that, we have a walk up from the fifth string.
So after I [Abm] play G and I walk [Fm] down to E minor, _ then you're going to walk up [Ab] _
second fret of
the [C] fifth string to the third.
_ [Fm] _
_ _ And like that, if [C] you hear the burr, [Db] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ you hear that, you [Db] probably did something right.
_ [G] After you do that walk up on the fifth [Fm] string, then you walk back [Db] down.
Three [C] to two. _ _
[Ab] _ _ And then you reach a G chord. _ _
_ _ All together. _ _ _
[G] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [F] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] Pretty _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
simple.
So go check this one out.
Go learn it, love it, and then go learn more.
_ Much of [Fm] my mother, has my mother [Ab] left in me. _
_ Much of my love [Eb] will be the same to some degree.
_ [Ab] _ _ About this [Fm]
feeling that I'm never [Ab] good enough.
[Fm] Will it wash out in [Ab] the water, or [Eb] is it always [Ab] in the _ _ _ _ _ gutter?
Much of [Fm] my father, am I destined to [Ab] become? _
I got a lot inside me, [Eb] just a space
