_ _ _ Hi, I'm [E] John Sampson, I'm from the [D] Weaker Thangs, _ [Am] and _ _
[G] I'm going to play a song for you
and show you how to play it. _
That's what I'm supposed to do. _ _ _
And I'm delighted to do so.
_ [F#] _ _ So _ _ _ _ [B] it goes like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's called One Great City, and _ _ _ [A]
it's a very simple song. _ _ _ _
I'll go through it with you.
_ _ _ You start with capo, _ which is the handiest thing for a guitar player like me, who's pretty
much entirely workman-like _ and can't make hard chords with his hands.
So if you get one of these, you just use the chords that you know already, and then you
just put this on there and it changes the key and sound of everything, so it's great. _
I especially like this fourth fret for some reason.
I don't know why.
_ _ _ So you start with just a really simple_
I only use two fingers for this song, and most of the fingerpicking songs, these two
fingers I use.
So I [G#m] just go_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
that's kind of how it goes.
But [F#] then you just play these chords. _
I don't know what they are, I don't know what they're called, but you can see them.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] And you speed it up a bit. _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ And then you [F#] go_ _
Late [B] afternoon, another day is nearly done.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Darker [B] grays breaking through a lighter one. _ _ _ _ _
And so on.
And then the [G#m] chorus.
And up [F#] above [B] us all, _ _ [G#m]
leaning [F#] _ into [B] sky. _
[G#m] Oh, this is the ending.
[F#] Golden business boy.
You know, and so on.
[G#m] Watch the north [F#] end die.
Blah blah [B] blah blah blah.
_ _ _ _ [G#m] Say I love this [A#m]
town.
[C#] La la la.
_ _ Let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim. _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] I hate _ Winnipeg. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So anyway, that's kind of how I do [G#m] it.
And that _ _ [A#] _ _
rhythm is quite useful, I find.
Just a really like a_ _
_ _ Two fingers.
Just move the chords around.
_ _ And you're on your way.
