The Little Things chords

Danny Elfman

Simplify chords 

  			For the first 4 measures, it is just bass: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| 
E|---4--------4-----------4--------------4-----------------------| 

Then, guitar joins bass with the same riff: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| 
E|---4--------4-----------4---------------4----------------------| 
-- 
Then, the vocals start at 0:16. Verse: 

e|------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--| 

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-------------------------------------------| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6----------------1----2-1-4-1-2----1---2-1--| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------------4-----------------4----------| 


Okay, now we are at 0:46: 

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-----8-8-8-8----(listen to the song for--------6-6-6-6----(repeat---| 
D|-----8-8-8-8-----the beat: just repeat the-----6-6-6-6-----to the---|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| 

e|------------------------------------------------------| 
B|------------------------------------------------------| 
G|------8-8--8--8--8--8---------------------------------| 
D|------8-8--8--8--8--8------(repeat to the-------------| 
A|------6-6--6--6--6--6--------beat until---------------|

We are at 1:10 and back to where we started with: 

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----1---2-1----------1---2-1---------1------2-1-4-1-2-----1---2-1----| 
E|---4-------------4-----------------4---------------------4------------| 

Then at 1:25, the verse returns: 

e|-------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6---| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6---| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4---| 

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-------------------------------------------| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6----------------1----2-1-4-1-2----1---2-1--| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------------4----------------4-----------| 

And then at 1:55, this part comes back: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-----| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6--------8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-----| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4--------6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4-----| 

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6----------------------------------------| 
A|----8--8--8------4-/--(6) 6-------------1----2-1-4-1-2----1---2-1--| 
E|----6--6--6------2-/--(4) 4-----------4----------------4-----------| 

Then at 2:25, the guitar solo begins. I haven’t figured it out yet, but here are the  
that match. Repeat the four chords (well, three, but one is used again) as many times as  
want. 

e|-------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|------8--------------3---------------6----------------8------| 
D|------8--------------3---------------6----------------8------| 
A|------6--------------1---------------4----------------6------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------------| 

At 2:50, the solo ends and we are back to: 

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----1---2-1-----------1---2-1-----------1------2-1-4-1-2-----1---2-1---| 
E|---4-----------------4-----------------4------------------4-------------| 

It is 2:56, and the guitar stops, though the bass continues with the root note of the  
power chords (the notes on the bottom E line). 

At 3:06, the guitar chimes in again to play this riff once: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| 
E|---4--------4-----------4---------------4----------------------|
