Tuning: Standard
I couldn't find chords for this song anywhere so I just threw this together.
Hopefully if anyone knows better they can post the amendments. Cheers for reading, and
I hope you enjoy.
CHORDS:
I think Rick uses these base chord formations (and does a lot of swanky stuff around
them). You can drop the low E to D and barre straight across the bottom three strings if
you like.
E5 D5 C B7 A5 G5
e|---x-----x-----0-----2-----x------x---------|
B|---5-----3-----1-----0---- 10-----8---------|
G|---4-----2-----0-----2-----9------7---------|
D|---2-----0-----2-----1-----7------5---------|
A|---2-----0-----3-----2-----7------5---------|
E|---x-----x-----x-----x-----x------x---------|
I personally find the following formations a bit easier (or nicer) for accompaniment
purposes (C and B7 remain unchanged):
Em Dsus2 A5 G5
e|---0-----0-------5-----3---------|
B|---0-----3-------5-----3---------|
G|---0-----2-------x-----x---------|
D|---2-----0-------7-----5---------|
A|---2-----0-------7-----5---------|
E|---0-----x-------x-----x---------|
In the Chorus you can slide the C up to Dadd11 if you like, that works just fine. I
just prefer the Dsus
