Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE) Key: AbAb Difficulty: Novice Artist: The 1975 Song: It's Not Living If It's Not With You Album: A augmentedA Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships Key: AbAb major BPM: 121 So I think this one is going to be a pretty polarising transcription as all the chords I've seen are VASTLY different. But this one I know is in Ab/G# major for sure. Timing wise I think I've got it. I put a high pass filter on the song and just focused on the bass to get it. I do believe there could be an Eb MajorEb for two beats and an FF minor for two beats instead of the straight bar of Eb MajorEb in the chorus - but not sure. Someone want to confirm? Broken it down below. ----------------------- Chord Rhythm Breakdown: Intro: DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) Verse 1: Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb 2 beats (half a bar) AbAb for 6 beats (one and a half bars) Choruses DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) Verse 2: Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb 2 beats (half a bar) AbAb for 6 beats (one and a half bars) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) C minorCm for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) Instrumental Bridge: AbAb for 8 beats (two bars) DbDb for 8 beats (two bars) DbDb for 16 beats (four bars) Vocal Bridge: AbAb for 12 beats (two and a half bars) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 12 beats (two and a half bars) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Outro 1 DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) Outro 2 (same as chorus) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) AbAb for 4 beats (one bar) DbDb for 4 beats (one bar) Eb MajorEb for 4 beats (one bar) ----------------------- So that is a basic and blunt breakdown for the chords for the song. Just try and follow Ross' sick bass line and when he really accents it and I've done my best to place the chords where they change but Matty does carry over some of the lines so don't follow him too close. If you are arranging a cover feel free to make it easier for you. After all, these chords are meant as guide not gospel. If you want to play with a capo, put a capo on one and transpose this down one semitone. This will allow you to play the G-major shapes aka THE EASIEST CHORD SHAPES. Alternatively you can tune your guitar down one semitone into Eb/D# standard and then transpose these chords UP ONE and play off that so you're in the A augmentedA major shape for standard. If you find issue with this or what I've said, write a comment and let's collaborate, not hate.
