Gleemer chords by Guided By Voices

Chords with lyrics

But, you ask, what about Gleemer? Well, here's my try:


It starts with G3 C3 D5D5 (all barre, the numbers are the frets for the

barre, DON'T play a D MajorD fifth). Then it goes to the verses:

    G+G G* E minorEm C majorC

 This G* is just a G+G with an F#F# (2nd fret, E MajorE string) in the bass, but I

can't play it with my thumb, so I hire a bassist. The chorus is the same,

and to get from the verses to the chorus, after the C majorC go D MajorD C majorC G+G and into the

chorus. I realize this probably makes little, if any, sense, but listen to

the album and you can probably figure it out (I actually got some help from

the Bevil Web version). I worked up a punk version of this with

powerchords, but it sounds really cheesy as a punk song, so don't try it at

home.

From Dougie:


Actually on Gleemer, I would like to add the following....


INTRO: Cmajor9 with suspension....ok make a G+G chord...now move your 1st and

2nd

    fingers down one (ie your 2nd finger which is on 2nd fret/5th string...

    move it down to 2nd fret 4th string....OK?)


Song: I play the following G+G B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD

   Then when "The higher clouds" I play: G+G G/F#M E minorEm C majorC

   Then when Toby sings "Could this be...": G+G C majorC D MajorD


End Riff: String:6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5

     Fret :0 0 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 0

	Try this riff anyway you would like...you could add String 6 Fret 4

    instead of using S:6 and F:0...so start with S:6 F:2
