Chords with lyrics
In the verse I've labled C majorC * and BB *. These are to indicate a single note walk-down picked on the on the
A augmentedA string, followed by a down/up strum on the strings below it. So it might look something like ...
e|---0-0---0-0-------------|
BB|---1-1---1-1-------------|
G+G|---2-2---2-2-------------|
D MajorD|---0-0---0-0-------------|
A augmentedA|-3-----2-----------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------|
There is also a simple little hook that is sometimes played between verses.
e|-------0-----|
BB|-------0-----|
G+G|-------0-----|
D MajorD|-2-0---0-----|
A augmentedA|-------2-----|
E MajorE|-----3-3-----|
I have trouble singing it this high, so I transpose it -5 to play in C majorC instead of G. If you do that, the
above two just move down 1 string. Kinda cool, right:
e|---0-0---0-0-------------|
BB|---1-1---1-1-------------|
G+G|---0-0---0-0-------------|
D MajorD|-3-----2-----------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------|
e|-------0--------|
BB|-------1--------|
G+G|-2-0---0--------|
D MajorD|-------2--------|
A augmentedA|-----3-3--------|
E MajorE|----------------|
