Chords with lyrics
I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
Eb MajorEb = C majorC
C minorCm = A minorAm
AbAb = FF
Bb majorBb = G+G
This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original
instead of just chords. Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A augmentedA and D MajorD strings back and
forth for the C majorC and the A minorAm and the E MajorE and A augmentedA strings for the FF (barred) and G.
Something like this:
D MajorD|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A augmentedA|-6---6---6---6---6----|
E MajorE|----------------------| ...continue until chord change
D MajorD|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A augmentedA|-3---3---3---3---3----|
E MajorE|----------------------| ...continue
D MajorD|----------------------|
A augmentedA|---6---6---6---6---6--|
E MajorE|-4---4---4---4---4----| ...continue
D MajorD|----------------------|
E MajorE|---5---5---5---5---5--|
E MajorE|-6---6---6---6---6----| ...continue
I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.
