- -Guitar Tablature- - Crowded House - "Help Is Coming" : [from the 'Afterglow' Album] Chords: ------- Gm7: 353333 Dm: 557765 Dm/E: 557755 Ebm: 668876 C7: 335353 Gm/Eb: 355343 [nb: instead of C7, could use Dm/E chord as this is easier on fingers]
Notes: ------ It could be useful to use a Capo on the 3rd fret, although not necessary. The main chord changes go from 'Gm - DmDm - C7' throughout the song for most verses. When playing solo on the guitar, there are variations on the last third that could be played to give a livelier feel: eg. G minorGm - DmDm - 'G7 - Gm7Gm7 - Dm' or G minorGm - DmDm - 'Dm/E - DmDm - C7' or even G minorGm - DmDm - 'Gm - Gm/E - Dm' [etc.etc] Furthermore, on the G minorGm chord throughout the song, you could also add a pattern like G minorGm - Gm7Gm7 - G* - G minorGm rather than strumming the one chord at time G* [just bar the 3rd fret] In the song, Neil just plays the single chord on the guitar whilst the instruments play variations giving different harmonics. The above are ideas when playing solo to provide such harmonic variances. **************************************************************************************** [INTRO:] G minorGm DmDm C7C7 DmDm C7C7 e¦------------¦---------5------¦----------------¦-------------5-¦ B¦-6----->8---¦--------------6-¦-5--->3---------¦---------------¦ G¦------------¦-----7----------¦----------------¦-----------7---¦ D¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ A¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ E¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ G minorGm DmDm C7(single strum) e¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ B¦-6----->8---¦--------------6-¦>5--->3---------¦---------------¦ G¦------------¦-----5>7--------¦----------------¦---------------¦ D¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ A¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦ E¦------------¦----------------¦----------------¦---------------¦
