Satellites chords by Doves

Chords with lyrics

These are the chords from the song "Satellites" written and performed by =
(the) Doves on their 2002 Capitol Records release "The Last Broadcast." =
The song is pretty simple as far as chords go. It's carried mostly by =
its sublime arrangement. =20

A augmentedA few notes:

-You should tune down a half step, as it makes the G+G - G/F# - E minorEm change =
during the chorus much easier. The chords as I've written them are =
relative to a guitar tuned to Eb, i.e. on the record they're all a half =
step higher in pitch. =20

-The C majorC major chords sound a little better with a low G+G in the bass =
(332010), especially during the intro and chorus

-In the final short verse, play G6G6 in the seventh position (779787). =
Bar the seventh fret with your first finger, fret the BB string at the =
8th fret with your second finger, and fret the D MajorD string at the 9th fret =
with your third finger.  I suppose you could also see this as an E minor 7Em7 =
with BB in the bass, but calling it G6G6 fits the rest of the song better. =

-Also in the third verse, you may want to play the E minorEm in the seventh =
position. I'm pretty sure Jez Williams's arpeggiated figure towards the =
end revolves around the 7th position Em. =20
