Chords with lyrics

Shingle song / Peter Hammill

Here's another enjoyable sad song. Play all the F# minorF#m and B minorBm chords on the
first verse without letting the higher (6th) string sound. The other verses -
you shouldn't give a damn, and I didn't check whether Hammill did at all.
The E MajorE and Esus4Esus4 chords are not played on the 0 position (the end of the
neck) but in the way I show (I hope). You can ignore it if it makes you busy
and just play it on the more comfortable position.
Don't forget to sing it in a VERY low bass voice...

The lyrics were typed by somebody to cs.uwp.edu. I don't know who sould get
the credit for that, but he deserves it, anyhow...

F#m:    2-4-4-3-2-2   on first verse better do: 2-4-4-3-2-x
Bm:     2-2-4-4-3-2   on first verse better do: 2-2-4-4-3-x
E:      x-x-6-4-5-4   or:  x-7-9-9-9-x
Esus4:  x-x-x-4-5-5   or:  x-7-9-9-10-x
G#m:    4-6-6-4-4-4
A:      5-7-7-6-5-5
