THE BALLAD OF SQUEAKY FROMME (Amy Ray) -------------------------------------- The whole song is pretty much Am C G D, with some variations, mostly by taking your middle finger off and on various strings. ("Random 9's," I call it.) I think the intro is something like this: Am Am(4) C C(9) G G(9) D D(9) E 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|0-----0---0-0-0-|3-----3-3-3-2---|------2-2-0-0-0-| B 1-----1-1-1-1-1-|1-----1---1-1-1-|0-----0-0-0-3---|------3-3-3-3-3-| G 2-----2-2-2-2-2-|0-----0---0-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-2---|------2-2-2-2-2-| D 2-----2-0-0-0-0-|2-----2---2-0-0-|0-----0-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| A 0-----0-0-0-0-0-|3-----3---3-3-3-|2-----2-0-0-0---|----------0-0-0-| E ----------------|3-----3---3-3-3-|3-----3-3-3-----|----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
And something close to that goes through the whole song, except the D usually falls more on the downbeat... Am C G D [intro] Am C G D We're .. Am C G D I can .. Am C G D They say .. Am C G D But ..
