Guitar chords with lyrics
English class with Spanish primary school students. They love this song, so I had to transcribe it so they can sing it along with the original English version and me playing over it with my electric guitar. It looks like a lot of fun for them. So here it is for anyone who might need to use it too. First verse, C-7 withG+G on the bass could be played as Eb, but
G+G on bass, on a
Eb MajorEb triad does not sound good at all. The same stands for the Bb-7 chord and the
FF on the bass . It could be played as
DbDb triad with same result; it does not sound fine. The last part of the theme (from
AbAb and so on) I play it with no roots. If you play it with a bass player, let him do it. So basically I play the fifth chord tone on fifth string, tonic on fourth and the third chord tone on third string. Then I finish with the
AbAb final chord playing root on sixth string and vibrating the whole chord with the tremolo bar (whammy bar) until stop. I sounds pretty good this way. Of course, you will need some distortion (although not too much). The song is on
AbAb major but it could be that, because the arrangement has a brass section (instruments on
Bb majorBb and
Eb MajorEb), the original guitar player might be tuning the guitar a half tone lower (
Eb MajorEb tuning on sixth string) and then playing the song on
A augmentedA major. Jaime Alejandro Bustarviejo Madrid (SPAIN)
