Chords with lyrics
Chris Sterr is credited with explaining the rational behind Trey’s chord
choice and with helping me figure out the correct way to play the song.
THIS ONE IS THE WAY IT IS PLAYED BY TREY ON THE ALBUM BILLY BREATHS AND LIVE
IN CONCERT ON BITTERSWEET MOTEL.
In concert they cannot tune their guitars to the way it is played on the
album so they play it at normal tuning. On the album their guitars are
tuned a WHOLE STEP DOWN.
The Chords:
E------5-----5------5------3---2---0---------------
B------3-----2------1------3---3---3---------------
G------2-----2------2------2---2---2---------------
D------0-----0------0------------------------------
A------x-----x------x------------------------------
E------x-----x------x------------------------------
E------3-----3------2---------------------------
B------3-----3------3---------------------------
G------4-----3------2---------------------------
D------5-----5----------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------
THEN COMES THE CHANGE
A augmentedA dream it’s true…
E------3-----3------2---------------------------
B------3-----3------3---------------------------
G------4-----3------2---------------------------
D------5-----5----------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------
THEN THE NEXT CHANGE
So if I’m inside your head…
E-------x-----x------3------x--------------------
B------10-----5------3------7--------------------
G------10-----5------4------7--------------------
D------10-----5------5------7--------------------
A------8------3------5------5--------------------
E------x------x------3------x--------------------
THE LAST CHANGE
Come waste your time with me…
E------3-----5------x---------------------------
B------3-----5------5---------------------------
G------4-----6------5---------------------------
D------5-----7------5---------------------------
A------5-----7------3---------------------------
E------3-----5------x---------------------------
That’s it, that is the CORRECT way to play it don’t be fooled by the easier way Trey is masterful. The chords in the beginning are played that way because the notes sound perfect together.
Enjoy!
