Chords with lyrics
Roads by Portishead ------------------- Tabbed by Frederic Maquet The A minorAm chord is sometimes "sussed" to add a transition, but mostly chords are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of distortion. The strumming can be slightly tricky if you're singing at the same time, so listen to the record to get it right. Intro/Verse: A minorAm G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7 FF G+G A minorAm e:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|-------------------- ---| B:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|-------------------- ---| G:----5------------0-----|----2--------1----|------|---0h2-----0h4-----5 ---|x2 D:-7--------7------2-----|----2--------0----|--x2--|---0h3-----0h5-----7 ---| A:----7------------2-----|----3--------2----|------|-----3-----0h5-----7 ---| E:-5---------------3-----|----1--------0----|------|-----1-------3-----5 ---| Drums come in... Verse 1: -------- A minorAm G6G6 Fma7 E7E7 A minorAm Oho, can't anybody see? You gotta walk to find me, G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7 Never found our way, regardless, of what they say FF G+G A minorAm FF How can it feel, this wrong? From this moment, G+G A minorAm How can if feel, this wrong? Verse 2: (same chords as previously) Chords have more echo here -------- A minorAm G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7 A minorAm Stoned, in the morning light, I feel, no more G6G6 Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7 FF G+G Can I say, frozen, to myself, I got nobody on my side, A minorAm And surely that ain't right FF G+G A minorAm Surely that ain't right. Verse 3: -------- Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd A minorAm is sussed, if you see what I mean...(play 2nd A minorAm as Am->Asus4->G6) Until: FF G+G A minorAm FF How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment G+G E7E7 How can it feel, this wrong? Break: ------ Play intro (with a lot of bass A, G, F, E MajorE) up to: FF G+G A minorAm FF How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment G+G E7E7 How can it feel, this wrong? Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro). Ends on: A minorAm "...this wrong." Other ways of playing some chords: ---------------------------------- Fmaj7Fmaj7 Amsus4 A minorAm G6G6 or e:--0---------------0-----3--0--| B:--1---------5-----1-----5--0--| The 1st G6G6 voicing is a bit crap, G:--2---------7-----2-----4--0--| but Fmaj7Fmaj7 and A minorAm and 2nd G6G6 are easier D:--3---------7-----2-----x--0--| to play like this on an accoustic A:--3---------7-----0-----5--2--| and sound better.. E:--0---------5-----------3--3--|
