Chords with lyrics
Song: Things Mean Alot Artist: Red House Painters Album: Red House Painters (#2) _______________________________________________________ This arr. by Michael Hughes for solo guitar & voice _______________________________________________________ It would be great to correspond with some RHP fans. I'm hard pressed to find a band that I enjoy this much. [email protected] Sept '97 _______________________________________________________ Notes: 1.Sorry I did not take the energy to name all the chords (I would probably name them wrong anyway) There is a lot of droning going on throughout, and I thought this would be the easiest method to relate. 2.This of course is not exact since I'm reducing it to one guitar. It does however stand up fairly well. 3.Lyrics in parenthesis are questionable. I sing, "..heart's heights" 4.Parenthesis are used with double-digit fret numbers for clarity. 5.See additional performance note at end concerning OUTRO. _______________________________________________________ This is a gorgeous little bittersweet piece presented more as a collage than as a verse,verse,chorus,etc form. ENJOY! _______________________________________________________ 3/4 time DADGAD tuning INTRO: crescendo in with repeating xo3o3o xo3o3o xo3ooo xo54oo xo5ooo ooo2ooA augmentedA de- scend- ing climb 4xxoo4 7x7oo7 my feet can't .... x5oo5o x4oo4o x5oo5o to the top (of your .... x3oo3o 55oo5o tomorrow ... 77oo7o 88oo8o the one who I'd sworn .... x3oo3o o5oo5o to take ... 77oo7o 88(10)ooo in the bed .... xo3o3o xo3ooo xo54oo xo5ooo ooo2oo You threat to .... 88oo8o and none of this ... 77oo75 ooo2oo or surface .... 555755 ooo2oo It scares .... xxoo45 7779oo that we won't..... 999(11)oo 5557oo watching the .... 999(11)oo 3335oo or brooding .... 999(11)oo 5557oo 999xxx in the same part .... 999(11)99 777977 4446oo 222422 Scares me how ..... x244xxx x355xxx how you for-get .... 999(11)99 777977 4446oo 222422 Scares me how .... x244xxx x355xxx how you for-get .... ___________________________________________ OUTRO: \ 888(10)oo | Things mean a .....| | 2o2ooo 2o2o4o | don't mean .....| | 888(10)oo 5554ooo 555oo4 | things mean a .....| ___________________________________________/ repeat outro 6 times, end with 888(10)oo _____________________________________________ OUTRO performance note: I like to pull off the highest fretted note of the 888(10)ooo, 2o2o4o, and 555oo4 chords on the upbeat of 2 just prior to moving to the next chord and allow the open pulled-off note to ring thru the next chord
