Chords with lyrics

TIME AFTER TIME (ANNELISE)


The tune is in E MajorE flat, but uses standard RES chord shapes.

Play the main riff and chorus on a guitar tuned to F, or tuned normally and
capoed to the first fret, or tuned to E MajorE flat and capoed on the second fret.

Play the 2nd guitar part on a guitar tuned to E MajorE flat, so you can get the drone
effect. You can just play the 1st and 2nd strings if you want.

Play the 3rd guitar part (ringing chords) on a guitar tuned to E MajorE flat, using
this shape:
Eb MajorEb chord shape: 079900

Main riff (tune to FF or capo 1st fret)
F--|-0----0-0-0---3-3-sl-5-0---- This is the main riff and repeats many times
C--|-3----3-3-3---3-3--------0-- throughout the song. I believe that the main
Ab-|-2----2-2-2---2-2----------- chord here is Dsus2Dsus2 with some extra picking
Eb-|-0----0-0-0---0-0----------- thrown in. Wierd, but not so hard once you get
Bb-|---------------------------- the hang of it. Tune to FF to maximize ringing
F--|---------------------------- of open strings. (Or play in standard tuning
                 with capo on 1st fret).

2nd guitar (tune to E MajorE flat)
Eb-|-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0---| This is the droning heard through most of the song.
Bb-|-5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5---| Play with either two or three strings, your choice.
Gb-|-9-9-9-9--------------|
Db-|----------------------|
Ab-|----------------------|

End on Eb MajorEb chord (7th fret)

Notes: There are three guitars on this song. One (tuned to F?) plays the
main riff. The second basically drones on Eb MajorEb notes, played on two strings at
once. A augmentedA 12 string would be ideal for this part. A augmentedA third guitar plays the Eb MajorEb
chord on the seventh fret (with open Eb MajorEb and Bb majorBb strings). It sounds like
there's more going on due to the interaction of these parts.
