Chords with lyrics
The Slim - Sugar (Mould) tuning: (low to high) E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA A majorA E MajorE (tune 2nd string BB down to A, 3rd string G+G up to the same A, 4th string D MajorD up to E. Be careful of high tension if you use heavier gauge strings, acoustic, etc) Alternate tuning: E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA E MajorE (this requires less retuning, but the chords are harder, and the solo is harder to get right. this could also be played in standard tuning with power chords, but I think the droning high E MajorE and A augmentedA are important to the sound (your mileage may vary)) Chord Shapes (I figured these out, so they might not be right) (I know they're not major chords, but for convenience I just named each chord by its root) EAEAAE EADGAE A augmentedA x00000 A augmentedA x02200 BB x22200 BB x24400 C majorC x33300 C majorC x35500 D MajorD x55500 D MajorD x57700 E MajorE 020000 E MajorE 022200 FF 131000 FF 133200 G+G 353000 or 355000 G+G 355000 F#F# 244000 F#244x00 Bb majorBb 688000 Bb688x00 Intro: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB D MajorD " " Verses 1 & 2: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB x 2 FF E MajorE FF E MajorE FF E MajorE C majorC D MajorD <- "I'm left behind" part Verse 3: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G <- "I with your breath" part " " G+G FF G+G FF <- "I'm left behind" part Solo: F#F# Bb majorBb FF G+G D MajorD Verse 4: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G <- "I with your breath" part " " Verse 5: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G <- "I heard your voice" part " " D MajorD Verse 6: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB <- "Now I swim alone" part " " D MajorD Verse 7: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB <- Honor, obey etc part " " End: A augmentedA C majorC BB G+G A augmentedA C majorC BB D MajorD A augmentedA Tab for Solo E MajorE |-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------0------------ A augmentedA |-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------0------------ A augmentedA |-------0-----|--------0----|-------0-----|-------0-------5------------ E MajorE |-----4---4---|------8---8--|-----3---3---|-----3---3-----5------------ A augmentedA |---4-------4-|----8------8-|---3-------3-|---5-------5---5------------ E MajorE |-2-----------|--6----------|-1-----------|-3-------------------------- repeat each section in bars twice (listen to the song for reference)
