Hi guys!
No chords nor tabs online for this great song yet so for the 2 or 3 of us who'd like to play ithere it is.
The tuning is pretty messy so if you're not willing to tune down all of your 6 strings,
I propose you just play it in drop D, which sounds really nice too with the usual chords:
Bm [ X 2 4 4 3 2 ]
a barre slide to the G [ 5 5 5 X X X ] ( or more tricky [ 5 5 0 4 (0) (0) ] )
Asus4 [ X 0 2 2 3 0 ] (replacing the D/A)
D [ 0 0 0 2 3 2 ]
D/F# [ 4 0 0 2 3 0 ]
Bm/E [ 2 2 4 4 3 2 ]
You can take the picking you like mostly everything can fit but
I suggest starting by strumming the bass string first.
On the tape John turns around the F# string a lot, just saying.
Tuning: Open D (major) [ D A D F# A D ]
Chords:
Bm7 [ 9 X 0 0 0 0 ] / [ 9 X 0 12 0 0 ] / [ 9 X 0 0 12 0 ] (Both played next to each other is more dynamic)
D/G [ 5 X 0 0 0 0 ]
D/A [ 7 0 0 0 0 0 ]
D [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]
D/F# [ 4 0 0 0 0 0 ]
Bm/E [ 2 2 0 0 2 0 ] -or- [ 2 2 0 0 0 0 ] for Bm7/E
There is 2 main melodic riffs in this song one at the vibraphone [riff I]
and the other at the guitar [riff II] that I wrote next to each other here.
Just play the finger positions of the chords above with the picking below
and you can add any of the 0 you'd like to play in between all the sequences
or the bass note to fulfill the sound, everything fits in the harmonies
and it's a lot better when it's played freely.
