Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is the fourth and final song in the That's Why God Made the Radio ending suite. The acoustic guitar in
this song is pretty low in the mix so this is really just a transposition of the entire song's
instrumentation onto one guitar. It's actually very simple chord-wise for the bulk of the song.
The intro is played on a tack piano. I tabbed it out here and wrote the chord progression without tab below
it. I just fingerpick it but a pick could also be used. This piano part plays through a lot of the song but
this is really the only vital part.
For the first verse, I hear a Bb6 in place of the normal Bb. It might just be because the keyboard and
melody play a G but it sounds nice as written. In that vein, I've included some more chords for inflection
for the rest of the song too. The D7sus2 might just be result of the production and it sounds more like a
D9, but I just made it a suspended chord for ease of playing.
Well, that's it. I really enjoyed transcribing these songs. Let me know in the comments if there are any
other songs you'd like me to have a go at.
