¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Note 1: *riff – the riff in the intro and chorus is simply lifting off of the 2nd string and then the third string on both the [Am] and the [Fmaj7] before transitioning to [C/G]. So, on the [Am], play the chord as usual, then play it with the second string open, then play 2-0 on the third string, and do the exact same thing on the [Fmaj7] before playing the [C/G]. It should look something like this:
Note 2: the verses consist of a continuous [Am] [G] [C/G] [G] [Am] [G] [C/G] pattern, in which the [G] is played only on the fifth and sixth strings and is stroked for just one quick beat each time you transition between [Am] and [C/G]. Listen to get the timing.
Chords used (with capo on 2): [Am]: 0-1-2-2-0-x----| [Fmaj7]: 0-1-2-3-3-x-| [C/G]: 0-1-0-2-3-3---| [G]: x-x-x-o-2-3-----|
I was [G] born into A [C/G] circus [G] [Am] But I ran [G] off to [C/G] join a home [G] [Am] They said [G] that [C/G] I was worthless That my [Fmaj7] family died un[C/G]known
[G] [Am]
So it [G] gets, and so it [C/G]goes [G] [Am] That’s what [G] you get [C/G] I suppose [G] [Am] For [G] wanting something [C/G] more Than a [Fmaj7] life of walking [C/G] rows
All the [G] Christians left [C/G] behind [G] [Am] At the [G] cross[C/G]roads of your town [G] [Am] Ah, [G] they’re playing truth or [C/G] dare Beneath [Fmaj7] the sanctuary [C/G] now
[G] [Am]
Some wish [G] they [C/G] had the truth [G] [Am] Some wish [G] they [C/G] had the gold [G] [Am] But they’re [G] ain’t no sense in [C/G] leaving From the [Fmaj7] only game you [C/G] know
CHORUS [Am] [Fmaj7] [C/G] (w/ *riff) [C/G] Oh I know how good you are How [Am] hard it is [Fmaj7] [C/G] [C/G] How good you are
There’s A [G] butler in [C/G] your hallway [G] [Am] He is [G] troublesome [C/G] and old [G] [Am] He repeats [G] the [C/G] word alive To de[Fmaj7]scribe your family [C/G] gold
[G] [Am]
You ask [G] him [C/G] please to go [G] [Am] But there’s one [G] thing you [C/G] don’t know [G] [Am] He [G] carved [C/G] April 7th, ‘65 Into the [Fmaj7] side of your pia[C/G]no
CHORUS [Am] [Fmaj7] [C/G] (w/ *riff) [C/G] Oh I know how good you are How [Am] hard it is [Fmaj7] [C/G] [C/G] How good you are
Everything that [G] you were [C/G] meant for [G] [Am] Everything that [G] you were [C/G] born to do [G] [Am] Does not [G] need [C/G] you to do it Someone else was [Fmaj7] born to do it [C/G] too
[G] [Am]
Now like A [G] half [C/G] grown man [G] [Am] You barely [G] learn [C/G] how to stand [G] [Am] If you [G] shut up [C/G] with what you’ve chosen You’ll hear [Fmaj7] something choosing [C/G] you
CHORUS [Am] [Fmaj7] [C/G] (w/ *riff) [C/G] Oh I know how good you are How [Am] hard it is [Fmaj7] [C/G] [C/G] How good you are
