Father John Misty - Generic Pop Song #3
This is a piano backed song so I didn't bother with a strum pattern. Listen to the song
here to get an idea of the rhythm (and the timing of the "oh's"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRkBEDmaqk
The original song is in the key of F so the chords are written out as such (standard tuning).
If you want easier chord fingerings then hit the transpose button to -5 and put a capo on 5 (making
the chords in "C".
Alternatively if you've been playing other FJM songs in Josh's typical tuning (DGCFAD) then transpose to +2
and play it open.
Note: The Em7b5 chord may also just be Em(b5). Here's a couple variations that work:
