MAIN CHORD PROGRESSION:
[ F# / A / B / F# ]
It's basically these chords the entire song (except
before the first chorus where you use [C#])...
And here is the lead guitar riff. I can't really tell
if the end of the riff uses pulls or bends. You be the
judge:
F# A B F#
e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------6-----9-8-6-----------9-8-6-----6---------------------|
D|8-----9---------------9---9---9-------9-----9-8---9p8h9p8h9p8h9-|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------|
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Here are the chords with the lyrics. Remember that the [C#]
is only played once before the first chorus and never again.
VERSE:
F# A B F#
With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chest,
(F#) A B F#
She put her head on my head and with teary eyes she said.
(F#) A B F#
Precious time we have together
(F#) A B F# C#~~~~
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I was gone.
CHORUS:
F# A B F#
And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser,
(F#) A B F#
It makes me stronger, makes me wiser.
It's a breeze from here on out. Just stick to the main
chord pregression and remember the pauses.
