Song: Me
Album : Music for Cars (EP)

Obviously this song is played mostly on a synth, so it's not really a guitar piece.
Doesn't mean we can't
play the same chords though. Its a really beautiful song, and based on the way he treats it
at shows, it
means a lot to Matty. I've tried to respect it by being very careful in its transposition.
If you listen to the song, there are three main musical voices: the bass line, the
droning chord that stays
the same the entire time, and then the melodic synth line. If you play these chords
exactly the way they're
written here, you will cover all three of those. The only thing not covered is the piano
part that enters
later in the song.
D5/G D5/A D5/B D5 D/G

B|--3----3----3----3----3--|
G|--2----2----2----2----2--|

The best way to get the timing down on the chords is to listen to the song a lot, but if
you want to think
about it musically, its 4/4 time, D5/G for 3 beats, D5/A for one beat (passing tone),
D5/B for 4 beats, D5
for two beats, and D/G for two beats.
