**THIS IS THE BETTER VERSION OF THE TWO I SUBMITTED**
Subject: Chords: "It's Not Me" by Supergrass
From the Album In it for the Money
I've always loved this chord-rich song, and def compliments to the tab done by Frederic Maquet
way back when (especially the schwowom;), but when I heard the third chord in particular, I
felt there was a straight up 7th missing in there instead of the Dmaj7. I'm figuring this out
on a piano, so I'm also adding some bass notes to some chords to root them more in the very
expressive original version. So this is a variation on Maquet's guitar tab figured out on a
piano in case anyone wants to add the keyboard dimension that the song originally had.
Intro: (play slowly)
------
F#m7 F#m6/B D7/A F#7sus4/G#
(the bass note starts on F#, then as it goes to F#m6/B it first hits A then B, then drops to A
during the D7 chord, then drops another half note to ground the F#7sus4,
on the second pass, the D7 is grounded in a higher D bass and drops a half
note to C#)
Verse 1:
-------
F#m7 F#m6/B D7/A F#7sus4/G#
Over their heads, I find a place to crawl away.
F#m7 F#m6/B D7/D F#7sus4/C#
So many times, I hear the things they use to say.
G# C#11/C# (with added "schwowwom" effect- thnx Frederic Maquet)
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
--------
Into the night, the conversation fades away.
Losing the drift, of all the things I have to say.
G# C#11/C#
(I play the C#11 chord with these notes: B C# D# F# G# rooted over a C#)
Chorus:
-------
F#2 A6
It's not me, no, no, not me.
F#2 Asus2/D
But I don't know what is.
F#2 A6
I try and find my piece of mind.
F#2 Asus2/D
But I know what I'll miss.
(F#2 just add a G# to the major chord, Asus2 can be played as DEAB/D)
Bridge:
-------
G# C#11/C#
Now it's gone. Now it's gone. Now it's gone.
F#2 A6 G# C#11/C#
As everyone listens, my head turns away.
F#2 A6 G# C#11/C#
I know what I'm missing. But nothing is saaaaid
Chorus (x2)
-----------
F#2 F#7sus4
But I know what I'll miss
Quick succession:
