I think I've got it pretty close, although the other guitar(s) in the song may have colored my choice of chord voicings. The strumming should favor the bass strings with the high E not being sounded much at all. Listen to the album for the chord changes. They're pretty self-evident. Capo: 6th fret Chords used: --------E---A---D---G---B---E---------- Em(1) --0---2---2---0---0---x---------- F#m ----x---4---4---0---0---x---------- Gm -----x---5---5---0---0---x---------- Am -----x---7---7---0---0---x---------- Em6 ----x---4---2---0---0---x---------- Cmaj7---x---3---2---0---0---x---------- G ------3---2---0---0---0---x---------- Em7 ----0---2---0---0---0---x---------- Am7 ----x---0---2---0---1---x---------- Em(2) -x---x---2---0---0---x---------- (NOTE: Don't worry too much about the "x"s on the low E string. For most of the chords, that E won't detract.) The intro starts with an easy Em shape right up the fretboard. It's also used during the choruses: Em(1)---F#m---Gm---Am---Em6---Cmaj7--- Then you go into the part that's the second part of the intro and is also used for the verses and the ending: G-------------Em(1)--Em7 (play 4 times in the intro) Verse 1: G-------------Em(1)--Em7 Did I ________away G--------------Em(1)-- I know _______ say Em7-------Am7 You say, ohhhh Am7-------------G You see_______ know Verse 2: G-------------Em(1)--Em7 But I ________this G--------------Em(1)-- I'll always___ out Em7-------Am7 For _____ you Am7-------------G Yeah _________ do Chorus: G---- I say Em(1)---F#m---Gm---Am---Em6---Cmaj7--- yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Cmaj7 -- I say Em(1)---F#m---Gm---Am---Em6---Cmaj7--- yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh G-------------Em(1)--Em7 (play 4 times) Verse 3: G-------------Em(1)--Em7 My heart ____ yours G--------------Em(1)-- It's you _____ hold Em7-------Am7 On- _____ to Am7-----------G Yeah, _______ do Verse 4: G-------------Em(1)--Em7 And I ________wrong G--------------Em(1)-- But I ________ dowwnn Em7-------Am7 _________ oh, no Am7-------------G Yeah _________ will Chorus: G---- I said Em(1)---F#m---Gm---Am---Em6---Cmaj7--- yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Cmaj7 -- I cried Em(1)---F#m---Gm---Am---Em6---Cmaj7------------ oouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttt, yeah I saw G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- Sparks, ____yeah, I saw G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- Sparks, ____yeah, I saw G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- Sparks, ____yeah, I saw G---------Em(1)--Em7 ------ Sparks, _________singing out G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- La-la _________________ G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- La-la _________________ G---------Em(1)--Em7 --- La-la _________________ G-----------------Em(1)--Em7--Em(2)--Em7--G La -- la -- la -- la --- la ---la----la--- I welcome comments or suggestions.
