NB:
*A possible easy fingering for the chords in the introduction
and interlude is given in the tablature below.
G Gsus 2 G Gmaj7 G
(+A) (+F#)
E-------3------5---------3---------2---------3------------------
B-------0------0---------0---------0---------0------------------
G-------0------0---------0---------0---------0------------------
D-------0------0---------0---------0---------0------------------
A-------2------2---------2---------2---------2------------------
E-------3------3---------3---------3---------3------------------
(Chords are shown above tab).
+++Letters in parentheses indicate the extra note that is added to
the basic G chord to change the sound. A standard fingering of
Gmaj7 can be played instead of the one shown above (this one is
shown as above to emphasise that the chord progression is really
just a G chord with a single changing note each time).
Note that the extra notes added to the G chord are more
appropriate for piano accompaniment, and it can sound unusual
if played on guitar. Playing a G chord on it's own probably works
better for this, if playing on a guitar.
An alternative fingering for Gsus2 is given below (see tab)
Gsus2
E-------3---------
B-------0---------
G-------2---------
D-------0---------
A-------2---------
E-------3---------
Gsus2 = G chord with second note (A) added = G B D A
**Suggested fingerings for the chords indicated by ** are given
in the the tablature below. These chords are brief passing
chords, and hence can be omitted.
C-5 Csus2 Ebsus2
E-------X-----------0---------6---------------------
B-------5-----------3---------6---------------------
G-------5-----------0---------8---------------------
D-------4-----------2---------8---------------------
A-------3-----------3---------6---------------------
E-------X----------(3)-------(6)--------------------
-X indicates a note not to be played.
-numbers in parentheses indicate extra notes that aren't absolutely
necessary, but can be played if desired.
C-5 = C diminished fifth = C E Gb
Csus2 = C chord with second note (D) added = C E G D
Ebsus2 = Eb chord with second note (F) added = Eb Bb F G
+++Note that some of these chords indicated are more appropriate for
piano accompaniment, and can sound unusual if played on guitar.
***Notes indicated such as C/B etc indicate the chord to be
played, followed by the accompanying bass note (in the case
of C/B, a C chord is played with a B bass note). These extra
bass notes don't have to be played, and the chord can be
played on it's own (in this case, just a C chord.). Note that
the D/C chord can also be played as a D7 chord.
****The Bb chord indicated here can be substituted by a Gm or Gm/Bb
chord instead if desired (not applicable for the other Bb
chords used throughout the song).
*****The ending piano notes are given in the tablature below (these
notes are unaccompanied).
