Title: The DJ is Crying for Help
Artist: AJR
Capo: None
The opening melody is typically played on piano. To play it, alternate between F#4 and D4 in your right hand,
then add the bass note in the left hand (for instance, A for D/A, B for Bm, etc.) It changes slightly at
various points to reflect the current chord, so use your ear and the chord symbols to guide these changes.
If you'd like to play the opening melody on guitar, form a standard D chord and alternate picking between the
1st (little e) and 2nd strings.
Em9 and Em7 reflect the piano melody. If you're just strumming chords, you can play Em or Em7 instead.
The N.C. at the end is also reflecting how the band drops, leaving only the piano playing two notes. You could
continue playing the intro melody or simply strum a D chord here too.
