Chords

by Belle & Sebastian from the album 'Write About Love' tabbed by drew ([email protected]) lots of catchy synth in this song. the chords i've written out try to follow both the bass and the melody, but in some places it's a toss up whether you want that or not. in either case, i've made it as detailed as i can. as such, it's completely up to you. :) as for the "if you touch me you can never go back" part, it's tricky. i hear a C bass all the way through with only the synth funking it up. you might have luck with an Fmaj7 if you're really not into my attempt. enjoy though, i couldn't believe there wasn't a tab for this amazing song already. super-cute. ------------- CHORDS C x32010 C/B x20010 C/B* x20003 (to get the synth note in) Am7 x02010 G 320003 (try 32001x for bonus points) F 133211 Em 022000 Dm7 xx0211 Dm xx0231 G7 353433 C2 x30010 C3 x33010 Dm7* xx0213 capo 4 -- INTRO C C/B Am7 G F / C C/B* Am7 G F / VERSE 1
