Chords

Cmb6 x 3 1 1 x x C6 x 3 2 2 x x In the 'chorus' bit of stratosphere blues he slides a root 3rd Bb to C and then down to F, on the 6th and 5th strings. he's playing a 12 string in some alternate tuning for stratospere blues, but that's kinda lame for trying to play the whole song one one guitar.... soooo..... Someone made a nice tab of the intro to 'i believe in you,' shows the arpeggiated figure, I'm just calling it 'G'. [Intro] | Cmb6 | C6 | (x2) [Stratosphere Blues] Cm(b6) C6 Every time I see the sun, Cmb6 C It’s like my life has just begun, like my life has just begun. Cmb6 C6 Every time I hear your voice, Cmb6 C6 It leaves me with no other choice, leaves me with no other choice. Cmb6 C6 And if you leave me for the moon, Cmb6 C Another day is coming soon, another day is coming soon.
Bb C  F
         When the wind comes sailing through,

Bb C  F
         And the sky comes down so blue,

Bb C  F                                    Bb C  F
         Will your will to love me still remain?
Cmb6 C6 Every time I see the sun, Cmb6 C It’s like my life has just begun, like my life has just begun. Cmb6 C6 Every time I hear your voice, Cmb6 C6 It leaves me with no other choice, leaves me with no other choice. [Re-Intro] | G | (x4) [Verse 1]
G
Couldn’t help but wonder why you threw yourself away,

G
Come on out from under, just take it day by day.

   Am     C/G   D7/F#
It’s true,

Fmaj7          G
  I believe in you.

G
I took a walk to wander and then wandered on a thought,

G
It’s kind of hard to get through all the things we ain’t been taught.

   Am     C/G   D7/F#
It’s true,

Fmaj7            G
But I believe in you.

  Am    C/G   D7/F#
Ooooh, ooh,

Fmaj7           G
   I believe in you.
[Chorus]
Bm              C              G
  After all the tears and dedication,

Em             C                G
  Sure I could cut you a little slack.

Bm            C                    G
  Long as you live, I’m sorry to tell you,

Em               C                G
  Never get that monkey off your back.
[Interlude] G [Verse 2]
G
I never even listened when you said you couldn’t breathe,

G
How the water glistens when you’re sinking underneath.

  Am       C/G   D7/F#
It’s true,

Fmaj7           G
But I’m sinking too.

G
I could be the anchor when you’re drifiting out to sea,

G
And I’d take your hand if you’d just hold it out for me.

  Am       C/G  D7/F#
It’s true,

Fmaj7                G
I’m reaching out for you.

  Am    C/G   D7/F#
Ooooh, ooh,

Fmaj7           G
And I believe in you.
[Chorus]
Bm              C             G
  After all the years of medication,

Em              C               G
  Feels good to get your life on track.

Bm            C                 G
  Long as you live I’m sorry to tell you,

Em                      C                G
  You’ll never get that monkey off your back.

Em               C                G
  Never get that monkey off your back.
[Outro] G
