Chords
From "Humans"(1980)
This song uses Bruce's "Drop F#" tuning,
standard except the G-string is dropped to F#:EADF#BE.
Except for the bridge, it'is mostly an E to A groove over the riff below.
While I've charted it as if the vocal melody always starts right
on the E chord, in most lines there's an eighth-note rest beween chord and vocal.
Chord shapes in EADF#BE tuning:
Esus2: 022000
Amaj7: 0022xx
Asus2: 5x7700
Bsus4: 7x9900
G#m/E: 466600
F#m/E: 244300
E5: 022xxx
