Chords

As always, Cardiacs song structure is generally mindbending and really difficult to tab up or chord-up as i have tried here. I am pretty sure what i have done is accurate, but the piece with the little girl singing " I will tear the secret..." etc might not be 100% but seems to fit quite well. Please, if you find out the exact chords for this, update this as you wish :) I tried my best to sit the chord changes exactly over the part of the word that Tim sings at that moment, to help, but sometimes the webpage will re-arrange everything and sit chords willy-nilly over the top of the text, so i hope it's as i wrote ! The chords at the end of each verse, sound better if used as a part-chord shape, as it were. G(E3,A2,D0) - G/F#(E2,A2,D0) - E(E0,A2,D2,G1) Have fun, should be easy to play through this one :) intro chords A, G, C, A, E, C, A, G, C, A, E, C
