Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Charles Aznavour/Herbert Kretzmer Released in 1974 Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard A transcription of the studio version (link below). I came across a live version recently that has a different chord in the first verse: the F over the word "things" is a D/F# there. Sounds beautiful, too. There is another ambiguous part in the Middle 8, because the orchestra leads from the C chord to the D (line 5 of the Middle 8). This melody includes a short "Ab" turning the C chord into an augmented chord. I included this very subtle change in square brackets as an option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nxaZMreym88 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 1st fret play: C key: C# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
