Chords
(Loughnane)
For the intro, I strum the first six chords once and then make-up my own kind of rhythm.
Also, sliding up the fretboard from Am and A#m a little sounds like the recording.
It would help to play all of the chords using barre chords, and a wah-wah pedal is needed.
Intro: Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Gm9
Bbm Cm Am9
|Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | |
|Fmaj7 | |B9 |C9 |F#m9 Gmaj7| |F#m9 Gmaj7| |
|F#maj7 | | F#maj7 Gmaj7|Amaj7
For the verses, I play a strumming pattern of:
w w x w u x u u x w u w with w(down), u(up), and x(muted)
Verse 1:
Amaj7 C#m7 Bm7 The feeling was clear, clear as a blue sky on a sunny day G#m7 C#9 Everything was you, oo ooo Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 'Cause no one made me feel, the way I felt with you, oh oohh C9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Call on me 'cause I love you F#m7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Gmaj7 F#maj7 You know I do, you love me too. oo ooo oooo
For verse 2, the strumming pattern stays the same, but for the first D chord, I play:
w u w u w x w x w x (twice)
Verse 2:
F#maj7 Gmaj7 Amaj7 C#m7 Bm7 Then came a change, when I said I would soon be leavin' you G#m7 C#9 Nothing else to do, oooh Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 But please remember I'll never lose the thought of you C9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Call on me 'cause I love you F#m7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Gmaj7 F#maj7 You know I do, you love me too. oo ooo oooo
I ad-lib on rhythm for the instrumental. It's difficult to hear the guitar
over the brass and percussion anyways.
F#maj7
Woa wo wo wo wo wo wo|Bm7 | |Amaj7 | |
