Chords

“Grey Room” by Damien Rice off the Album “9” No capo, standard tuning. Chords: G/D: 332010 C: 133211 Bm: 022000 D: 355433 Notes on strumming: There are lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs in this song. In general: When he plays the C/G chord, he does the hammer-ons and pull-offs with the open D string the E note on the second fret. When he plays the F chord, he does the hammer-ons and pull-offs with the open G string the A note on the second fret. During the verse, right before you change from the F chord back to the C/G, he does a pull-off with the F chord like it's described above. If you want to keep the F bass note on that F chord, you could play it with your thumb I like to do to keep a nice, full sound [plus it's cool to play with your thumb So it goes like this: C/G chord hammer-on:

E|--0-0-----|
B|--1-1-----|

I tried to get the chord placements right with the lyrics, but they might be off a bit, you know how it goes... Intro: G/D C
