Chords

Hello guys. This is my chord arrangement for Perfect Time by Edward Sharpe. It may seem quite complicated at first glance, but most of the weird chords (Gmadd9/f# etc) are actually quite simple and come naturally when playing the song. WEIRD CHORDS USED:
The chorus chords are played like this:           and in the outro (just 2 frets higher):
 Gm      Gmadd9/f#   Bb/f                       Am    Amadd9/g#  C/g
--3--------5--------6----------------------------5--------7-------8-----------------------------------------|
--3--------3--------3----------------------------5--------5-------5-----------------------------------------|
--3--------3--------3----------------------------5--------5-------5-----------------------------------------|
--5--------4--------3----------------------------7--------6-------5-----------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I play the chorus like this (it's easier on guitar), but you can
use the "full" chords as well if you want to:
  F   Am/e  Dm
--1----0-----1------------------------------|
--2----1-----3------------------------------|
--3----2-----2------------------------------|
--3----2-----0------------------------------|

F         Am         Gm          C
What is a cold blooded mad man to do

         F               Am           Gm           C
With a smile across his teeth and attached full of goo

        Dm              Am      Bb          F
