Chords
These are the chord shapes I use if I'm just playing the song on my own, and I still want to
give the impression of the low-high octave strikes that ring throughout most of the song.
In fact the vocal melody sounds wrong to me if you just play it as E, A & B as suggested on other tabs,
but it sounds nice with these chords.
With capo at first fret:
E: 022100
Asus2/E: 002200
Bsus/E: 024400
Dsus2/E: 0577x0 or 057700
Then strum it something like this for the verses: E Asus2/E E: ----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---| G: ----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---| B: ----1-1-----1---|----1-1-----1---|----2-2-----2---|----2-2-----2---| D: 2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----| A: 2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----| E: 0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----| Bsus/E Asus2/E E: ----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---| G: ----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---|----0-0-----0---| B: ----4-4-----4---|----4-4-----4---|----2-2-----2---|----2-2-----2---| D: 4-4-----4-4-----|4-4-----4-4-----|2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----| A: 2-2-----2-2-----|2-2-----2-2-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----| E: 0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----0-0-----|
For some parts let the last strike of each bar ring out, for other parts mute it -
if you know the song you'll know what I mean.
For the final part just switch to conventional E, D and A chords.
[Verse 1]
E Drinking in the morning sun Asus2/E Blinking in the morning sun Bsus/E Shaking off the heavy one Asus2/E Heavy like a loaded gun E What made me behave that way? Asus2/E Using words I never say Bsus/E I can only think it must be love Asus2/E E Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day E Someone tell me how I feel Asus2/E It's silly wrong but vivid right Bsus/E Oh, kiss me like the final meal Asus2/E Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight
[Chorus]
E Cause holy cow, I love your eyes Asus2/E And only now I see the light Bsus/E Yeah, lying with you half awake Asus2/E E Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
[Verse 2]
E When my face is chamois-creased Asus2/E If you think I wink, I did Bsus/E Laugh politely at repeats Asus2/E Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin
[Chorus]
E Cause holy cow, I love your eyes Asus2/E And only now I see the light Bsus/E Yeah, lying with me half awake
Stumbling over what to say
Asus2/E E Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
[Outro]
E Dsus2/E So throw those curtains wide! Asus2/E E One day like this a year would see me right E Dsus2/E Throw those curtains wide! Asus2/E E One day like this a year would see me right E D Throw those curtains wide! A E One day like this a year would see me right E D Throw those curtains wide! A E One day like this a year would see me right
