Chords

Ok, so this is how i play it, not 100% correct i dont think.

He does this at the beginning i think, its a quick little move, but i think it sounds neat:
|-e----------|
|-b--5\1-1/3-|
|-g--4\0-0/2-|
|-d----------|
|-a----------|
|-e----------|

I guess these are the correct chord names:
 Dsus2*      C6         F*        G
|-e----0--||-e---0---||-e---5---||-e---7---|
|-b----3--||-b---1---||-b---6---||-b---8---|
|-g----2--||-g---0---||-g---5---||-g---7---|
|-d----0--||-d---2---||-d-------||-d-------|
|-a-------||-a---0---||-a-------||-a-------|
|-e-------||-e-------||-e-------||-e-------|

*There is a regular "F" played in the song, F* will notate the one played at the fifth fret *When playing the Dsus4, hammer on and off of the g string at your discretion Listen to the recording to get a sense of the song. There are some other little tricks he does, but this should at least get you started ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Bell Ringing

One Bell Ringing

Flies buzzing round strip search light They've got him down on his knees He thinks of honey dripping from a spoon Girls whispering in Portuguese Between muzzle and the black site Electrical contact Deny your name and then carry the blame Somewhat after the fact One lonely bird is singing Lower the hood hung on that last lament Dash him down on cold cement One Bell Ringing
