Chords

All chords have various alterations and bass notes. Feel free to use this as base for your transcriptions. [Intro] C5 out of time sitar improv Main Theme: Ab Eb Bb x2 [Verse 1]
Ab       Eb   Bb
I'm on a rock somewhere, It's the only one I

Ab          Eb      Gm
know, and I know it well

Ab             Eb          Bb
And somehow I know you're there
And I'm waitin' on the
Ab  Eb  Bb
world
Verse 2: Arpeggios start and chords change
Ab              Cm         Gm
I'm ringing the old church bell
I've forgotten how it
Ab          Cm         Gm
goes, but it feels like Hell.

Ab                Cm       Gm
I guess you're in Heaven now
And you're never comin'
Ab Cm Gm
home
[Chorus]
       Ab          Cm             Gm
'Cause even when I'm wide awake, I know

     Ab                 Cm         Gm
That you've been havin' other dreams for sure

   Ab             Cm            Gm
If nothing's ever gonna change at all
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world, Go
Intro again: With singing improv Ab Eb Bb x2 [Verse 3]
Ab          Cm     Gm
Conditional words, I swear
See the people come and
Ab           Cm     Gm
go, and they go so well

Ab                Cm         Gm
They countin' the coins back there
It's the only thing they
Ab Cm Gm
know

    Ab               Cm              Gm
And even when you're down and out, I know

     Ab              Cm               Gm
That you'll be up in higher ground for sure

   Ab             Cm              Gm
If nothing's ever gonna change at all
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world, Go
[Interlude] C5 with vocal improv (C Mixolydian Works Here) [Verse 4]
Ab       Cm    Gm
I'm on a rock somewhere
And I've been lookin' at my
Ab           Cm      Gm
phone, baby, I'm not scared

Ab          Cm        Gm
I guess I'm alone, my friend
You left me waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I originally thought most of this should be Ab Eb and Bb but you can hear the synth outlining these chords instead. It's likely that both chords are being used at the same time, but you can substitute most chords for their major/minor partners and it still works. Happy practicing!
