SONG TITLE: I'm Nuthin' ARTIST/GROUP: Ethan Hawke ALBUM: Reality Bites Soundtrack CHORDS: ------- EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE A (x0222x) Eb* (xx1202) Dsus2 (xx0230) A* (x0423x) Esus4 (022200) Em (022000) E (022100) F#m (244222) G (320033) D (xx0232) Bm (x24432) G* (320030) Asus2 (x02200) Bsus2 (x24422) This song was played in the movie Reality Bites and it was the actor Ethan Hawke who sang it. I really like this song. But in the movie he just plays VERSE 1 and then the CHORUS/OUTRO. The first chorus, which was not played in the movie, has totally different chords than the CHORUS/OUTRO. Enjoy! When you're playing the A chord, most of the time you should play it like this:
    A         A*          A          A*   A
E|--------------------------------------------|
B|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|
G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|
D|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|
A|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|
E|--------------------------------------------|
It's played like that in all the verses and the intro. The only comfortable way to play this is to use your index finger to play the A chord, then when you play the A* you can just hammer on the D and B strings with your middle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does. When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just means play the D chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit. A lot of times he plays A and then throws in a Asus2 for instance. OK, then you should be ready to play the song. INTRO: [play like tab above] ------ A VERSE 1: [remember, play A chords like tab above] --------
