Alright this amazing, beautiful song was originally released on Nathaniel's debut album
known as The Wheel - Desire and Dissolving Men, but since he no longer performs as such,
and still plays the song live, I'll put it here.
Artist: The Wheel
Song: Solomon
Album: Desire and Dissolving Men
Chords used:
Em7 [-0-] Cadd9? [-0-] G? [-0--] [-3-] [-3-] [-3-----------------------------] [-0-] [-0-] [-0-----------------------------] I'm not sure of these chord names, [-2-] [-2-] [-0-----------------------------] but the shapes are correct. [-2-] [-3-] [-2-----------------------------] [-0-] [-0-] [-3-----------------------------]
This has a typical Nathaniel strum pattern.
Using the thumb, on the down strokes of the bass notes,
and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger.
D D U D UU D UU DD UU D UU D UU [------------------------------------] [------3----3----3------3----3----3--] [-------0----0----0------0----0----0-] This is pretty close for the verse [---------------------2--------------] but I don't feel the strumming is as [----2----2----2----3-3----3----3----] important, because the song is like [--0-0----0----0----0------0----0----] 85% vocals.
Em7 Cadd9
Verse 1: (not a 100% percent on lyrics)
Em7 Cadd9 I want to be the drum (drug?), that slows me down Em7 Cadd9 I want to care to not, break through Em7 Cadd9 I want to have no sense, or meaning Em7 Cadd9 I want to start myself, anew (on you?)
Chorus: (strumming opens up a little more)
G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life Em7 Cadd9 A good life
Em7 Cadd9
Em7 Cadd9 I want a piece that glimmers, to show them all Em7 Cadd9 I want to be delivered, from you Em7 Cadd9 I want to smile but got, no reason now Em7 Cadd9 I want way to bench, the truth G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life Em7 Cadd9 A good life
Em7 Cadd9
Em7
That's it. Pretty close anyway,
the picking is a little more intricate than this,
but you get the jist anyway.
