Chords
This is based on the official tab but arranged for solo performance.
I had to get creative naming the chords I use in the verse. They're not even real chords, but it was
the best way to keep the droning sound alive with one acoustic guitar. Feel free to play with these
until you get the sound you want.
E5/G x 7 9 0 x x C x 3 2 0 1 0 -or- x 3 5 5 5 3 [You can use either open or
Eb5/G x 6 8 0 x x G 3 2 0 0 3 3 -or- 3 5 5 4 3 3 barre chords; both sound good. I
D5/G x 5 7 0 x x F x x 3 2 1 1 -or- 1 3 3 2 1 1 use open chords but use what you
C#5/G x 4 6 0 x x Am x 0 2 2 1 0 -or- 5 7 7 5 5 5 like best. Makes no difference.]
C5/G x 3 5 0 x x D x x 0 2 3 2 -or- x 5 7 7 7 5
C3+5 x 3 2 0 x x
At the end of the verses, the C3+5 is really just the lowest three strings of the
open C chord. As you play through the last line, segue into the full C chord the same way you would build
from a palm-mute when you're plugged in.
The parts that are tabbed aren't anything official, either (but they're based on the official tab). They're
adaptations I like to use for fun. Modify them to suit your tastes.
