--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paddy McAloon From: "Crimson/Red" (2013) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Capo 4th fret Play: C Kay: E For chords in original key, transpose +4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS There are different ways of playing this chord I call “Fsus2/A”. I think I hear different voicings in verse and chorus (as pointed out below). But it is of course not necessary to play these variations, I just think it sounds nice. You may as well just take the first voicing and use it throughout the song. One can even use it to substitute the “Fmaj9” in the chorus. They’re all really close.
