Chords
This chord chart is an approximation of the bass, vocal, and guitar parts, giving the
chords that they make all together rather than any individual instrument, ideal for
playing this song on a solo acoustic guitar, or a quick cheat sheet for a band leader.
The verses are in Dm, with the vocals occasionally hitting a #7/C#, I believe.
The verse chords are a little unusual, so stick to the suggested fingering below
instead of the UG pop-ups, but they should be the same. Listen to the recording
for the bass walks, especially on the Dm up to Dm/F.
The chorus modulates to D major through the A major -> G progression leading up to
the chorus. Play all chorus chords the standard way the pop-ups suggest, except G,
which should be played with a D on the 3rd fret of the B string, like the recording.
Listen to the recording for the little embellishments over the chords, especially D,
where there's a guitar riff that goes up and down the high E string that's too bulky
for a chord chart, but easy to pick up by ear. Enjoy!
