Chords

I love this song so much, so I put extra effort in this. hehe. BEFORE EACH SECTION OF THE SONG THERE'S AN EXPLANATION ON HOW TO PLAY IT, ONCE YOU'VE MASTERED IT, I'VE ADDED A VERSION WITHOUT THE EXPLANATIONS SO YOU CAN PLAY IT WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP OR JUMP THROUGH SECTIONS. I'm pretty sure the guys don't use a capo but this is simpler with one. *As requested, here's an "example cover" of how this should sound. I did the recording very quick and very uninterested, just as a request lol. Sorry for some mistakes. http://picosong.com/V83y/ * 1ST VERSE (PLUCKING) M = 2x4xxx } My advice is to make power chords shapes, but only pluck N = 3x5xxx } what I noted here. Make an F# shape (2443xx) for M, play what I O = 5x7xxx } noted and slide from there to N, O, P etc. When you get to R, P = 7x9xxx } your finger will be already on place. Q = 6x8xxx } R = xxx7xx } S = 10.12xxxx or x5x7xx } M N O P P Q O All of my life I built this armor M N O P Q R O And every disguise I ever wore M N O P P Q O Ashes and dust I've made an island M N O P Q R S Facing the end, I said "What for?" PRE-CHORUS (FINGERING): } PRE-CHORUS (FINGERING PATTERN): } Change from a Gm shape to A = 5776xx } --------------------- } a Gm7(354333) and just pluck Bm = 7997xx } --------------------- } the A and D strings together to play Gm = 355333 } -G------G-----G------ } the D (LOOK AT THE OUTRO) (PLUCKING FOR D): } ----D-----D-----D---- } D = x54xxx } ------A-----A-------- } } -E------------------- }
