Chords

"FOR YOU" - Split Enz, from their first single 'For You' (1973) Note: this song is originally fingerpicked and if you roughly follow the tab below in a sort of percussive finger style then you can get pretty close to the original, a strange picking pattern with an extra bass thumb note thrown in where you least expect it... that's Phil Judd for you!

  Seen the break of day

[Verse 2]
Dsus2/F#
  Blueboys on the stage

A
  Yes he's quite the rage

                               G
  His parents loved his blue eyes

     B
  He knows where it's at

  People think he's queer

A
  But to be quite fair

  You laugh so easily, but you

  A
  can see what it's like to be

                               G
  They kicked your eyes in at four

            B
  When they shut the door

Dsus2/F#
  Playing out masquerade

A
  Even soldiers on parade

G                                 A(add9) A A(add9)  F(add9) F
