Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Wolfey89 Email: [email protected] [Intro] The intro is a little confusing, if you want to get it right. The chords are basically... E Cmaj7 Asus2 You can play this and still sound good. But if you want to be perfect, then you should know that the guitarist also, after the Asus2, plays all open strings once, and an Em chord once, then repeats the whole thing. The second time he does this, he doesn't play the Em chord, and just goes right to E. This is kind of what it looks like. Listen to the song to get the rhythm perfectly. (* the v^v is to show downstrokes and upstrokes, if you were to continually move your hand up and down,even when not playing a note. I use it as a timing measurement.)
  E                Cmaj7   Asus2  Em
e|0---0-00-00-0000|00000000-0000000|
B|0---0-00-00-0000|00000000-0000000|
G|1---1-11-11-1111|00000000-2222000| then repeat, with a few subtle changes.
D|2---2-22-22-2222|22222222-2222002|
A|2---2-22-22-2222|33333333-0000002|
E|0---0-00-00-0000|00000000-0000000|
* v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Please note: I left an open E string in the bass for the whole time because it is actually there. It's not a typo. This is reflected in the chords below as well. That's also the guitar part for most of the whole song. Here's the rest of the song:
E                             Cmaj7    Asus2
 My name is Leslie Anne Levine

E                            Cmaj7    Asus2
 My mother birthed me down a dry ravine

E                      Cmaj7     Asus2
 My mother birthed me far too soon

E                         B     Asus2
 Born at nine and dead at noon

A                                             C#m
  Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet

     C#m              A
And shake my rattle bone

A                                             C#m
 Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats

       C         B         E
Of the girl who died with me
E Cmaj7 Asus2 E Cmaj7 Asus2
E                            Cmaj7    Asus2
 On the roofs above the streets

E                              Cmaj7          Asus2
  The only love I've known's a chimney sweep

E                Cmaj7    Asus2
 Lost and lodged inside a flue

E           B     Asus2
 Back in 1842

A                                                C#m
 Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs

    C#m               A
And curse my mother's name

A                                           C#m
 Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mes-allied

    C            B       E
Has brought this fate on me
E Cmaj7 Asus2 E Cmaj7 Asus2
E                            Cmaj7    Asus2
 My name is Leslie Anne Levine

E                    Cmaj7         Asus2
 I've no one left to mourn for me

E                Cmaj7    Asus2
 My body lies inside its grave

E                    B    Asus2
 In a ditch not far away

A                                            C#m
 Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet

    C#m              A
And shake my rattle bone

A                                              C#m
  Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats

    C            B       E
Of the girl who died with me
