Chords

Tricky fingerpicking: To get the feeling try playing the D chord and alternate the way you play the last string between the 2nd fret (as in a D) and the open string (D9). Do the same with the GM7 chord (alternate on the little string between the second fret and the open string). I fingerpick the whole song and it sounds ok. For the D: easy to play for everybody... 1 E: 2 (alternate with open string (e)) 2 B: 3 3 G: 2 4 D: 0 5 A: 0 6 E: X For the GM7: hard to play for beginners... 1 E: 2 (alternate with open string (e)) 2 B: 0 3 G: 0 4 D: 0 5 A: 2 6 E: 3 Skyway (The Replacements) [intro] D GM7 D GM7
               D
You take the Skyway

GM7                         D
High above the busy little one way

         GM7                            Em
In my stupid hat and gloves at night a lie awake

                     A7
Wonderin' if I'll sleep

  Em                                A7
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

              D
To take the Skyway

GM7                           D
It don't move at all like a subway

          GM7                          Em
It's got bums when it's cold, like any other place

                A7
It's warm up inside

  Em                            A7
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride

               GM7
Beneath the Skyway

          D
Oh then one day

  G                                 D
I saw you walkin' down that little one way

 GM7                                  D
Where the place I catch my ride most everyday

                 Em                      A7
They weren't a damn thing I could do or say

               GM7      D
Up in the Skyway
