Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Jon Anderson/Chris Squire From: "Tormato" (1978) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F#m in the verses might as well be a major chord - Anderson, at least, sometimes sings something sounding like the major third. Something in the instrumental track, on the other hand, suggests a minor third without really coming forward with it. With the absence of the lead vocals in both instrumental verses the F# seems to be more minor than major.
