Chords

Artist: Yo La Tengo Album: Fade (release date: January 15, 2013) Song: Paddle Forward All right, I think I pretty much have this down. Most of the song does consist of chords, except for one interlude riff played here and there. Here are all the chords used in the song:
     G   A  Em  F#m  D
|e---3---0---0---2---2---|
|B---3---2---0---2---3---|
|G---0---2---0---2---2---|
|D---0---2---2---4---0---|
|A---2---0---2---4---x---|
|E---3---x---0---2---x---|
Verse 1:
G     A     G     A          Em
SOS,              we've come unmoored

G        A        G        A            Em
Rip ride pulling, pulling away from the shore

Em                F#m     Em            F#m
But we feel safe, inside, not a wave in sight,

Em
Hang on tight, the water's fine
Now the interlude riff is played:
|e--------0---|
|B------------|
|G--2---2-----|
|D------------|
|A------------|
|E------------|
Verse 2:
G        A        G        A    Em
Lock the boat,       we've come unmoored

G           A      G       A    Em
Slipped the cleat, lost at sea, back in the centerboard

Em                F#m      Em              F#m
But we feel safe, for now, as long as time allows,

Em
Hang on tight
Chorus:
G       A                  G       A
        Rushes by too fast,        never seems to last

G       A          D       A      D       A
        Every day, hanging here below the mast

Ship of fools,   we've come unmoored

G        A        G        A            Em
Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore

Em                F#m     Em            F#m
But we feel safe, inside, not a wave in sight,
