Feist - "Inside And Out" from the album Let It Die
===================================================
*Chords for solo guitar, with thoughts on chord voicings*
This is meant to be a transcription of the album version in 4/4 time, 
super cool 70s drum beat, etc, not the waltzy acoustic live version, 
though arranged with an acoustic guitar in mind.

----Verse 1-----
Am11/E

Am11/E
  Too many lovers in one life time ain't good for you

I ain't no vision, I'm the girl who

Dm7 Em7 Am7 (barre chords here, "jazz" Am7 [no fifth above root])

Thoughts on the chords:
--------------------------

****
Am11/E   *      I'm calling this Am11 even though there's no 7th, because
 0       X      it's the best I could reason. Use that second "chord" as the
 1       3      alternating melody line in the intro. Obviously add in the
 2       2      A-C-D bass line at the appropriate place.

Cmaj7    I think it's nicer to leave the E on the A string out for this,
 0       make it less muddy and helps emphasize the major 7th because...->

 X      (use a different voicing [shown later] for chorus Cmaj7)

****
 C7     ->...you almost want that Cmaj7 to sound like the B is on top to
 0      make smooth voice leading from the B to the Bb. The piano REALLY
 1      emphasizes that Bb in the second verse (see C7!) 
 3

****
 A7     If you decide to use the 7th in the first verse, I suggest this
 0      voicing. In the second verse (A7!), it sounds more like the G
 2      should be on top (3rd fret, high e string). The piano actually
(2)     leads it like so: G E C#. Pull off the G on the e string to an 
 2      open e, then emphasize the C# on the 2nd fret, B string.

****
Dm7     I think this barre chord voicing works nicely. Use the high A at
(5)     the end of the second verse (before the chorus) and during the
 6      chorus.

 G7     Fairly standard voicing, might want to come up with something
 1      different. What I really can't decide is the G6 that comes next,
 0      or whether it's a G6 at all. Let up on the 7th (F, 1st fret,
 0      high e string) and see what you think. The "6" (which is the E)
 0      is emphasized in the vocal anyway.

****
A7b9   Edim/A  These two are actually the same chord just voiced
 6       3     differently (because of the relationship of the notes
 5       2     in a full diminished chord) but I'll name them separate
 6       3     for clarity. Make sure to voice the melody on top of the
 5       2     the chord on the guitar (Bb, A, G, F). Do this as you see
 0       0     fit with the A7 and the Dm in that descending sequence.
(5)     (5)    Keep that steady 8th note bass line with the open A.

****
 G^     Just a nice higher voicing for the pre-chorus line and chorus.
 7      Keeps the B on top of the chord. Obviously just add a low open E
 8      for the G^/E. You might also look at this chord as an Em7, and
 7      you might also try an Em9 (add an F# on top, 7th fret B string).

Am7 (x02010@1)5      Typical jazz minor 7th voicing. Bar your ring finger across
 5      the top four strings, middle finger on the low string.

Fmaj7/G  Might also be called Gmaj13, probably easier to think of it
(0)      as Fmaj7/G though. In all honesty, not sure about this chord.

Cmaj7*   Another typical maj7 voicing but I think any maj7 will

Cm7     So here it almost sounds appropriate just to alternate between
 X      the notes. Let them ring. Choose the position to play it on. 
 X      Same pattern for that bass line "walk": A, Bb, B, C.

 F  F7/Eb Dm 
 X  X     X       Basically walk the bass down for this.
 6  6     6       Might be interesting on the fourth measure to make
 5  5     5       the Dm a half diminished (Ab instead of A in the
 7  7     7       chord), though maybe not authentic.
