Notes:
*the whole song should be played at a slow-medium tempo -- take your time and enjoy the song.
*the introduction is highly stylized. tom puts lots of little fills between chord
sequences. try some!
*tom plays a lick during the intro and several times in the song between chords Am
G and F that looks something like this:
Am G F
e|------------|
B|----------1-|
G|---2--0--2--|
D|--2--2--3---|
A|-0----------|
E|----3--1----|
basically it's just a walk down from the A to the F. not super difficult. kind of quick.
maybe finger pick it?
*the second verse is played as follows:
C/ (x32010@1)/ C/B/ (x2555x@1)/ Am7/ (x02010@1)/ G/ (320003@1)/ F/ (133211@1)/ G#/ (xx1114@1)/ C/ (x32010@1)/ G|--------------------------------------------------| (320003@1)|-1-----1-------1-------------1-----4------5-----3-|
|-0-----0-------0------0------2-----5------5-----4-|
|-2-----0------(2)-----0------3-----6------5-----5-|
|-3-----2-------0------2------3-----6------3-----5-|
|----------------------3------1-----4------3-----3-|
protip: add some panache. strum these chords with confidence and rhythm.
*the end is played kind of like this:
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) (rit.)
|------------------|
|----------------1-|
|----0----------0--|
|---2-----0----2---|
|-3------2---3-----|
|------3-----------|
again just kind of a little walk uphill. not fast. take yr time. or change the end to
suit yr own playing skill/style!
