Staralfur - Sigur Ros


Most of this was worked out using
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn8j4LxQAMQ
although the song order is different to the cd.
Just to confuse you I've kept the original order.
Also the video is in E and not the half note up on the cd.

*this version is intended to be an acoustic version really but I've added some other bits too.

Pre-Intro:

violins start with:

E--12---------|--14----------------|          x2
B--14---------|--15----------------|
G-(14)--------|-(14)---------------|
D-(14)--------|--12----------------|
A--12---------|--------------------|

These are also the verse chords but you can just play A and D basically.

Then for the intro you could play

-0----5----3----2--|-2----2----9---10------|
-2-----------------|-3---------------------|
-2-----------------|-2---------------------|
-2-----------------|-0---------------------|
-0-----------------|-----------------------|
-x-----------------|-----------------------|

or on an acoustic this sounds really good:

| A| (x02220@1)A7A7add11 (x02020@1)|              (A7add 11  =   x02022)

| D | Dmaj7 D |


Piano bit that goes on top:

    A|e--------17-------17-------|--------------17----------| (x02220@1)|B--14-------14-------14----|-14----14--------14----14-|
|G-(2)-14-------14-------14-|----14----14--------14----|
|D-(2)----------------------|--------------------------|
|A--0-----------------------|--------------------------|
|E--------------------------|--------------------------|

    D|e--------17-------17-------|--------------17----------| (xx0232@1)|B--15-------15-------15----|-15----15--------15----15-|
|G-(2)-14-------14-------14-|----14----14--------14----|
|D--0-----------------------|--------------------------|
|A--------------------------|--------------------------|
|E--------------------------|--------------------------|

eins og alla veggina         then Dsus2, D, Dsus4 quickly before
                             the instrumental to mimic the orchestra
The instrumental interplay:

| A | Asus2 A | D | D/C# | Bm | 
| G | D/F# | A |

| A7 | D | D Dsus4 D | 
| D/C# |

Then the orchestra plays the refrain chords, followed by

| DG/D D| (xx0232@1)G| (320003@1)G| (320003@1)GD 
| D | A7 |  D/F# | x2      (actual bar timing
                                                      abit (x02210@1)sketchy)
Then

   G/F#**    G (320003@1)     G/F#ur (320002@1)sta? - -  sjalfur
G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)    staralfur

Notes:
For acoustics sake: C#dim- x4535x (he plays the C# bass while the orchestra plays the remainder)
I use 3x0003 for G
G/D chord at the end is xx0033
G/F#   2x0033
