This song is in the key of D. The four main chords are D, G, A and Em. There is also a Gm. D: 232002 Em: 000220 (030220 = Em7) G: 330023 (x30023 = alternate emphasis) A: 022200 Gm: 333553 The Em v. Em7 is a tough one to call. If you listen to the background vocals, they clearly descend to note G (the ?3? in the Em7 chord above), but I believe Jon is simply playing an Em and letting the vocals create the dissonance. You can play it either way if you?re singing; play Em7 if you?re not. Unfortunately I don?t know most of the lyrics. But the verses play out in the following way rhythmically: (following an intro, which is simply an A chord:) D D Em A (repeat) For help, I?ll write the chords over one of the lyrics I do know. D Em This jukebox won?t play no Sinatra A D It just curses all night long D Em There?s no easy spoken mantra A D Put me back where I belong Then, the ?chorus? is played like this: (all single strum once first Gm is played) D Em (Oh Shangri La, why can?t I find you A D and your faded promises) Gm D I?ve seen it in your eyes Gm D A G A wanted man?s disguise, and a million bad highs Gm D Gm D The lights had all gone red, the 4 am dread Gm D A G A D Then you make sense like the star that you are, oh Shangri La Then back to the verse (D D Em A), then chorus once more (Gm D). Following the second chorus: D Em G A (D) Oh Shangri La D Em G A D Em G A D Oh Shangri Laaaaaaaaaaaaa Then finally, there?s the intro to the last minute and a half: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----10----------12-------14-------15-----------17---------19--19---17-----20--| |-------------------------------------------------------------------18-----18--| |-/11------11/12----12/14----14/16--------16/17------17/19----------17-----17--| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D Em A D Ohhhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohohhhhhhhh etc.
