Original key is D-Minor, but it's played with standard open chords with capo 5. The song is very easy to play. Only tricky thing is the rhythm. It's a Johnny Cashish polka style beat. There is a lot of muting going on in the verse, but chorus is played open. All is played with pick. Listen to the song to get it right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FcmcI6BvQQ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro/ReIntro Riff Am C G Am e|-----0--3--0---|-----0--3--0----|-----0--3--0----|-----0----0--| B|-----1------1--|-----1------1---|-----0------0---|-----1----1--| G|-----2-------2-|-----0-------0--|-----0-------0--|-----2----2--| D|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------| A|--0------------|--3-------------|----------------|--0----------| E|---------------|----------------|--3-------------|-------------| Verse Style (lots of muted strings to get the rhythm pumped): Am C G Am 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 + 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 + 4 e|----x-----x---|-----x-----x-x--|-----x------x---|-----x-----x-x--|--| B|----x-----x---|-----x-----x-x--|-----x------x---|--- -x-----x-x--|--| G|----2-----2---|-----0-----0-0--|-----0------0---|-----2-----2-2--|--| D|----2-----2---|-----2-----2-2--|-----0------0---|-----2-----2-2--|--| A|-0-----0------|--3-----3-------|-----x------x---|--0------0------|--| E|--------------|----------------|--3------3------|----------------|--| D D D D D D D U D D D D D D D D U D (strum pattern) Chorus Stlye (strummed, let ring) Fj7 1 2 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 + 4 + e|-------0-----0---0--|------0-------0-----0--|-----0----0---0--|----0----0---0---| B|-------1-----1---1--|------1-------1--1--1--|-----1----1---1--|----1----1---1---| G|-------2-----2-2-2--|------2-------2--2--2--|-----2----2-2-2--|----2----2-2-2---| D|--3---(3)----3-3-3--|--3-----------3--3--3--|--2---------2----|-2---------2-----| A|--3------------3----|--3--------------3-----|--0---------0----|-0---------0-----| E|--------------------|-----------------------|-----------------|-----------------| D D U D U D D U D U D D U D U D D U D U (strum pattern) ************************************ | D down stroke | U up stroke ************************************ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Young Chinese Dogs - Sweet Little Lies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Tuning.
