___________________________ / Antony and the Johnsons / Another beautiful pearl from Antony! / Man Is the baby / / I Am a Bird Now / /__________________________/ Verse: Key: G minor What is played here is these chords with the melody incorporated. Play it very freely, which creates this freely expressionistic sound. The root notes of the first Ebmaj7s are very low. | Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 | Gm9 | | Ebmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | Bbmaj7 | Gm9 | Chorus: (notice the bass staying on G in the first line) | F/G | Eb/G | Dm/G | Gm | | F | Eb | Dm | Gsus2 | Gsus2 | Verse Chorus: Now the symphony is seriously playing in, and extending the chords. If you want, you can extend the chords to this: | F6 | Ebmaj9 | Dm7 | Gm9 | | F6 | Ebmaj9 | Dm7 | Gsus4 | Strings interlude: Wonderful arrangement, but it doesn't really fit into a guitar tab, so I transcribed it into Guitar Pro instead.
