Harro :D. Hi, My name is Jeff and I am 15 years old. I have recently found out that David Choi released a new album called 'Forever and Ever'. its been over a month since the album came out and i found out that it was released just yesterday... (fail) ^^" ANYWAYS, My favorite song (out of the whole album) was 'This and That is Life' and I felt like I HAD to learn how to play it, but nobody posted the chords for it online yet! So then, I watched a couple of videos on youtube where David played the song live and learned the chords (but they're not perfect and I left a few out that I couldn't get... including the bridge... :P). This is my first chord/tab thingy I'm posting so please, even if I get a lot of things wrong, no rude comments? :D THANK YOU and enjoy xD. Youtube Video used to figure out the chords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfBiOX_7J1k AND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-UttjBYryI&feature=related WARNING: 1) THIS IS MY FIRST TAB/CHORD SO I WILL GET A FEW CHORDS WRONG 2) I LEFT OUT A FEW CHORDS I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT 3) I LEFT OUT THE BRIDGE BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT T^T 4) All the chords of the song are jazz chords (i think) so be aware, they are hard to play at first, but just practice and you'll get it :D (and if they're not hard for you to play, "dang... you'r good..") TIPS: 1) The song has a jazz feeling, and jazz is a genre you tend to improvise and play around with (which also means having fun with, which is the reason it is my favorite genre), and that is what you should do with this song :D 2) The strumming is all the same except the 'pre-chorus' and the 'bridge' (which I still haven't figured out ._.). You strum down once and you palm mute it immediately. Repeat that (only the 'down-strum') throughout the intro, verse, chorus, etc. The 'pre-chorus' and the 'bridge' are harder to describe so my suggestion is to listen to the song and try the rhythm, and improvise if you can't get it (like how I did xD). Please send any corrections you find so I can fix it for other people too @ 'woongjae159@gmail.com' Tuning: Standard CHORDS USED Am7 Dm9 Bm7 Em9 Cm7 e|---------------------------------------------------| B|-----5---------5---------7---------7---------9-----| G|-----5---------5---------7---------7---------9-----| D|-----5---------4---------7---------6---------9-----| A|---------------5-------------------7---------------| E|-----5-------------------7-------------------9-----| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS AND THAT IS LIFE by DAVID CHOI ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO- Am7, Dm9, Bm7, Em9 (x2) VERSE 1: Am7 Its a Monday and theres so much to do Dm9 You gotta wake up soon cuz its already noon Bm7 Em9 Oooooo Oooooo Am7 Ya know its something special when you roll out of bed Dm9 And then you realize life is not over yet Bm7 Em9 Oooooo Oooooo PRE-CHORUS: Am7 Lets get it together Cm7 Yeah it happens again Bm7 But it doesnt matter Em9 Cuz its not the end Am7 We got time to improve Cm7 Time can renew Bm7 I dont know why Em9 But I wanna cry Am7 Dm9 Cuz this, and that, is life CHORUS: Am7 Dm9 Oh as this world keeps spinning Bm7 Em9 You and I keep fishing Am7 Dm9 Flying kites and wishing Bm7 Em9 For something nice Am7 Dm9 And I know theres missing Bm7 Em9 With every chance Im taking Am7 Dm9 Am7 - Dm9 - Bm7 - Em9 But this, and that, is life VERSE 2: Am7 Its the loving hate and hating love Dm9 Its the ups and downs that carry us all Bm7 Em9 Oooooo Oooooo Am7 You reach real high at the low hanging clouds Dm9 Its hard sometimes with your feet on the ground Bm7 Em9 Oooooo Oooooo PRE-CHORUS: Am7 Lets get it together Cm7 Yeah it happens again Bm7 But it doesnt matter Em9 Cuz its not the end Am7 We got time to improve Cm7 Time can renew Bm7 I dont know why Em9 But I wanna cry Am7 Dm9 Cuz this, and that, is life CHORUS: Am7 Dm9 Oh as this world keeps spinning Bm7 Em9 You and I keep fishing Am7 Dm9 Flying kites and wishing Bm7 Em9 For something nice Am7 Dm9 And I know theres missing Bm7 Em9 With every chance Im taking Am7 Dm9 But this, and that, is life BRIDGE (didn't do ._.): Im getting over Four leaf clovers Am7 Dm9 Today?oh yeah CHORUS: Am7 Dm9 Oh as this world keeps spinning Bm7 Em9 You and I keep fishing Am7 Dm9 Flying kites and wishing Bm7 Em9 For something right Am7 Dm9 And I know theres missing Bm7 Em9 With every chance Im taking Am7 Dm9 Bm7 Em9 But this, and that, and this and that Am7 Dm9 Bm7 Em9 And this, and that, and this and that Am7 Dm9 Am7 And this, and that?is life OUTRO: Am7-Dm9-Bm7-Em9-Am7 (HOLD and fade away) Okay... the chords took me two hours to type in O^O...
