Played with a capo on the 4th fret.
Play | Em C | 8 times for the intro. C may be a Cmaj7, that is, E to e, X32000 or X32400.
Then | Em C | D G D | is the verse.
MIm DO RE SOL RE
MIm DO RE SOL RE
MIm DO MIm/SI DO
D/F# is 20023X. If you can't help strumming all the six strings, play 200230, as in
Pearl Jam's "Immortality".
MIm DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
The morning rain cloud's up my window, and I can't see at all
DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
And even if I could, it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall
DO MIm/SI DO
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Play | Em C | twice, and then verse again.
MIm DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
DO RE SOL RE/FA# MIm
And even if I'm there they'll all imply that I might not last the day
DO MIm/SI DO
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Then turn to | G | C | G | C | G | C | Bm | Am |
Repeat this 5 times (1st as chorus, 2nd instrumental, 3rd verse, 4th and 5th chorus)
Stress the B on A string when passing from G to C (that is, play a G/B x20033).
You can pick the right rythm for this if you look at the next verse (Push the door...).
SOL DO
And I want to thank you
SOL DO
For giving me the best day of my life
SOL DO
And oh, just to be with you
SIm LAm
Is having the best day of my life
SOL DO SOL DO SOL DO SIm LAm
Try a little soloing here using the G major scale
-|-*-|---|-*-|(*)|---|-*-|-e
-|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|---|-*-|-B
-|(*)|---|-*-|---|-*-|---|-G
-|-*-|---|-*-|---|-*-|---|-D
-|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|-A
-|-*-|---|-*-|(*)|---|---|-E
This? How to call it? Should be a fretboard with 6 frets.
If you want to play a G scale, choose the frets so that the
(*) are G's. So, those 6 fret would be 0 to 5, or 12 to 17.
Wanna play a C scale? Use frets from 5 to 10. Of course you
can play scales all over the fretboard, but this is a good
beginning.
Hey: in this song you use a capo so that you actually play
the scale on frets from 4 to 9. A B scale. Not common. Where else?
John Mellencamp's "What If I Came Knocking", I think.
Then:
SOL SOL/SI DO SOL/SI SOL
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
SOL/SI DO SOL/SI SOL
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
SOL/SI DO SIm
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
LAm
Because you're near me...
SOL DO
And I want to thank you
SOL DO
For giving me the best day of my life
SOL DO
And oh, just to be with you
SIm LAm
Is having the best day of my life
SOL DO
And I want to thank you
SOL DO
For giving me the best day of my life
SOL DO
And oh, just to be with you
SIm LAm
Is having the best day of my life
