From the "High & Dry" CD single... played at a deliberate, medium tempo.
The bass actually echoes most of the melody in the song, so it can sound a
little wack on an acoustic guitar. Try walking the E up to the A on the
"good things and bad" parts to fill things out a little bit.
Verse:
E B E A2->A
Seen all good things and bad
MI SI MI LA2
running down the hill
MI SI MI LA
All so battered and brought to the
MI SI MI LA2
ground
E B E A2->A
I am hungry again
MI SI MI LA2
I am drunk again
MI SI MI LA
With all the money I owe to my
MI SI MI
friends
Pre-chorus:
LA SOL#m FA#m MI5
When I'm like this
SI LA SOL#m FA#m
How can you be smiling, saying
Chorus (inhale deeply!):
MI SI MI LA
Ho-o-w can you be sure?
MI SI MI LA
Ho-o-w can you be sure?
Verse:
If you walk out that door, will I see you again
if so much of me lies in your eyes?
I am hungry again, I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
Chorus (instrumental)
Chorus w/ "I don^Òt want you anymore" vocals overdubbed
end
Notes on the chords:
I'm not sure what to call the B that I hear in the song, but I think it
might be a B5. It's fingered thusly; essentially just a power chord.
MI--X---
SI--0---
SOL--4---
RE--4---
LA--2---
MI--X---
Also, the A2->A is accomplished through a hammer-on, like so:
MI--0---2-2
B--0---0h2
SOL--2---2-2
RE--2---2-2
LA--0---0-0
MI--0---0-0
I think the G#m employed in the chorus is played with some open strings:
MI--0
SI--0
SOL--4
RE--6
LA--6
MI--x
And finally, the E5 in the chorus is played like an open D, but barred up 2
frets (kinda like how you might play an Eb)
MI--x
SI--5
SOL--4
RE--2
LA--2
MI--0
