All the symbols are what you would expect. Here, B7 is named so
for lack of a better term. I looked through a chord dictionary,
but didn't see one the same as my diagram. A#m/E is the same case.
Chord Progression:
I use (B G#m E E x 2) (F# E F# E F# E) for the verse and chorus.
Later, there's just (G#m G#m E E) and the (F# E F# E F# E) with
some variation you will see in the tab. I use the B7 in place of
the B whenever Ms. Merchant is not singing. The A#m and A#m/E
only occurs once in two measures (at 3:19) late in the song
(see strum pattern).
Strum Key:
| down strum x muted down strum u up strum
RE RE
4 quarter note 8 eighth note
Try the following for the verse (4/4 time):
SI SOL#m MI MI 4 4 8 8 4 4 4 8 8 4 4 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 4
| x u u | | x u u | | x u u | u | u x u u |
d d | | d d d | | d v v | | v | v | v | | v
(same as 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
above) | u x u | u | u
v | v | v | v |
For the A#m measures:
SIbm SIbm
4 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 (I use A#m/E on the down strum after
| x u | u x u | u x u | u | each muted down strum. You really
v v | v | v | v | v | v | v need to listen to the song to hear this.)
Tab Key:
