_ [A] _ _ _ _ Alright, so what am I [D] doing?
_ Starts out _ B minor _
[A] 7th, _ A major [G] 7th, G [Bm] major 7th.
So beginning [A] is, _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ I just add a little E string bass to keep [D] it going.
[A] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [E] And then, [F#m] _ _
[N] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] I guess I'm playing an F sharp minor 7th, hammering on, [N] _
which is actually a substitute
for what the real chord is, which I think is a D major [D] 7th, _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ but it kind of [G#] sounds better
on the [F#m] guitar when [N] you hammer it on, I think.
[F#m] _
And it shares a lot of the same notes, _ kind of works.
_ [A#] And I'm doing kind of a Hendrix thing on the 5th and the [E] 4th strings, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ B minor [G#] 7th, _ _ to a
quick _ _ _ _ _ E9, _ [A] _ _ _ to the A major _ 7th. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [Bm] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Alright, then for the [N] chorus, _ it's really the same chords, but to mix it up a little
[E] bit between [G#m] the verse [A#] section with this, so it's not so redundant, I'm [D] playing kind of
the D major 7th here, _ _ _ _ _ with an open D, so I'm just playing the bottom strings, bottom
4 strings, _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ to a C sharp minor 7th, [F#m] _ _
_ _ to a [N] F sharp minor 7th, _ [A] [F#] and then [Bm] to the B [G#] minor 7th,
_ E9, [A] _ A major 7th.
_ So [D] for the chorus it would _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] _ be_
_ [E] _ [D] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ Alright, _ then the next part is the bridge.
_ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [G] [C#m] It's _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ just [A] an [Cm] A major 7th, [Bm] and you're sliding it down to [C#m] an [G#] A major 7th, to an A flat major
[G] 7th, to a G major [A] 7th.
[G#] _
[G] And _ then slide [A#] it all the way back up to an A, [N] _ from the G [A] to the A.
[G#] _ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bm] _
Do that three times, I [C#m] think.
[F] _ And [Bm] _
_ [F#m] then _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] I just kind of play them open, with a [A] harmonic.
_ [G#] _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ And if I could do [G]
any singing, more [E] falsetto, [F#m] _ _ [B] _ [N] _ _
I would sing it for you, but I don't think
that's what you're here for.
Do [D] a better version of it than I can, [G] [N] and _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Alright, so what am I [D] doing?
