Better Days by Anthony Hamilton guitar lesson chords
Start Jamming...
[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?
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
