[D]
[C] [G]
[Am] [C] Hey guys, this song is called Make A Way [Gb] and we're going to show you that the album key,
the song is in the key of C.
Oftentimes we'll play it half step down, in which case you
can just drop your guitar tune it half step down.
But we'll show you, go ahead and show
you the album chords here.
So I'm just going to be strumming my part.
There is a picking
part in the song if you'd like to play it.
It's kind of like a guitar three and it's
just picking through these main chords that I'll show you and it ends on the B string
[Ab] with each of those picking patterns.
So it's [Am] going
[C]
[G] A [Am] minor to F [Fm] to C to G.
And so what's
that we'll be doing in the verse, strumming will look like this.
[D] [G]
[Am] [C]
[G]
That's [G] the gist of the
verse and the pre-chorus.
And into the chorus it'll start with [Ab] an F, F major 7, so it's
going to look like this.
[D] [C]
To the C, A minor, no you [G] won't.
To the G, G sus, [Ab] G sus, that's
our favorite [G] chord.
[D] F, C, [Am] A minor, [G]
back to the G sus.
[E]
Adam do you want to show them the
rest of the song?
So my riff is, it's a repeating riff that happens in the intro and in the verses as
well.
And I'm just going to kind of show you guys the spelling of the tab of it.
It's
going to be [Am] 7, 5, [C] 8 [Em] and then open.
[F] And then it's going to go back here.
It's going to
be 3, 5, 3, open.
[D]
[A] And it's going to be 5, 5, 3, open.
[Am]
And then [G] 5, 4, 3, open.
[Bm] So all
together it's going to sound like this.
[Am] [D]
[Em]
And that riff [E] kind of repeats over what he's playing.
If you can just kind of show them how this is going to go together.
1, 2, 3, [Am] 4.
[D]
[C] [G]
[D]
[G]
[G] Yep, so that is the gist of what I play.
And then into the bridge, I guess the last part, we'll just go right to the F.
[D] F major
7, you brought me this far, to [G] G.
You brought [C] me this far, [G] you will make a way.
So it's
really going [C] between those two chords.
To the F, back to [G] the G sus,
[C]
[G] back to the G.
Actually I do do [C] something different on you.
I [Gm] do a little different chord progression
just to give it more [C] movement.
Mine's an F2.
So it's going to be 1, 3, 3, open, 1,
open.
So it's [Am] going to be like [C] this.
You brought me this far, to the G [G] sus.
You brought me
this far, A minor 7.
[Am] You brought me this far, back to the G sus.
[G]
The second time.
[C]
[G] You brought
me this far, [Am]
A minor 7 to a G sus [G] B.
And [C] then just single chords for that little instrumental
breakdown.
[Am]
[C] So that's our song, Make A Way.
