Chords for Something in the way she moves - James Taylor guitar lesson

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Alright, classic James Taylor lecture.
Let's look at the song.
[G] It's gonna go something like this.
Right after that, you're gonna go into the song.
What we're gonna do [Bb] is go,
_ _ alright, [Fm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
first part.
What [Bb] we're taking is an _ A7, we're gonna hammer on.
_ _ So we're gonna go boom, A,
_ _ hammer on, and then slide up [Eb] to A minor 7. So,
[Bb] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] so it's A in the bass to [F] E in the bass.
[Bb] So A7, sliding up to an A minor [Fm] 7,
but with E in the bass,
[Cm] which is some kind of E minor, E [Ab] minor 7 kind of chord.
[Bb] So,
♪ Something in the [Eb] way [Bb] she moves.
[Fm] ♪
E minor.
♪ Looks my way, [Ab] calls my [Bb]
name.
_ ♪
_ There's this little signature hammer on,
which is an A, _ _
like an A2.
_ You're hammering on that,
_ _ that little pinky.
_ ♪ _ That [Fm] seems to [Ab] leave this trouble.
♪
[Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
What you're really doing is just accenting those bass notes
coming on [F] down, so,
♪ [Bb] _ _ _ If I'm feeling [Eb] down, [Bb] do.
_ [Fm]
♪ E minor.
♪ [F] Trouble [Eb] by [Ab] some [Bb] foolish game.
♪ Hammer on.
♪ _ _ _ _ She [Fm] always [Ab] seems to make [Db] me change my [Bb] mind. _
_ _ _ ♪
That's the chorus,
the first I should [Ebm] say right there.
And then it goes into the chorus.
♪ I [Bb] feel fine [Fm] anytime.
_ ♪
♪ She's [Bb] around me. _ _ _
♪
Gotta get that hammer on.
You can [E] play the hammer on [Eb] with the A and the [Bb] pinky.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
James does it where he slides the [C] other one underneath.
That's not as [Bb] comfortable for me,
but you can go like that.
_ _ _ _ You can do it that way too, whatever you like.
_ ♪ She's [Gm] around me.
♪
F sharp minor or minor seventh to B minor [Cm] seventh.
_ And [C] then he uses this a lot too,
is the B minor seventh with an E [F] in the bass. _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Really just the B minor seventh chord with E in the bass,
but you're [Eb] accenting that bass notes.
♪ And if [Bb] I'm well, you [Fm] can tell.
[Eb] ♪
♪ [Bb] She's been with me now.
_ _ _ ♪
Walk it down, A, G [Gm] sharp, F sharp minor.
♪ She's been with [C] me now.
[Cm] ♪
B minor to the E, B [C] minor seventh with E in the bass.
[Eb] ♪ Quite alone. _
_ [Cm] ♪
_ Alternate the bass [Eb] notes.
_ [Cm] ♪ Guessing I [Bb] feel alone.
[Ab] ♪
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] This way that little [Bb] turnaround goes.
_ _ _ You're pulling off first, A, pull off on [Eb] that [Bb] pinky. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] G, D, [Bb]
A.
_ _ _ _ _ Hammer on, so pull off and [C] then hammer on.
One more time, a little [Bb] slow. _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, every now, next part of the [Eb] song.
♪ Every [Db] now and then, the things I lean on lose their [Eb] meaning.
♪
All I'm doing is taking the D position,
walking down the bass chord.
So it's like a D, _ _ hold the, I don't know the chord,
I don't know if [Cm] it's D nine or something like this,
but you're keeping [F] that open chord, the [Eb] E open.
So, every now [Db] and then, see,
the things I lean on lose [Eb] their meaning.
So you're going D, _ C, [Cm] B, [Eb] C, D in the bass notes.
[Cm] And then you go coming back up.
And I find myself [Eb] _
careening.
Walk back [Db] up.
♪ Into places where [Fm] I should never let me go.
♪
E minor seventh to [Bb] an A seventh.
[Eb] ♪ _ She has [Db] the power to go.
[Ab]
♪
♪ No one else [Eb] can find me.
♪
♪ Yes, [Cm] inside of me, [Eb] _ reminding.
♪
And _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] D times [Eb] that I [Cm] know.
_ B minor seventh to an E.
_ _ Back again. _ _ _
_ And that's mostly all the song there.
I apologize for the [Eb] facts coming in,
but this is a [Cm] live recording.
And then back into the [Bb] song. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Something in the way she moves.
Let's take a look at that intro one more time.
This is the thing to practice right here.
A seven, hammer on.
_ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That's a change there. _ _
