Chords for Tommy Emmanuel Workshop Amazing Grace HD

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ So, actually [Eb] I [Em] play this way.
_ _ [G] _ So I'm in the [Em] key of E, _ [B] so I go, _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ so I'm playing, here's
the E chord there as well, _ _ so I start here. _
_ _ _ _ _ I've got these notes ringing as well, _ the
B and the E, because I'm playing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Then I switch [E] to this shape. _ _
_ _ There's the E there, _ _ _ _ _ but at
the same time I'm still playing the open E, so you get.
_ _ _ Now, I [Ab] go, _ _ [A] _ _ _
that's a little [B] move
of mine that [N] I came up with, and it's an E [E] augmented, _ _ _ and I [Ab] go, _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
[Ab] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Gb] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Gbm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em]
so let me just go really
slowly for you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [E] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ C [B] diminished, _
[E] _ [B] C sharp minor, _ [E] [Gb] F sharp, _ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ _
A.
[E] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ Okay, that's the basis of the
arrangement.
And then the second time around I do [C] a move which [Eb] Chet Atkins gave me.
I was
playing this at [B] his house [E] one day, and he said, stop, [Eb]
I've got something for you.
So
[Dbm] the second time around, [G] this is what he gave me.
It's so beautiful.
[C] So instead of [Cm] going,
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ [E] _ _ [Db] _
[Ab] somebody showed me.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[Em] _ _ It's a classic gospel move, [Ab] right?
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Em] _ So it has a contrary motion.
[C] It has the bass going up, [B] and the melody [Abm] going down.
_ [G] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ What a [N] great move.
And what was the,
you said it was like an E, some kind of E shape, it was like the second, third chord?
[Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
Yeah, right there.
[E] It's augmented. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] using my thumb a lot as well, and so that [Db] kind of fools
people.
I also do something [B] that fools people a lot, [Ebm] and I don't do it on purpose to fool [Eb] people.
I do it because I can, and that's, I use, I cover two strings with one finger a lot, and it fools
people's eyes because they think, where's that extra [E] note coming from?
[Ab] I'm going, _ [Bm] I've covered
[C] those two.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dbm] _ [Ab] _
_ I'm a bit unorthodox with how I use [E] my thumb, and it goes both ways, and [C] I find ways [Em] of
getting, it's all [Gbm] about trying to play the song with as much feeling as I can, and get as many _
_ _ _ [B] _ good ideas into it.
So I look for [E] the positions that do that [Ab] for me.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ [Abm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ So I'm using the A, but [Em] I'm
still playing the melody there, [A] so you get, _ [Em] and I've covered [A] _ _ those two with that finger, you see?
So I'm doing it in like every second bar, I'm doing stuff like two strings with one finger,
[D] and all that kind of stuff.
That's why it's [Eb] hard for me to explain [B] what I do, [E] because it's just,
I don't know, I'm not following any _ design, I'm just trying to find, with [F] every one of my
arrangements, I have to be satisfied [B] with [Am] the chords and [Ab] how it feels and everything, and if I _
can't, you know, [N] see someone do it, then I go looking for it until I find it, and I don't quit until I do. _
