Chords for Wedding Cake Island Guitar Lesson | Midnight Oil

_ [Ab] _ [C] We are going to have a [Ab] run through Midnight Oil's Wedding Cake [F] Island this morning. _
So fantastic, [Db] let's get into it.
So we start off, there's an intro, we've got an E flat.
[Eb] So the sixth fret, we're going to get one and two and three and [Gm] four and_
Two and three and [C] four _ and_
Two and three and [Ab] four [Dm] and_
_ _ Six, so so far we've had [Eb] E flat.
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Then C, E minor sub four, _ [F] A minor six.
[Dm] _ _
_ Then B [Bb] flat, _ _ F [F] with an A bass.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ Then E minor pentatonic with a [C] five-bass.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So that's down, down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up.
_ [N] Right, so then the main kind of thing.
So we've got our third finger here at the fifth fret and we're going to bend it [G] up a tone. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then _ _ _ [A] _ _ we're going to do [N] a rake, so how we do that is we let our right hand, _
_ so basically stand on the strings so you don't get any sound.
And it's going to [F] _ [Em] go_
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] So that riff again [Fm] is_
Six, five, [Em] six, eight, five.
You can either use [Ab] kind of finger, butto, [F] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ or_
[B] And then we've got [G] this G note again where we're going to _ go_
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Down to [F] three, _ [E] two, [D] zero, [E]
two, two.
And if you've got an E there.
[C] And we'll do another rake, we're going to play a little D [Dm] minor chord.
_ _ So how we get that [N] is we go all the way [Dm] through. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [G] then, _ _ _ _ so [Dm] this is D minor.
_ This is a G, it's a D chord, it's kind of a [G] D shape chord.
_ _ At seventh fret, [Eb] and then we're going to_ _ _ _
Whilst the kind of people eat the text over. _ _
_ [Gm] G minor, _ [C] C major.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] C, there's a little, small riff, a _ little_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] We're going to [E] go three, _ [Cm] seven, third [D] finger.
[C] _ _ Right, and then we hit [G] the theme again.
_ _ Two, [Dm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ three, [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ four_
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] Oh, that's rubbish.
So, that's that section, just basically play that theme again.
Same positions as last time.
Pretty much the same except the rake on the D minor.
_ The rake on this, yeah, D minor doesn't happen, it [Dm] just_ _ _
_ _ [G] Then _ _ _ we hit a bridge, we're [A] going to go_
A, [C] _
C, [Gb] _ F sharp.
[Ab] And [Bb] then, [A] seven, _ _ _ [C] C.
_ [Gb] _
_ That's it.
[Cm] Then [A] we _
_ [C] go_
_ [F] _ _ _
[D] Five on that one.
[A] So we've got [C] seven, five, [A] _ five_
And then the last one is seven, [C] _
five, [Gb] F sharp.
_ Okay, that bit again, bridge [A] is seven_
Two [C] and three, _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ three, [A] four. _
_ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ Two, three, four [A] and one, two [C] and three, [A] one. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Gb] _ _
Okay.
_ [N] Right, then we hit the same theme again,
but we are going to play in a different key.
So we're going to [A] bend this A.
_ [Fm] There's some drums.
_ Then we [A] get _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
[G] _ _ [Gb] _ [E] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Gb] five, [E] four, [Gb] two, four, four.
And [Abm] then E [Em] minor again.
_ Same thing as [A] before. _
This is an A.
Now, we're going to hit the interlude.
[Eb] So, _ we go, we [F] play an F. _
_ [A] _ _ [C] _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ Drop [F] an F, drop the first fret.
[A] _ A, [C]
C, [B] B, [E] _ _ [G] G, _
[A] _ [Gm] A, G.
_ Do that [F] again.
_ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ [E] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ Then you're going to hit a harmonic on the [N] third string of the fifth fret.
Right.
[Ab] _
So the important thing about harmonics,
right on top of where the fret is,
it's like the opposite [C] way.
Usually if you play a fret that note,
you try and get [Ab] as close to the fret, but not on the fret.
But here we're going to [G] go right on top.
_ [Ab] Then with your tremolo bar.
_ _ [N] _ _ _ Woo! _
So you basically hit the note, _
the tremolo bar _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ [C] comes_
[E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Like that.
And then we've got [F] F.
_ _ _ _ _ That's five, six, five, six, five.
And [Em] then E minor.
