From the "High & Dry" CD single... played at a deliberate, medium tempo.
The bass actually echoes most of the melody in the song, so it can sound a
little wack on an acoustic guitar. Try walking the E up to the A on the
"good things and bad" parts to fill things out a little bit.
Verse:
E B E A2->A
Seen all good things and bad
E B E A2running down the hill
E B E AAll so battered and brought to the
- E B E A2
ground
E B E A2->A
I am hungry again
E B E A2I am drunk again
- E B E A
With all the money I owe to my
E B E friends
Pre-chorus:
- A G#m F#m E5
When I'm like this
B A G#m F#m How can you be smiling, saying
Chorus (inhale deeply!):
- E B E A
Ho-o-w can you be sure?
E B E A Ho-o-w can you be sure?
Verse:
If you walk out that door, will I see you again
if so much of me lies in your eyes?
I am hungry again, I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2Chorus (instrumental)
Chorus w/ "I don^Òt want you anymore" vocals overdubbed
end
Notes on the chords:
I'm not sure what to call the B that I hear in the song, but I think it
might be a B5. It's fingered thusly; essentially just a power chord.
E--X---- B--0---G--4---D--4---
- A--2---E--X---
Also, the A2->A is accomplished through a hammer-on, like so:
E--0---2-2B--0---0h2
- G--2---2-2D--2---2-2A--0---0-0
- E--0---0-0
I think the G#m employed in the chorus is played with some open strings:
- E--0B--0G--4
- D--6A--6E--x
And finally, the E5 in the chorus is played like an open D, but barred up 2
frets (kinda like how you might play an Eb)
- E--xB--5G--4
- D--2A--2E--0
- PLAY TOO ..
