Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm,
you?ll get it soon enough :)
Chords:
[Bm] [Am] [Em] [F#5] [D] [G]
E|-2---0---0---x---2---3---
B|-3---1---0---x---3---0---
G|-4---2---0---x---2---0---
D|-4---2---2---4---0---0---
A|-2---0---2---4---0---2---
E|-2---x---0---2---x---3---
Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F#5 if you?re planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :)
Intro:
Bm Am Em F#5 x 2
Verse 1:
[Bm] If i was a [Am]farmer
[Em] Instead of a [F#5]faker

[Bm] Cat's eyes lead [Am]everyway
