Notes in parentheses may be played For the most part, though, Brett leaves them out (as I do in the video). With Am, half the time Brett plays it as a standard barre chord and the other half he it as I do. I prefer using the thumb for the bass notes (reminiscent of John Mayer's style). During F chord in the chorus Brett adds a little hammer-on with the pinky on the 4th string, fret. This transcription was taken from numerous videos, most specifically this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj7OS0dOp-E "Heaven" by Brett Dennen Verse 1 F Bb Beyond the rules of religion Dm Am the cloth of conviction Bb F Dm above all the competition Gm C where fact and fiction meet F Bb There's no color lines, casts or classes Dm Am there's no fooling the masses Bb F Dm whatever faith you practice Gm C whatever you believe Chorus: Dm Bb C Dm Oh, Heaven, Heaven Dm Bb C Dm What the hell is heaven?
