ubi_rex@hotmail.com Capo 2 I made up the notation because the chord names were long (Em7sus4) and frequent. Here’s the deal: you start the measure with a down strum on G or Em7. Then strum up on the next beat to accent the root note an octave up, then you add an “A” note and strum up to accent, and then add the a “B” and strum up. G =3200XX (down strum) Em7 =0200XX (down strum) ^ =3200XX (UP strum) ^ =0200XX (UP strum) ^A=3202XX (UP strum) ^A=0202XX (UP strum) ^B=32020X (UP strum) ^B=02020X (UP strum) You should mess around with the way you strum to fit the music and not just strum on the beats. Selectively play the high and low part of the chord, or switch to finger picking. Notes at the bottom. Other chords you might want to know: G/B=X2000X Gadd9=32020X G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B I have your good clothes in the car G ^ ^A ^B So cut your hair so no one knows Em7 ^ ^A ^B I have your dreams and your teeth marks Em7 ^ ^A ^B all my finger nails are painted G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B I'm here to Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B take you now G ^ ^A ^B You were right about the end G ^ ^A ^B It didn't make a difference Em7 ^ ^A ^B Everything I can remember Em7 ^ ^A ^B I remember wrong G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B C G/B How can anybody know how they got to be G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B this way C G/B You must have known I'd do this G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B some day C G/B Break my arms around the one I love Am And be forgiven by the time my lover comes G Break my arms around my love (REPEAT) G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B I don't have any questions G ^ ^A ^B I don't think it's gonna rain Em7 ^ ^A ^B You were right about the end Em7 ^ ^A ^B It didn't make a difference G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B I'm here to Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B take you now G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B Out among the missing sons and daughters of the So Ho Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B riots G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B Out among the missing sons and daughters of the So Ho Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B riots I’m here to G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B take you now C G/B Gadd9 How can anybody know how they got to be this way C G/B Gadd9 You must have known I'd do this some day C G/B Break my arms around the one I love Am And be forgiven by the time my lover comes G Break my arms around my love (REPEAT) ----------------------------------------------------- Notes Here’s the picking pattern. I recommend switching between the chords and picking to add some dynamics G ^ ^A ^B G ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B Em7 ^ ^A ^B 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 -----------------------------------------------------------------| -------------0---------------0---------------0---------------0---| -----0---2----2------0---2----2------0---2----2------0---2----2--| ------0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0| -----------------------------------------------------------------| -3-----3---3-----3-----3---3-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----| I mess around with strumming high or low parts of the chords to fit the music, here an approximate way I strum. u for up strum, d for down 1 2 3 4 G ^ ^A ^B D d U u d U u d U u u -------------------------------| -----------------------0--0----| ----0--0--0----2--2----2--2----| -0--0--0--0-0--0--0-0--0--0--0-| -2--2--2--2-2--0--0-2--------2-| -3----------3-------3----------| 1 2 3 4 Em7 ^ ^A ^B D d U u d U u d U u u -------------------------------| -----------------------0--0----| ----0--0--0----2--2----2--2----| -0--0--0--0-0--0--0-0--0--0--0-| -2--2--2--2-2--0--0-2--------2-| -0----------0-------0----------|
