Apartment


hi, I have been trying to grasp the chords they're playing on this one - even though they may play different variations of the chords as seen in the video, these go with the song very well chords used: E A D G B e Bm* x 2 4 4 3 x * x x x x 3 2 very short Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 ** x 2 0 x x x very short A x 0 2 2 2 0 *** x x x 2 2 2 very short Bmi 7 9 9 7 7 7 Am7 x 0 2 0 1 0 Em/G 3 2 2 0 0 0 G 3 2 0 0 3 3 F#m 2 4 2 2 2 2 you can either play the opening part as chords (Bm D - Em G - A F#m7 - Bm) or you can, like myself rather strum out individual strings to substitute for whole chords (thus skipping transitions to D, G and F#m7) - these ar noted below as *, ** and *** - the good thing about playing it this way is that you can pretty much leave the fingers of your left hand (for right-handed players) in the position of the preceding chord - this makes for a more consistent sound of the song, I feel. try it out both ways and you'll see. Please note that I'm using Bm and Bm* which is the same chord only played at different parts of the neck. Bm* * Em ** A *** Bm* Bm* * Em ** After leaving my apartment A *** Bm* I feel this cold inside me On my way to your apartment I write for fear of silence You carved a boat to sell my shadow A Bm* A A A Now I walk alone (keep playing A and gradually increase the intensity of the sound up to where they introduce a new set of chords) Bm Am7 Em/G G Bm Am7 Em/G G I hit the sidewalk and this is how it starts Bm Am7 Em/G G Hide in a raincoat when things are falling apart Bm* F#m7 Bm* F#m7 Bm* Em A Bm* Bm* * Em ** After leaving my apartment A *** Bm* I hear the coast by nightfall So sure to keep you dreaming You understood Oh, I know you understood Bm* Em A Bm* A A A A Yes sir, it shows I was no good alright, alright Bm Am7 Em/G G I hit the sidewalk and this is how it starts Bm Am7 Em/G G Hide in a raincoat when things are falling apart Bm Am7 Em/G G Cause sooner or later this is bound to stop Bm Am7 Em/G G Come on, let's savor what we're falling over Bm Am7 Em/G G (2x) Bm* * Em ** A *** Bm Bm* * Em ** After leaving your apartment A *** Bm I hear the coast... this is pretty much most of the song, they have a bunch of guitars so unless you have a band, this works for the background guitar.
