It's played in A<br/> (capo at 2nd fret). All the below is written as though played in G (at the<br/> nut), so if you're playing with a capo at the 2nd fret, remember to play the<br/> TAB sections two frets higher than written here. <br/> <br/> <br/> [Intro] :<br/> <br/> G -------------------------0------------------------------------- ||<br/> D -----4-p-2--4----2-h-4------4--2-p-0---------------------------.||<br/> A ----------------------------------------3-----2--0-------------.||<br/> E -0--------------------------------------------------3----0----- || x 2<br/> <br/> Em C <br/> You can call me greedy coz I keep a piece of me <br/> Em C <br/> You can call me greedy there's a place you'll never see<br/> Am G + <br/> where the lights are all out and the door stays slammed<br/> Am G+6 B <br/> if that's being greedy, that's what I am<br/> <br/> <br/> [repeat the intro]<br/> <br/> <br/> Em C <br/> You hate me changing it's the change you can't control <br/> Em C <br/> You hate me changing and the wandering of my soul<br/> Am G + <br/> searching the storm for some frozen calm* <br/> Am G+6 B <br/> if that's being greedy that's what I am<br/> <br/> <br/> [instr.] :<br/> <br/> repeat intro, then :<br/> <br/> e --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> G --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> D ------------------------------------------7------9------------<br/> A -------5--7--7-----5---(5/)7------9--10-----------------------<br/> E ----7--------.--------7---------------------------------------<br/> <br/> (Em) (D) (Bm) <br/> e ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B ----------------------------------------0----------------------------<br/> G -------------------------------0------2---0--------------------------<br/> D ----/14---/12---/9---7---5---4-----2--------------0--2--------2--4---<br/> A ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> E ---------------------------------------------0------------0----------<br/> <br/> (Remember this is written in G, so move it up 2 frets if you're playing in A)<br/> <br/> <br/> [repeat first verse]<br/> <br/> [repeat intro and ad lib guitar to fade]<br/> <br/> <br/> EADGBe<br/> 022000 - Em<br/> X32010 - C<br/> X02210 - Am<br/> 320003 - G<br/> X20003 - G/B<br/> XX0000 - G+6<br/> X24442 - B<br/> <br/> / is a slide up<br/> h is a hammer on<br/> p is a pull off<br/> <br/> Strumming early on in the verse is the bass strings only, heavily damped by<br/> your right hand resting on the bridge (almost so it sounds like a bass drum).<br/> As the verse goes on bring in progressively more and more of the higher<br/> strings.<br/> <br/> + This G could be G/B or even another chord with B in the bass, although B<br/> major, minor and their 7ths don't seem to fit. <br/> <br/> * This could possibly be 'frozen qualm' (had it come from kd's clouds??), but<br/> I also heard someone singing 'searching the storm for some frozen corn', which<br/> has got to deserve a place in rock's list of classic misheard lyrics alongside<br/> Elvis Costello's 'she is washing up the dishes, oh-oh don't get cute' and Jimi<br/> Hendrix's "s'cuse me while I kiss this guy" !<br/> <br/> <br/> Here's the instrumental section in A (i.e. exactly what you play if you're<br/> using a capo at the 2nd fret) :<br/> <br/> e --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> G --------------------------------------------------------------<br/> D ------------------------------------------9------11-----------<br/> A -------7--9--9-----7---(7/)9------11--12----------------------<br/> E ----9--------.--------9---------------------------------------<br/> <br/> (F#m) (E) (C#m) <-actual chords played, you could use... <br/> ...(Em) (D) (Bm) SHAPES, with capo@2 <br/> e ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B ----------------------------------------2----------------------------<br/> G -------------------------------2------4---2--------------------------<br/> D ----/16---/14---/11---9---7---6-----4--------------2--4--------4--6--<br/> A ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> E ---------------------------------------------2------------2----------<br/> <br/> Any comments, corrections, improvements etc. welcome.<br/> <br/> <br/> Nic <br/> <br/> Nic.Boulton@mercury.co.uk<br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
