Sitting Still R.E.M.
<br/> <br/> SITTING STILL (3 Versions here)<br/> <br/> <br/> SITTING STILL (Version 1)<br/> <br/> {note: In this song and many other REM songs, there is an A9 chord.<br/> This chord can be interchanged with Asus2. Here is my favorite A9<br/> position:<br/> <br/> (E) -0- its just like playing an A chord using a 5th fret<br/> (B) -0- barre E chord. If you move it to the seventh fret,<br/> (G) -6- it becomes a B11. On the 8th fret, its a Cmaj7. On<br/> (D) -7- the 10th, its a D9add6. On the 3rd fret, its a very<br/> (A) -7- pretty G6 chord. On the second, its a neat sounding F#<br/> (E) -5- sort-of chord. On the first fret, Its a Mexican sounding<br/> F chord.}<br/> <br/> <br/> A BaddE/F# is an easy chord. It looks like this. Don't play the A-string.<br/> Obviously, you pick this chord -don't strum, It'll sound shitty.<br/> <br/> BaddE/F# BaddE (normal)<br/> (E) -0- -0-<br/> (B) -0- -0- To switch between these chords, move<br/> (G) -2- -2- only ONE finger.<br/> (D) -4- -4-<br/> (A) -x- -2-<br/> (E) -2- -x-<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> E BaddE/F# BaddE<br/> This name I got we all agreed<br/> E BaddE/F# BaddE<br/> See could stop stop it will rid<br/> E BaddE/F# BaddE<br/> We could bind it in the cist<br/> E BaddE/F# BaddE<br/> We could gather, throw a fit<br/> <br/> B A<br/> Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in<br/> B A<br/> Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still<br/> <br/> I'm the sign and you can read.<br/> I'm the sign and you're not deaf.<br/> We could bind it in the cist.<br/> We could gather, throw a fit.<br/> <br/> Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in<br/> Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still<br/> I can hear you.
