Thus all the 4's below are like open<br/> strings. The chords used throughout the song are:<br/> <br/> ---(7)-------(4)------------------(4)---------6----<br/> ----7---------7----------6---------7----------7----<br/> ----4---------4----------6---------4----------6----<br/> ----4---------6----------6---------6----------4----<br/> ----6---------7----------4---------6----------4----<br/> ----7------------------------------4----------6----<br/> <br/> B E Db Abm F#<br/> <br/> The parentheses signify notes that only get played occasionally.<br/> For the F#, the 6 on the low E string may or may not be played, but<br/> it's a nice way to follow the bass line. You'll probably want to use<br/> your thumb for that note.<br/> <br/> The verse goes:<br/> <br/> | B E | B Db | Abm E | B Db | B E | B F# | Db | Db :|<br/> <br/> The chorus goes:<br/> <br/> | Abm F# | B | F# | Db | Abm F# | B | F# | Db ||<br/> <br/> In the measures with Abm and F#, the F# is only played on the last<br/> beat, serving as a passing chord to the B (now you can see why the<br/> bass line is important -- here it goes Ab Bb B, kinda cool)<br/> <br/> The chorus and solo have the same chords. The final verse has the<br/> same chords and the other verses except the measure | Abm E |<br/> becomes | Abm F# |.<br/> <br/> That's pretty much the whole song. All other Toad requests are<br/> welcome, either by emailing or posting, cause Toad kicks butt.<br/> <br/> Later,<br/> <br/> Dave Shapiro<br/> dshapiro@ucsd.edu<br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
