Tuning: standard
My buddy Jonathan turned me onto Farrar's album Sebastapol, and this
song's always stuck in my head. I hammered out some chords today and found this to be a
pretty good acoustic version though I'm sure it's far from perfect. I've seen a few
online versions but they're faster and electric, this is more akin to how it's
played on Sebastopol.
There are basically three segments: the preamble, the prechorus and the chorus. Listen
to the song and "funk it up" a bit as needed.
(preamble/intro)
[G] [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am] [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be fenced in
[G] [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am] [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be fenced in
(I call this simply "the riff")
e|-------------3-3-----| B|1-0---0--1---3-3-----| G|0-0-2-0--0-2---------| D|----0------0---------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------|
[G]
Scattered along the way must be some understanding
(the riff)
[G]
Handwritten skyline room for ideals ascending
(the riff)
(For this part, the prechorus, strum a G chord and throw in some muted string riffs and
maybe walk up the low E string from F to G)
It's alright, it's alright, I know that it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, I know that it's alright
(Use the same process as above for the chorus here, but more solid strumming and less
muted strings)
'Cause I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
(the riff, a few times)
[G]
Packaged and put out, more or less dreaming
(the riff)
[G]
Later on business, low level screaming
(the riff)
[G]
Pell-mell from the committee of welcoming
(the riff)
[G]
Taste a different pattern, the blind frequency
Then just finish up with the prechorus and chorus again. Finish with the riff. Rock on!
Share good music with everyone.
