================================================================================
In the promotional video Glenn can clearly be seen playing chords in
the key of G while song is pitched in the key of A. The occasional
appearance of open strings in the arpeggios (G in Bm, B in Am and C)
confirm the first position voicings.
To match the recording either tune up a whole step or use a capo at
the second fret. Tuning up an acoustic guitar is not recommended.
CHORDS:
G Am Bm C D Em, C* G* C, D, B Em A9......seventh and third
E|--3---0---2---0---2---7----8---3---3---5---7---0---0--| are not played by B|--0---1---3---1---3---8----8---3---5---7---7---0---0--| the guitar but the G|--0---2---4---0---2---9----9---4---5---7---8---0---2--| ensemble harmony D|--0---2---4---2---0---9----10--5---5---7---9---2---2--| is ninth not sus2 A|--2---0---2---3-------7----10--5---3---5---9---2---0--| E|--3------------------------8---3---3---5---7---0------|
Barre chord voicings:
* root on 6th-string
, root on 5th-string
Organ plays a G-note drone through several chords.
These voicings mimic the ensemble harmony:
Am~ Bm~ D~
[Am7] [Gmaj7/B] [Dadd11] [A9]
E|--0------2---------2-----3--| B|--1------0---------3-----0--| G|--0------0---------0-----2--| D|--2------0---------0-----2--| A|--0------2---------0-----0--| E|----------------------------|
The chord progression is not consistent
hence the labelling of verses A B C D.
