Mean Taylor Swift
Hi! So we're here again with the last single before the whole album
comes out next week! *yay* Don't let the Asus4's scare you away,
they're easy to play! A regular 'A' can be played though:)
**UPDATE**
The unnecessary D/F#'s are now gone. Happy? LOL!!
**One millionth update! lol!**
So I just saw the "Mean" music video and the beginning verse is the
Bm instead of D so it's been switched:) The Bm/G in the chorus is now
gone as well, it's just a G all the way through (which is easier too!)
Taylor plays with no capo in the video and plays with a capo on 4
when playing live. IF you want to transpose this up or down 2 half
steps, go for it:) just click the transpose button above and move or
lose the capo! Also I'm keeping the Asus4 in the chorus, but just play
an A if you want;)
***Please Rate***
Let me know what you think!:)
EADGBe
Bm (xx4432)-easier way
Asus4 (x02230)-or a regular 'A' (x02220) can be played.
*Also, I use a really thin pick for this song, it makes it sound more
"Banjo-ish" lol:)
