Topic: 80s Promises Promises by Naked Eyes

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to see if someone can post the chords for an 80s classic by Naked Eyes.

The song name is: Promises Promises.

That song has been in my head for awhile now and I know it would sound great on an acoustic.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Chordy ROCKS!!

The only Acoustic Cover I could find is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrZF54GViGY

Re: 80s Promises Promises by Naked Eyes

The intro chords are Am, Am7, Dm and Em - played with barre chords up high on the neck.
1st verse sounds like: (Am, G,Dm) 4 times, then play (barre all six strings at the 5th fret and cover the 4th string at the 7th fret) for 8 beats
then (same shape) cover the the 3rd string, 7th fret- for 4 beats, then Em for 4 beats.
"you made me"is Am, G,F. Then F, Em,Dm. "believe" Am.
Repeat intro chords then repeat all above.
Gotta go for now. Post back in if I can be more help.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
