-------------------------------------------------------------------------- State of Mind - Electric Light Orchestra -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard Electric Light Orchestra State of Mind (2001) (Lynne) From: "Zoom" Great song with some strange chords. I?m not sure about the bridge, although it sounds at least close. But there are of course different options. Any suggestions for voicings and names of chords are highly welcome! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIFF E-part EDAEDA 1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ e|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------| D|--------------2-|----------------| A|------2-5-5-4---|------2-5-5-4-2-| E|--0-4-----------|--0-4-----------| A-part AGDAGD 1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ e|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------| G|--------------2-|----------------| D|------2-5-5-4---|------2-5-5-4-2-| A|--0-4-----------|--0-4-----------| E|----------------|----------------| LINK to CODA EDAEF# 1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ e|----------------|----------------| B|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------| D|--------------2-|----------------| A|------2-5-5-4---|----2-4---------| E|--0-4-----------|0-4---2---------| CODA F# Gb-5 F# G-5* 1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+ e|2-----3---------|2---------------| B|2-----2---------|2-----2---------| G|3-----4---------|3-----4---------| D|----------------|------5---------| A|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------| (State of mi ? ind) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS BRIDGE I couldn?t really decide between these options. Choose what you like better . . . or maybe come up with another solution. Please give feedback if you think you came closer ? thanks! Bm7/11 x-2-0-2-0-0 Asus4 x-0-0-2-0-0 or: Bm7/11 x-2-0-2-3-3 Asus4 x-0-0-2-3-3 CHORUS F#m7b5 3-x-2-2-1-x B6 x-2-1-1-0-x CODA Don?t know what to call the second chord. Sounds kind of Spanish/Flamenco to me . . . Any ideas?
