Put You in a Song

Written by Sarah Buxton, Jedd Hughes and Keith Urban Key of D (Capo 2) ========== N O T E S ========== INTRO - This song starts out with the cowbell ticking away, so we start by ping the body of the guitar on the pickguard to get a similar sound (TAP). If you hold the pick between thumb and index finger and leave the other three sticking out, you may be able to continue the cowbell effect as you pick/strum the intro part. I have written in the chord fingering to hold onto while emphasizing the melodic INTRO MOTIF with the pick on the up and down strokes as needed. VERSES - In the verses, it's primarily bass and drums, so we emphasize the bass strings, using the same strumming pattern from the intro, and trying to maintain an Off-Beat string-muting tap. CHORUS - The chorus is full-out chords. The very last chorus finishes with several of the Intro Motifs in a row until the line that starts with A minor. ========== F I N G E R I N G S ========== CHORDS (in order of appearance): F: 133211 Em: 022000 Am: x02210 C/E: 032010 Dm: xx0231 G: 320003 or barred, 355433 C: x32010 Dm7: xx0211 G/B: x20003 INTRO MOTIF: chord F C strum v ^ v ^ v ^ ... e - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B - 1 - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G - 0 2 0 2 0 2 2 0 2 0 0 - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - D - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 2 0 2 0 2 2 0 2 A - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - E- BASS RIFF: chord (Am) F strum ^ v ^ v ... e - - - - - - - - - - 1 B - - - - - - - - - - 1 G - - - - - - - - - - 2 D - - - - - - - - - - 3 A - 2 3 2 0 0 2 0 3 E - - - - - 3 - - - 3 1 "Yeah a picture paints..."
