Play the C Chord

Author/Artist: Starflyer 59 Title: Play the C Chord Album: Everybody Makes Mistakes Transcribed by: Kyle Stedman Email: kstedman@rollins.edu Written by Jason Martin / Some Blue Collar Songs (ASCAP) (P) & (C) 1999 Tooth and Nail Records Note, of course, that this is appoximate and must be made better by he/she who is holding the guitar--listen to the record and you'll get the idea. Notice also that this is Starflyer, and thus all strings are tuned down half a step, which is important if playing with the record. Intro (play this a couple times, loosely) --------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------- --------- ---7----9----10---12----12b13r- ---7----9----10----12----15- -3b4-3b4- -0----0----0----0-----0-------- -0----0----0-----0-----0---- Intro chords can be played on an acoustic as such: Em Cmaj7 Asus2 G (4x) (best guess at indecipherable lyrics follow) Em CAsus2 Is there time? G Em Asus2 Feeling the lights. G Em CmAsus2 Putting a song to life, G Em CmAsus2 feeling the old time. --------- --------------------- --------- ---0----0----0----0-- --------- --------------------- --------- --------------------- --------- ------3----0--------- -3b4-3b4- -0--------------3---- G Em Asus2 And these friends and mine, G Em Asus2 who wrote the prize? G Em CmaAsus2 And we write the songs you like G EmGsus2 in half the time. Chorus G D Am Am Something's wrong, it fixed the old mess. C G D Am Am Just play the C Chord like it's something. C G D Am Am Something's wrong, it fixed the old mess. C G D Am Just play the C Chord like it's something, G Am like it's something. -----------------10----10----10----------------------------------------------- -/8-8---8---//10----10----------10---10---10---10/-13-13-13-\-8--------------- -/7---7---7------------------------9----9----9---/-12-12-12-\-7--------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And happily, it's all repeated from there. The second verse is really just the second half of the first verse, and once again the electric hitting root of the chord, open b string, root of the chord, open b string jumps in half way through. Chorus is the same. Same chord progression throughout the "Like it's something you can see" bit, go wild. Cheers! Anyone with more Starflyer stuff, especially off Everybody Makes Mistakes or Fashion Focus feel free to feed me. Or Denison Marrs. Or Pedro the Lion.
