Highlighted Show chord diagrams
http://blitzentrapper.net/ This is a great song, interesting chord changes. I've written out exactly how I play it, thus the seemingly staggering list of chords -- while there are a lot of different ones, some are repeats of the same chords on parts of the neck. I'm just trying to be helpful by writing them all out, in the order they appear. Chords Used: D: xx0232 G(open): 320033 F#7: 242322 Bm: x24432 C: x35553 G(barre): 355433 F1: 133211 Eb: x68886 Bb/D: x587xx C7: x35353 F2: x8-10-10-10-8 Bb1: 688766 Bb2: x13331 A1: 577655 E(barre): x79997 G#: 466544 C#: x46664 F#: 244322 E(open): 022100 A(open): x02220 D7: x57575 D G(open) Your eyelids are made of lead F#7 Bm You can't keep them up C G(barre) Cause its sleepytime F1 Eb Bb/D C7 And that's no crime in the western world Cause when the sun goes down Eb You’re bound to follow through Bb/D Sleeping through the afternoon F2 Eb Bb/D C7 I just can't seem to leave my room Eb Bb/D Waiting for the moon and a love so true C7 It's gonna see me through Eb Bb1 You know it's gonna see me through D G(open) F#7 Bm C G(barre) F1 Eb Bb/D C7 Cause when the sun goes down Eb I'm gonna make like a tree and bloom Bb/D Sleeping through the afternoon F2 Eb Bb/D C7 I just can’t seem to leave my room Eb Bb/D Waiting for the moon and a love so true C7 It’s gonna see me through Eb Bb1 You know it’s gonna see me through (Even though the last part ends on Bb and this part starts on Bb, I change from Bb1 to Bb2 to get closer to the lower F, there's a pause anyway, might as well.)
