The guitar in this song is very boring (theres about 3 playing the game chord at
times), so I tabbed out
the rhythm as it was a guitar playing it (instead of keys). I found the easiest way to
it is to use fingering
like this:
Em D Em G Em
e-7-5-7-7-7---|
B-8-7-8-8-8---|
G-9-7-9-7-9---|
D-9-7-9---9---|
A-7-5-7---7---|
E-------------|
For the G, rather than playing that fingering exactly like it's written, get your
back into the barred Em
position and remove your ring finger and pinky. This way, you can quickly move from the
to the G and back to
the Em. This makes the progression much more accessible. Enjoy!
