Matisyahu - Crossroads chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Matisyahu's guitarist plays it with a capo on 6. I shall show you how to play it with a capo on 6 and how to play it with regular chords. Capo 6: Em|G|C Em|C|Cadd9 The chords named Cadd9 is an open C shape a whole step up; i wasn't sure how to call the chord so i named it Cadd9 (open C shape a whole step up). He plays those two combination sets of chords, and he varies the chords order in the chorus. You must figure out by ear when he's playing which chord. But ive given you the order in which he plays 9/10 of the song. You must also figure out the pattern which he plays with your ears, it is not a difficult pattern. The melody that keeps coming back is: Just when you hit the first chords (Em) you play this: ''(root on capo, ofc.).'' e:|--0-----| b:|-3--1-0-| << melody line G:|--------| D:|--2-----| A:|--2-----| E:|--0-----| He plays it with his pinky first on the 3 fret of the b string, while he strums the first Em chords and then hits the b string on 1 and than open. While he strums he plays the meldoy. ----- The chords of the song without capo: A#m|C#|F# A#m|F#|.. this would be the shape of F# a whole step up, i havent figured out yet how to play it but i hope this tabs gives you the basis you need to play the song and fill in the resting gaps. You can play the whole song tho' with this tab and these given chords can be repeated throughout the song. ------ With capo on 6: (remeber; Cadd9 = C a whole step up, i didnt know what to call it; if u know this, please put it down below). Lyrics: Em It's like I'm walking through this kingdom of time G C Em Thus far I've done lost my mind G C Only to find the other side [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/matisyahu/381657.html ] Em Is where the world opens wide G C Em To descend these city streets late at night G C I've been searching for my bite Em They say I inspired, but I'm still looking for my fire G C These lies have got me tired I'm free falling, I'm done stalling I'm done crawling up this mountain top I won't stop till I manifest my crop The top is close I'm sky scraping They stay chasing I'm like a raisin in the sun I'm running from death's invasion They're done, I'm going gray I'm still young having mystic visions Of the one, I hear the hum, the melody comes Rushing in like some wind Em C Cadd9 Cuts close like a knife Em C Cadd9 All I got is my life Em C Cadd9 All I got I got I got Em C Cadd9 Crossroads, one million miles Em C Cadd9 I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Em C Cadd9 Crossroads, one million miles Em C Cadd9 I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Em G C Now the rain is falling drizzle dropping on the street Em Cleaning off the dirt beneath my feet G C I got the beat on repeat Em While I'm riding subway trains on a fact G C Over tracks to go crack, my heart's black But intact I've come to take the music back I'm moving forward this time you can't ignore it Put the pedal to the floor Let's take you off Through the time that has come The time has come I launch orbit I'm tight rope Walking over fiery flames, yeah hot coals I'm like water for you trolls I pay no tolls Speak to ghosts Time to go high The cross that you walk by Got my eye into Magic fly off on the broom Which way to choose I'm at the crossroads, but I'll never give my soul It's already old Em C Cadd9 Crossroads, one million miles Em C Cadd9 I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Em C Cadd9 Crossroads, one million miles Em C Cadd9 I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by I'm a slave to the throne The chariot of flames is my home I'm in a class of my own Lights out, you're all alone, with your heart of stone O-o-o-o-o-oh-oh Crossroads, one million miles I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Crossroads, one million miles I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Crossroads, one million miles I'm kicking up dirt when I fly by Crossroads, one million miles  |
