Staralfur - Sigur Ros Most of this was worked out using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn8j4LxQAMQ although the song order is different to the cd. Just to confuse you I've kept the original order. Also the video is in E and not the half note up on the cd. *this version is intended to be an acoustic version really but I've added some other bits too. jimisjoint@hotmail.com There's a video of exactly how I play it here (capo on 1st fret): http://www.esnips.com/doc/bed96443-e1e4-4008-8b10-f9c3cb2276b6/staralfur Pre-Intro: violins start with: E--12---------|--14----------------| x2 B--14---------|--15----------------| G-(14)--------|-(14)---------------| D-(14)--------|--12----------------| A--12---------|--------------------| These are also the verse chords but you can just play A and D basically. Then for the intro you could play -0----5----3----2--|-2----2----9---10------| -2-----------------|-3---------------------| -2-----------------|-2---------------------| -2-----------------|-0---------------------| -0-----------------|-----------------------| -x-----------------|-----------------------| or on an acoustic this sounds really good: | A | A7 A7add11 | (A7add 11 = x02022) | D | Dmaj7 D | Piano bit that goes on top: A |e--------17-------17-------|--------------17----------| |B--14-------14-------14----|-14----14--------14----14-| |G-(2)-14-------14-------14-|----14----14--------14----| |D-(2)----------------------|--------------------------| |A--0-----------------------|--------------------------| |E--------------------------|--------------------------| D |e--------17-------17-------|--------------17----------| |B--15-------15-------15----|-15----15--------15----15-| |G-(2)-14-------14-------14-|----14----14--------14----| |D--0-----------------------|--------------------------| |A--------------------------|--------------------------| |E--------------------------|--------------------------| So: | A | A7 A7add11 | | D | Dmaj7 D | x2 [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/sigur-ros/104147.html ] A D blá nótt yfir himininn A D* *play D for A bar Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D5 blá nótt yfir mér a beat each for the second bar A D A horf-inn út um glugann minn međ hendur D C#dim faldar undir kinn G D A F#/D hugsum daginn minn í dag og í gćr A D blá nóttfötin klćđa mig i, A D* beint upp i rúm A D breiđi mjúku sćngina A D C#dim loka augunum G D C#dim ég fel hausinn undir vćng Refrain: Bm Bm/A A G A A7 D/C# starir á mig lítill ál-fur Bm Bm/A A G A A7 D hleypur ađ mer en hreyfist ekki A** G G/F# **(confused by this bit - A sounds ur stađ - - sjalfur better but it looks like he's G D playing G/F# on the vid. I play A) starálfur Back to the intro over | A | A7 A7add11 | D | Dmaj7 D | x2 etc A D Opna augun stírurnar úr A D* trygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki) A D kommin aftur og alltalltilć A D C#dim samt ventar eitthvađ G D*** ***Here I play the D for most of the bar eins og alla veggina then Dsus2, D, Dsus4 quickly before the instrumental to mimic the orchestra The instrumental interplay: | A | Asus2 A | D | D/C# | Bm | | G | D/F# | A | | A7 | D | D Dsus4 D | | D/C# | Then the orchestra plays the refrain chords, followed by | D G/D D | G | G | G D | D | A7 | D/F# | x2 (actual bar timing a bit sketchy) Then A** G G/F# ur stađ - - sjalfur G D starálfur Notes: For acoustics sake: C#dim- x4535x (he plays the C# bass while the orchestra plays the remainder) I use 3x0003 for G G/D chord at the end is xx0033 G/F# 2x0033 |
