Voltaire - Brains chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
This is the WHOLE song, with the bits of dialogue from the episode played during the solo 1 , solo 2, and da-da bits. The how-to-play video by Voltaire himself doesn't explain it very clearly in my opinion; he has chord fingerings right but his tuning is off and doesn't call the chords what they actually are. Don't get me wrong-the guy's amazing and I have nothing against him! Enjoy playing Brains! Chords Drop C# tuning: C#m- 022000 G#7- x21202 F#m- x02210 Standard tuning: C#m- x46654 G#7- 464544 F#m- xx4675 (or x57765) A capo helps but isn't required, put it on the 4th fret in standard tuning if you choose to play that way. Standard tuning relative to capo: C#m- x02210 G#7- 020100 F#m- xx0231 Brains by Voltaire tab Intro/Solo 1 C#m G#7 C#m F#m G#7 (play twice for Intro) Da-da C#m for 2 bars Verse C#m Well hello there little boy.
