xOur_Song_by_Joe_Henry
Written_down_by_Daan_Bijdevaate
The_chord_progression_for_this_song_is_almost
entirely_the_same:
G_–_G/F#_-_Em_–_D
G_–_G/F#_-_Em_–_C
G_–_G/F#_-_Em_–_D
C_____________-_D
This_song_is_very_subtle,_in_my_opinion_you
should_not_play_every_string_of_every_chord
all_the_time._It’s_a_matter_of_taste_which
strings_you_pick._I’ll_give_an_example_of
how_I_would_play_the_first_line_from
the_intro:
__G_________G/F#_______Em__________D
e----------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------|
G-0-let_it_ring--------------------------------|
D-0-let_it_ring-------2-------------0----------|
A-x-------------------2------------------------|
E-3---------2---------0------------------------|
In_my_playing,_this_the_most_subtle_and_quiet
way_I_do_it._As_you_can_see,_the_main_focus
is_on_the_bass_notes._I_really_like_to_let
the_open_strings_of_the_G_chord_ring_through,
when_I_play_the_F#_bass_note.
You_can_expand_this_when_the_song_develops,
for_the_dynamic_aspects._Then_you_can_pick
more_strings_from_the_chords,_but_then_again,
pick_wisely!
