Anyways, I looked at the post about the 'Lucky' chords which most of it is correct. However, after watching videos on youtube and hearing the song over and over again (which I have been doing for the past 48 hours) I noticed that the chords for the bridge and the "ohs"are a little off. "Ohs" Although it sounds like just C-Am-G, in the videos it looks like he's playing C-Am-(insert unknown chord)-G I could never get a good look at what hes actually playing. maybe its C-Am-Open G-Barre G. Help is greatly appreciated! "Bridge" Oh boy. I swear the videos are deceiving me. Although the previous post has it as F-C-G-Am which almost sounds right the video has it as something else. It looks like he plays this Dm chord... or something. Correct me if I'm wrong! Dm* e \| 0 B \| 5 G \| 5 D \| 3 A \| 5 E \| x It looks like he plays Dm-Am-G-Dm. But that last Dm* can't be right! But thats what it looks like! He also does something with he's pinky in the videos which I have no idea as to what it is. Here's the link with the best view of what he's playing (although I'm sure most of you have already seen it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wMRuA8ESio&feature=related I know I might be nitpicking but I'm a self proclaimed nitpicker! Thanks a lot for any help. i'll post back IF I magically fgure it out on my own. Thanks!

The only chord I'm not sure of is that Em he plays during the verse. He plays something up at the 7th fret i'm guessing its (0 7 5 5 5 x) sounds about right and it works. So I think I got the guitar part down... now singing it is a whole different problem!

The transition chord to the chorus is just a variation on the walking-up bass from the G chord to the Am chord. Sometimes he'll just do the bass notes 3-4-5 and later he does the bass then a chord under it. In the bridge he plays a Dm7 and a Dm9 and alternates on each beat. (some chord names typed vertically) Verse: C Am Dm7 G E7 Am Dm7 G \|--------------------------\| \|--1--1--6--3--5--7--6--3--\| \|--0--2--5--4--7--7--5--4--\| \|--2--2--7--5--6--5--7--5--\| \|--3--0--5--x--7--x--5--x--\| \|-----------3-----5-----3--\| C A D G E A D G m m 7 m m 7 7 Chorus: Am Dm7 G C C/B Am Dm7 G ( listen to get the time of the C to C/B descending bass line ) \|--3--4-\|-----\|---------(0)(0)(0)-------\| \|--3--4-\|-----\|-5--6--3--1--1--1--6--3--\| \|--4--4-\|-----\|-7--5--4--0--0--2--5--4--\| \|--5--4-\|-----\|-7--7--5--2--x--2--7--5--\| \|--5--6-\|-----\|-x--5--x--3--2--0--5--x--\| \|-3--4--\|-3-4-\|-5-----5--------------5--\| \| \| A D G C C A D G \| \| 1 2 \| m m / m m \| \| Walk-up \| 7 B 7 \| Oh's: C Am Em G (end song on C) Bridge: alternate 2x Dm7 & Dm9, Am7, G , Dm7 (Actual Plucking) \|-----------------------------------\| \|--6-5-6-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6--\| \|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5--\| \|--3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3--\| \|--5-5-5-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-5-5-5-5--\| \|----------5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3----------\| D D D D A G D m m m m m m 7 9 7 9 7 7 Last Edited By: cfolz 06/09/08 09:15 PM.
