Chapman Tracy - For My Lover guitar chord
#
From: ihateuw@u.washington.edu (David Wong)
For My Lover:
I use "^" for hammer-on, and the "d" and "u" to indicate downaward and
upward strums. Here's the intro:
Em G D Cmaj7
d u d u d u d u
e-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
B--T--0---0-----------0---0-----------|3---3---3---0---------|
G--A--0---0-----------0---0-----------|2---2---2---0---------|
D--B--2---2-------0---0---0-------0---|0---0---0---2---------|
A-----2---2---0^2-----2---2---0^2-----|------------3---------|
E-----0---0-----------3---3-----------|----------------------|
The intro is repeated, and then:
Em G
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.
Em G
Twenty thousand dollar bail
D A
For my lover, for my lover.---
C
And everybody thinks
A(add9) (x02420)
I'm the fool.
D
They don't get---any
C
love from you.
Em
Things we won't do for love---
A(add9)
Em
I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G
risk my life so I could have you---
D
you- you- you- you...
Cmaj7 (x32000)
you- you -you -you -you.
Repeat this progression with these lyrics:
Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
for my lover, for my lover.
Dope me up and I tell them lies
for my lover, for my lover.---
And everybody thinks... etc.
Stay on the Cmaj7 the second time through an extra measure, for:
Cmaj7
I follow my heart
Em
and leave my head to ponder
D
deep in this love--- no
Cmaj7
man can shake.
Keep with these chord changes for the rmaining lyrics:
I follow my heart
and leave my mind to wonder,
is this love worth- the sacri-
fices I make?
Now repeat the from the "Two weeks in a Virginia jail" verse.
Why?:
The chords used in this are Bm (x24432), G (320003), A (x02220),
D(add9) (xx0230), and A(add9) (x02420). The intro is merely alternating
between Bm and G, and adding hammers-on. In the case of the Bm hammer-on the
three fingers other than the one barring at the second fret. With the G hammer
on the pointer finger. After that:
Bm
Why do the babies starve, there's enough food to feed the world?
G A
Why, when there's so many of us are there people still alone?
Bm
Why are the missiles called peacekeepers, when they're aimed to kill?
G A
Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home?
D(add9)
Love is hate
A(add9)
war is peace,
Bm
no is yes,-
G
we're all free.---- But, some-
Bm
body's gonna have to answer, the time is coming soon. Amidst
G
all these questions and contradictions there're
A
some who seek the truth. Tell me...
Then repeat.
She's Got Her Ticket:
Chords are C, G and Am.
Mountains O' Things
Chords in this one are Am, Dm, F and G.
All That You Have Is Your Soul:
Basic fingerpicking pattern embellished with hammers-on, changing
between A, E, D, and D(add9) (xx0230). I think that she might play this capoed
at the fifth fret, but am not sure. The version I do is without a capo.
Hammer-on a "d" on the A chord pattern, a "c" on the E, a "g" on the D, and a
"d" on the D(add9).
Coming next: April Come She Will by Simon & Garfunkel.
