Dido - Thank You guitar chord
!!!To Guitar Tab Universe and any other guitar site that'll get this tab!!!
This is an updated version of my previous attempt.
That is... something like http://guitartabs.cc/tablocate.php?filename=/d/dido/thank_you.crd
You should delete the previous from your archive and replace it with this one.
IMHO you should also delete the 3 other versions, this is much better :-)
Thank You - Dido
Chords, lyrics & various comments.
"Various comments" 'cos they told me this song is a favorite of beginners... so here
and there I give some useful tips.
An easy song. Believe it or not, second time I listened to it I got the chords.
Played with a capo on the 4th fret.
Play | Em C | 8 times for the intro. C may be a Cmaj7, that is, E to e, X32000 or X32400.
Then | Em C | D G D | is the verse.
| Em C | D G D |
| Em C | D G D |
| Em C | Em/B C |
D/F# is 20023X. If you can't help strumming all the six strings, play 200230, as in
Pearl Jam's "Immortality".
Em C D G D/F# Em
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
C D G D/F# Em
The morning rain cloud's up my window, and I can't see at all
C D G D/F# Em
And even if I could, it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall
C Em/B C
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Play | Em C | twice, and then verse again.
Em C D G D/F# Em
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
C D G D/F# Em
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
C D G D/F# Em
And even if I'm there they'll all imply that I might not last the day
C Em/B C
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Then turn to | G | C | G | C | G | C | Bm | Am |
Repeat this 5 times (1st as chorus, 2nd instrumental, 3rd verse, 4th and 5th chorus)
Stress the B on A string when passing from G to C (that is, play a G/B x20033).
You can pick the right rythm for this if you look at the next verse (Push the door...).
G C
And I want to thank you
G C
For giving me the best day of my life
G C
And oh, just to be with you
Bm Am
Is having the best day of my life
| G | C | G | C | G | C | Bm | Am |
Try a little soloing here using the G major scale
-|-*-|---|-*-|(*)|---|-*-|-e
-|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|---|-*-|-B
-|(*)|---|-*-|---|-*-|---|-G
-|-*-|---|-*-|---|-*-|---|-D
-|-*-|---|-*-|-*-|---|-*-|-A
-|-*-|---|-*-|(*)|---|---|-E
This? How to call it? Should be a fretboard with 6 frets.
If you want to play a G scale, choose the frets so that the
(*) are G's. So, those 6 fret would be 0 to 5, or 12 to 17.
Wanna play a C scale? Use frets from 5 to 10. Of course you
can play scales all over the fretboard, but this is a good
beginning.
Hey: in this song you use a capo so that you actually play
the scale on frets from 4 to 9. A B scale. Not common. Where else?
John Mellencamp's "What If I Came Knocking", I think.
Then:
G G/B C G/B G
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
G/B C G/B G
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
G/B C Bm
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
Am
Because you're near me...
G C
And I want to thank you
G C
For giving me the best day of my life
G C
And oh, just to be with you
Bm Am
Is having the best day of my life
G C
And I want to thank you
G C
For giving me the best day of my life
G C
And oh, just to be with you
Bm Am
Is having the best day of my life
That's all.
