Members noize Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm trying to learn this arrangement of a song by the Handsome Family. The version I'm trying to learn is a cover by Davie Lawson. It's pretty straightforward but I'm, embarrassingly, stuck on this chord, maybe you guys could help me out. 0KpNd8fKxyM It's the chord right after the E in the last line of the second verse. Sounds like some kind of E variant, but I can't figure it out. It's also after the G in the chorus. Chords not relevant to capo, obv. The one I can't figure out is labeled as "_?_". Edit: HC killed my formatting but you get the idea. Here's what I got so far... E A E We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest G A E G A EGiant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream E A EI wanted to kiss you, but I wasn't sure how G A E G A ELike those Indians, lost in the rain forest E A EForced to drag burning wood wherever they went G A E G A E _?_ EThey had all forgotten, how to start a fire Chorus:G _?_ Thanks!

Members 1001gear Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 If you use the tags the format will stay put. What's the clock # at your chord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noize Posted March 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 First at 0:39 in the intro, then again at 1:28ish. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 B7 x21202 (relative to capo) Also, they had _long_ forgotten how to start a fire. Cheers, GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonfinn Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think it's B7(add sus4)/E Not as complicated as the title suggests. He's playing (Capo=0):-0--0--2--1--2--0- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poparad Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think it's B7(add sus4)/ENot as complicated as the title suggests. He's playing (Capo=0):-0--0--2--1--2--0- Well, it need not be such a complicated name. Sus replaces the 3rd with a 4th, while add just adds a 4th, so having both in the name is contradictory. B7add4 is all that's needed (well, B7add4/E). However, because it's a 7th chord, B11/E is even more correct, and simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this day forward, I'm going to call it "Paul" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 It's funny, I've always "optionally" played the F# on the top E string with that chord, seeing it as basically the same sound, calling it B7 anyhow. I agree that the top F# is not being played. If I was covering this, I might or might not play it depending on my mood... GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
