Am G Am ============================================================= I arranged the song in Am using barre chords to match the original chord centers: Am: 577555 G: 355433 F: 133211 C: 332010 Bb: x13331 or 688766 While NIWS is generally played with a strum (on solo guitar) to imitate the original sleepy sound of the Melotron, the song can be rearranged slightly for a more delicate sound using arpegiated chords: Am (barre 5): E||---------------------------|-- B||-------5-----------5-------|-- G||-----5---5-------5---5-----|-- D||---7-------7---7-------7---|-- etc, etc A||-------------7-------------|-- E||-5-------------------------|-- -- Douglas French dfrench@site.gmu.edu
