I Do
View chords used in this chart
Here's a pretty catchy tune from Lisa Loeb that's pretty fun playing.
My band "KUWONIC"" plays this and people enjoy it. Anyway, here's
how it goes:
INTRO/VERSES:
G-------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------3/6---6-6666-----------
E--12/6---6-6-66---5---5-5-55---3---3-3-33--------------------------
The bass in the verses plays the 4 chord progression 4 times
(Bb-A-G-Eb), but on the third and fourth ones he plays it an octave
higher:
G--------------------------------------------------------
D---8---8-8-88---7--7-7-77---5---5-5-55--58--------------
A------------------------------------------6---6-6-66----
E--------------------------------------------------------
The chorus is easy:
G-------------------------:---------------------------:
D-------------------------:---------------------------:
A--8--8-----------4-TIMES-:--------6--66-66---2-TIMES-:
E-------6--66-66----------:---8--8--------------------:
The interlude after the second chorus:
Play the lower octave verse measure once then slide up to:
(In other words, play the verse once then jump into what's below).
G-------------------10-10-------------------------------
D--------10----10-12-------12-9----9/12---7--------3~~--
A--10/12------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------
After this, the bass rests for two measures before jumping back in.
Then the chorus just repeats over and over.
I hope this helps everyone!
