Phil Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well that was unsatisfying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reagent Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Its capo 5, the chords are: some sort of modified G, don't know the exact namee-0B-3G-0 D-0A-2E-3 Anyway we'll call this G*. The chords go G* -> Bm -> G* -> C/G (332010) -> regular G (320033) -> F -> G* You should be able to figure out how the chords are picked through by watching the DVD. He does something a little different with the G* though that is worth tabbing: e|------0-----0-----0------------------ B|--------3-----3----------0----------- G|----------0-----0----0h3---0--------- D|-0-0--------------------------------- A|-2-2--------------------------------- E|-3-3--------------------------------- Verses go like this:(G*) The family garden is a special placeIn sun and shade there, (Bm) I was raised(G*)Voices fade away and (C/G)rooms are rearranged(G)Now I'm the family (F)gardiner (G*) If anyone knows what the ending chords to the song are please let me know. Thought I'd mention that One by One is played capo 5 also, intro chords G F Em C. On the DVD Jeff adds a somewhat fancy element to the song that makes it sound really good - hes sounding the B string harder while strumming the chords. For the G and C chords he is pulling off the B string before changing to the next chord. Sounds awesome to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
