I think this song is trying to be too clever by half… you don’t need to have all these chord changes when you sing along with it…
It’s in e flat so if you want to sing along with him, change the song into D (select + 2 on the transpose thing) and put the capo in the first fret. There are some other chord additions that are helpful but, it’s good you can play it with this.
Thanks
It’s Gb diminished, not Gb.
I play the version -5. The chorus sounds better to me (and is easier to play) like that:
G7 C A G Em C
Like a Bridge over troubled wa-ter
if the Gb gets too much to handle you can just play G!
Sorry still learning i guess just leave it in c and put the capo on the third fret and thanks so much for this again I am having fun with it.
I found that the Gb that is given in the chord diagrams at the top of the page to be clunky and honestly didn’t sound too good. Much better I found (especially if fingerpicking) is to finger the F and then use the alternate Gb of 2-0-2-0. Much easier to transition and sounds better also I think…also, playing just an Am rather than the A7sus4 and A7 works alright…I love how the possibilities for all kinds of fine tuning when playing on this song really brings it alive in certain parts
actually fairly easy to play as long as you’ve got good chord transitioning down.
