Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
great song, very rare, and that's too ad because it's one of my favorites.
i used to play this song with a capo on 2, and play F, G, and Am, but
damien definitely plays it as I'm about to tab, and it sounds better the way
he does it. note* that this tab sounds good, but sometimes mimics his voice,
and therefore might not be exactly what he's playing.
put a capo on 7.
relative to the capo:
(verse chords:)
Em: 07500
D: 054030
C: 032010
(note: C and D here i have tabbed, for the sake of simplicity, with the first finger.
they could be, instead, like the Eskimo chords, without the first finger. it doesn't really
matter.)
(chorus chords:)
G: 320033
D*: 200033
D**: 200232
D: 054030
C*: (3)32033
C: 032010
Em*: 022032
(note: until the last two lines of the chorus, he barely plays the top 2-3 strings at all,
emphasizing the bottom three strings, the changing notes.)
(verse:)
Em D C
Take your hand
(D) Em D C (D)
Off me
Em D C
Understand
(D) Em D C (D)
Nothing
Em D C
I needed you
(D) Em (place/pull 7 on top E string) D C (D)
Yesterday
Em D C
I need to move
(D) Em D C
But you're in my way
(You're in my way, in my way)
(chorus:)
G
It feels like you're walking out
D* C*
You're walking out on me
G
My body is breaking down
D* C*
It's just breaking down on me
G D** Em*
It feels like you're walk-ing out
C D
On me
(interlude 1: use verse chords)
Em D C (D)
Em D C
(verse:)
Take your mind
Off me
You will find
Nothing
I need a new
Yesterday
I need to move
But you're in my way
(chorus:)
It feels like you're walking out
You're walking out on me
My body is breaking down
It's just breaking down on me
It just feels like you're walk-ing out
On me
(interlude 2:)
Em D C (D) (over and over again, underneath a subtly changing electric guitar)
(when it stagnates, it's just Em with the note B pulled (to open A) and replaced)
Em D C (D) (faster)
(chorus:)
Like you're walking out
You're walking out on me
And my body's just breaking down
It's just breaking down on me
It just feels like you're walk-ing out
On me
(repeat verse chords for outro)
final note**
this is based off of the only live version to which i, and most people out there, have access.
so obviously, if someone out there somehow has a different version, one i haven't heard,
it might not sync up perfectly. but this is the most common version of the song available.
