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!
This is a simple song to learn, and, as opposed to the album version,
the acoustic (EP) version can be played by yourself, without the need of a back-up band
an electric guitarist.
I believe the tuning is standard, with a capo on the 1st, but you can choose to tune it up,
or ignore the capo, since it's only a half-step difference.
Just listen to the song and you'll get the timings.
Also, you can add little transitional chords (normally, in this song, a D transitions a
to Em nicely, or vice versa),
and since some parts of the song itself are hard to hear, there may be a few incorrect chords,
or a missed one here or there, but what I've got here is good for solo performance.
Chords used: (from high E to low E)
G: 330023
Em: 330220
D: 330002
C: 330233
Verse(s):
G
I'm wide awake and so alive
Em D
Ringing like a bell
G
Tell me this is paradise
Em D
And not some place I fell
G
Cus I keep on falling down
Chorus:
Em D C G
I wanna feel the car crash, I wanna feel it capsize
Em D
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
C G
Til I'm satisfied
Em D C G
I wanna feel the crash, cus I'm dyin on the inside
Em D
I wanna let go and know that I'll be
C G
Alright, alright
[Verse 2 is the same chords as Verse 1, and then one more Chorus]
Solo/Breakdown:
C C C C C C G
So right
C C C C C C G D C G
So wrooooooong
G (quick transitional D)
I'm wide awake and so.... alive
[Chorus once more]
