E|---5-----4-----8-----6-----6-----5-----3-----0-----|
The strumming/picking for this song is pretty simple, at the beginning he plays just the
note and then strums the rest of the chord.
When the song speeds up he plays the second from bottom string in the chord then the top
strings, and then the bottom string of the chord and the top four strings.
For example when playing Dm:
e|------5------5-----|
B|------6------6-----|
G|------7------7-----|
D|------7------7-----|
A|---5---------------|
E|----------5--------|
PLease note that the same applies for when he switches to Bb in the fast part but after
whilehe just strums the top four strings with rests in between.
The strumming pattern for the bit in the fast paced section is D U D U and i think its
easy to work out how he plays it at the end when it slows down.
The E major at the end is played with a slide up (or maybe a hammer):
e|-----0----------|
B|-----0----------|
G|-----1----------|
D|-----2>3--------|
A|-----2----------|
E|-----0----------|
The words are a bit sketchy 'cus I got them off a websight but enjoi!
Intro: Dm
Dm Dm
Hello Sophie, how are you?
Dm Bb
I hope that everything is going well for you today
Dm
I like to sleep because when I sleep
Dm Bb
I dream of places I would be if I weren't here right now
Dm
Like underground
Dm
Hearing the sounds that humans make
Bb
When they have things that they can not talk about
Dm
So they grow horny in little clubs
With wine and cigarettes
Bb Dm
That serve to hide the dirty floors
I think of carpet floors and strange smells
Bb
Welcome to the University
You'd better watch your calories
Dm
The dry-erase board on your front door
Bb C
It shows the world your personality at the University
C
And if you're lucky maybe
Bb
Your room mate will be Sophie
A A G F
Dm
She'll make you red rose tea with honey-ee
