Okay, this is how *I* play it. I listened to the recording and the first
chord is ACTUALLY an E-flat (which would mean you tune down 1/2 step ep
and start on E). However, I figured out a really easy version that's un
fun to play and is recognizable...
Your chords are:
(str EADGBe)
D5 xx023x
D xx0232
Dsus2 xx0230
Dsus4 xx0233
E 022100
G 3x0033
First, I'm gonna define what will be referred to below as "D-fill":
you play D D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
It looks complicated if you're not familiar with the pattern, but in
reality it's pretty easy. You just either remove your middle finger fromm
the standard D chord or add your pinky on the 3rd fret of the high E.
If you're a beginner, practice it once or twice. It really adds to the
song otherwise you'd just be droning along on the D for the chorus. es.
"Divine Thing"
by the Soup Dragons
Intro: D5 D D D5
D5 D D D5
D
You are the one supreme being
E G D D-fill
Just dressed to kill and fulfill just any dream
D
And you are the one heart's desire
E G D D-fill
All hips and lips made to trick just any fool.
CHORUS:
E G D-fill
But I could have sworn that you were an angel
E G D
'Cause you're a sweet, sweet, sweet divine thing.
E G D-fill
But I should have known that you were the devil
E G D
Dressed like a sweet, sweet, sweet divine thing.
And you lack the one thing that is devotion
Not always there in your hair, in a daze.
Just too mixed up in your own emotions
Your vanity will always be your greatest thing.
(CHORUS)
(D-fills throughout outro)
Divine thing.
Divine thing.
Divine thing. (etc.)
Dat be all. 'Tis a rather simple song. I would assume it would get a bitit
more complicated if you were to play it true to the record, but why make it
hard on yourself?...
Good luck.
