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 sounding song and easy to pick up the picking technique used too!
If you want to play it same as in the song the rough picking pattern is below, but it does change in several
places so you'll need to listen to it to pick it all up accurately:
A D
e|-----------------------------------------------------------||
B|-----------------------------------------------------------||
G|---------------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-||
D|---------------------7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-||
A|-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-----------||
E|-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-----------------------------------------||
(Palm muting when playing root the root notes!)
Alternatively you can just use standard chords, it still sounds good!
...Verse 1...
A
You got foreign lovers
D
Five or six, now, don't you?
A
You got their pictures up on your walls
D
Just a minute and you're lost
A D
Well, the one in Chicago wasn't there anymore
A D
Because that thing in Berlin wasn't anyone's fault
...Chorus...
A
I got no idea what's fair
Bm
But I knew before
D
You got foreign lovers
A
You got foreign lovers
...Verse 2...
A
But I wanted to tell you
D
To take the pictures and rip them up
A
No better feeling to know about
D
When there's no one to follow home
A
Well it made no difference then
D
And no it wasn't that we weren't friends
A D
Anyway, in Berlin, you never had a dumb chance
...Chorus...
A
I got no idea what's fair
Bm
But I knew before
D
You got foreign lovers
A
You got foreign lovers
...Interlude...
A D (X4)
A
...Chorus...
Bm
But everything good will come to an end
D
You got foreign lovers
A
You got foreign lovers
...Verse 3...
A D
Well, the picture's only alive for you inside of that frame
A
Not a lover that leaves you cold
D
Oh, in the kitchen beside your toaster
...Chorus...
A
I got no idea what's fair
Bm
But I knew before
D
You got foreign lovers
A
You got foreign lovers
