Reply To: Drinking With You (Chords)

[suuuupaadave]

After discussing on the other thread, I decided to make a tab based on the live performance of this from Northampton. This song has a lot of tricky fingerpicking and a few chords that can be tough to grab unless you really practice them a lot. Because this song has so many chords, I am putting them in alphabetical order so you can easily reference the list when a chord you don’t know comes up. This took a bit longer to figure out than I had hoped but I think it sounds great and very close to the performance.

Capo on the 4th fret, all chords are relative to the capo.

A       A/C#          D6                                   C#7 
We work late and I pretend that I don’t notice when you’re next to me
      F#m A7 
But I do
D                          Dm                                 C#m       F#add4 Bm E Esus4
I might be mistaken, but I sometimes get the feeling that you notice too
      Dm6add9                A
And I know this place that’s near here

D   D/C#       Bm   Bm/A
Quiet dark and small
E                   D                 A              F#m                B7
When we’re finished here I think that I might want a beer, how about you?
        Bhalfdim       E             A
It’d be nice to go out drinking with you



You would think that we’ve danced around each other long enough to know
Where we stand
And my heart stops in a panic when I think how it would feel to finally hold your hand
We can wait for this to happen
Or make it happen now
Either way I think that we should start off with a drink, maybe two
And it’d be nice to go out drinking with

Bridge/Interlude

  |A A/G#|F#m A/E| 
you

  |D D/C#|Bm Bm/A||E G#dim/F|F#m A7|B7 Am|
  |A F#|Bm   |Bhalfdim||E  |Esus E|

No big deal, we can play it nice and cool and keep the pressure off
Invite our friends
And we’ll have a few too many, we’ll discreetly share a cab home when the evening ends
When we reach that awkward moment
Standing at your door
We won’t even know cause we’ll just smile and let it go and sail on through
And it’d be nice to go out drinking with you

Note 1: When the F#add4 chord is played, the B note is played open. Before switching to the next chord Bm, make sure to lead into it by barring the second fret just after you’ve played the open B note. Watch the video and listen to this part if what I’m saying makes no sense.

Note 2: When playing the bridge, I tried my best to make the brackets represent one measure of 4/4 time where each chord is played for two beats.

Note 3: Here’s the link to the video for anyone who needs a guide until I can do a lesson video. Thanks to mtgordon for filming and posting this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLWwqE3b-xg
