Post subject: | England chords (help!) |
Hi. Let England Shake really has me by the throat, and I've been playing many of the songs - thanks mostly to chords posted here! I've tried to figure out England on my own, and am getting thrown off by the bridge/coda. For the first part of the song, I'm playing basically Am D G D. Code: Am D G D Am D
Am D G D Am D Am D G D I live and die through England Am D Through England Am It leaves a sadness D G D Am D Remedies never were within my reach Am D G I cannot go on as I am D Am D A withered vine reaching from the country Am D G That I love D Am England D You leave a taste A bitter one ????? I have searched for your springs But people, they stagnate with time Like water, like air To you, England, I cling Undaunted, never failing love for you England |

As far as I know she plays most of the LES guitar songs (except "LES" and "Bitter Branches") with a capo. She might use a capo in the 5th fret for "England", which would allow an "Em" start. |

I had a rough transcription saved somewhere but I'm almost certain there's a capo on the 8th fret. Dm, Am, C/G or some of the chords... I'll tab it out fully in a few days, if you can wait that long. |

I certainly can. That would be much appreciated! I assumed there was a capo in use, but I don't use one often myself, so... |

It's 7th capo. Dm, Em, C, Em, F I live and die through England F, Em G Through England, it leaves a sadness... Repeat... Then the climax is G, B, C, B |

It sounds right, but she doesn't really hit a "B" in the last part, according to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbReim77Yfw I think it's a B7. It also sounds right if you strum all the strings |

Have been picking up the guitar for about 6 months or so and you lot have really helpful, cos you probably know it all seems crazy at the start and every little bit helps..... Just found this video and its really helping me understand, not just the chords, so I thought I'd make it my first post here in Your Beautiful Pen. Hope it might help someone else. |

I think this is great. These chords have a great touch to it which makes me want to compose my own music and also write a separate lyrics. I have tried the same chord with so many lyrics it works amazingly better than the original. --------------------------------------- BLUE FLOYD Meaningful Use Attestation --------------------------------------- |
