However, it's just a bit (one or two notes) different from the recorded version. In the studio version you can definitely hear a 'G' note in the Em-Cmaj7 part of the arpeggio. To get that note in there, you can try these alternate arpeggio fingerings: INTRO: Em Cmaj7 D Bm7 Em Cmaj7 D E ---0-------0-----|-----------------|---0-------0-----|-----------------| B -----0-------0---|---3-------3-----|-----0-------0---|---------3-------| G -------0-------0-|-----2-------2---|-------0-------0-|-----2-------2---|4x D -2---------------|-------4-------4-|-2---------------|---4---4---4---4-| A ---------3-------|-5-------2-------|---------3-------|-5---------------| E -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| 1ST VERSE: Em Cmaj7 Bm7 Em Cmaj7 D E ---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----|-----------------| B -----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|---------3-------| G -------0---------|-----------------|-------0---------|-----2-------2---|4x D -2---------------|-----------------|-2---------------|---4---4---4---4-| A ---------3-----3-|-2-----2---------|---------3-----3-|-5---------------| E -----------------|---------3-----3-|-----------------|-----------------| Transition to 2nd Verse: F#m Dmaj7 E C#m7 F#m Dmaj7 E E ---2-------2-----|-----------------|---2-------2-----|-----------------| B -----2-------2---|---5-------5-----|-----2-------2---|---------5-------| G -------2-------2-|-----4-------4---|-------2-------2-|-----4-------4---|2x D -4---------------|-------6-------6-|-4---------------|---6---6---6---6-| A ---------5-------|-7-------4-------|---------5-------|-7---------------| E -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| 2ND VERSE: Gt1 F#m Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m Dmaj7 E E ---2-------2-----|---2-------2-----|---2-------2-----|-----------------| B -----2-------2---|-----2-------2---|-----2-------2---|---------5-------| G -------2---------|-----------------|-------2---------|-----4-------4---|2x D -4---------------|-----------------|-4---------------|---6---6---6---6-| A ---------5-----5-|-4-----4---------|---------5-----5-|-7---------------| E -----------------|---------5-----5-|-----------------|-----------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: -For a clear, close-up view of the opening arpeggio being played, see this video (from 0:29 to 0:47): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCjz00f5kjU -Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time. -Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the downbeats (1234) fall. ^...bend (w=whole tone) ~...vibrato r...release bend =...hold note h...hammer on /...slide up p...pull off \...slide down (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
