Half A Person

[The_Draize_Train]

Anyone play this? I have these chords for it, but I can never seem to get it sounding right - maybe all the chords are not correct?


Intro riff:
|---5-4-------------------------|
|--5----5-----------------------|
|-4-----------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|


Bm E RIFF1 Bm E RIFF1

Call me morbid, call me pale. I've spent six years on your trail

Bm A G E Esus4 E

six long years on your trail.

Bm E RIFF 1 Bm E RIFF 1

Call me morbid, call me pale. I've spent six years on your trail

Bm A G E Esus4 E

six full years of my life on your trail.

Gb G(bar) C(bar) G Gb G(bar)

And if you have five seconds to spare, then I'll tell you the story of my life.

D A Gb Bm G

Sixteen clumsy and shy, I went to London and I

D A Gb

I booked myself in at the Y W C A

A E RIFF 1 A E RIFF 1

I said "i like it here, can I stay?", "i like it here, can I stay?",

Bm A G E Esus4 E

Do you have a vacancy for a back scrubber?

These are the only changes I'd make. Other than that you've got it down.

I use:

Intro:Gmaj7-E

Pt1: x2 Gmaj7-E x2
Bm-A-Asus2-G-E-A

Pt2: F#m-F#-G-D-A
F#m-F#-G-C/G-G

Pt3 D-A-F#-Bm-G
D-A-F#m-F#

if i remember correctly you repeat that three times and then outro
i got this from the louder than bombs book that was uploaded
sounds pretty good to me

check out this version here. Marr originally played it in Nashville tuning, using the high strings from a 12 string set on a 6 string. I think this is as close as I've heard.

[static electrician]

it'll go easier if you get a capo on II (but it's not necessary) -- makes all the 2nd fret notes open and jangly. If you're playing on an electric, you'll want to cut the bass a bit (bridge pickup if you can) and boost the mids/highs.

 

[Hidden By Rags]

These are the chords I use, taken from this version in ult-guitar
it was easy enough for me to learn and sounds good to my ears.

Gmaj7 E7 Bm A6 G.
F# GDA

Similar to evergreennightmare's. Ah, never thought to compare these to the one from the Louder book.
