Post by: alf wiedersehen on January 14, 2014, 08:29:13 PM
Hey, guys

I've been looking for the chords to this song and they seem to be different everywhere I look.
Can anyone help me out with the actual chords?

Thanks

Actually, I am playing it on piano. So, thanks  :)

You agree with Surfermoon's chords, then?

Although for guitar it might be a bit difficult, if you're playing it on piano, a C/Bb will sound a little more authentic to the original, for all the Cs in Mikie's version. :)

Even the C7's?

I agree with Francis Greene's chords.  Guy's got the best ears in the UK.  And Zach's no dummy......give it a shot!

Nope, C7s have a C in the bass.

I suppose that makes sense. Having a Bb in the bass would let me to do the bounce to the C, like all those wonderful bass lines in the recording.

Francis Greenes charts are great. I remember coming across them in the very early days of the internet. They went offline for a while but thankfully came back.
