This song is not made of open major chords! its made mostly of 5ths,
This may not be perfect (although it might be), but its much closer.
** So turn down the fat 'E' to a 'D' so that your guitar is tuned so that the first
chord of the *verse* is an 'A' on your guitar **
thinnest to thickest :
A5 is : X X 2 2 0 X (its the same finger position for all 5ths:)
C5 is X X 5 5 3 X
D5 is X X 7 7 5 X
G is best: X X 0 0 X 5
Em is X (0) (0) 2 2 2
D7 2 1 2 0 0 0
E/D 1 0 0 0 X X (he appears to play the thin 'f' here)
IN FACT, maybe even drop the 3rd note for the 5th chords
(which is the octave of the first note anyway, and makes it more grittier like the song
so A5= [x x x 2 0 x ]etc
when you see E* play (0)(0) 1 2 2 2
for half a bar half a bar of the 7th: 0 0 1 0 2 2
except of course directly before the verses when its just half of it.
so it goes:
*
Sun yeah, the size of a beach ball
the earth shall be the size of a sweet sweet pea
*
let it be, as it goes, blow your nose
yeah yeah yeah I hear yer
I hear yer calling
electric lightning lights the night until the morning
*
I caught you stoned only everyday no way
Ahhhhh ahhhhhh
*
Moon yeah, that turns the tides
on the ocean bed a starfish starts to slide
into the sand the way it planned
*
right on time
you can see the sunshine in the rain
it's all been done before that's what she says
C5 E* END:[X X X 2 2 2] A5
I can see you got the sunshine in the rain
