Notes: 1) I assume you've heard the song. 2) No capo - all chords are first position open. 3) For the C chords during the bridge, use a standard 1st position C but play the G on the high E string with the pinky so that the voicing moves more like the slide guitar on the album. 4) I finger the F#7b9 lick at the end of Chorus I like this: XX____ _XOOO_ |||||| first fret |||||| ------ -------| ||1111 ----> ||||---| wrapping the thumb ------ -------| makes it much easier |||2|3 (lift up '3'...) Tx|||3 to grab the G chord... ------ ------ (x = mute ; O = open) 5) The G->G/F#->Em and D(sus) stuff is very typical of Penn... I wish I had time to type in all the lovely twiddles and chord patterns, but this is the best I can do and still have a job... If you've heard the song, it'll be easy to figure out those details... "Innocent One" by Michael Penn, from the album "March" Intro (2 bars) G Verse I: Sweet Miranda brings me the wine We have had our fill of almost everything turning thistledown laughter I would take her blue cue too late I would say the words - almost anything just to catch what she's after Chorus I: But you-ou don't believe that I'm a partner in this game (sus2) (b9) how can you-ou believe that I'm the innocent one Verse II: When the bow broke in pieces we fell we would scream and shout almost anything but the point is we fell dear There will be no more wishlessness there may be some doubt no new day without best that we say farewell here Chorus II: But you-ou don't believe that I'm a party to the pain (sus2) how can you-ou believe that I'm the innocent one Bridge: I saw this girl crying by the wheel of her car she had balloons in the backseat the front door ajar she ne- ver moved so I just whispered goodbye she reminded me of you when you cry and I didn't mean to make you cry Chorus II: (chords only - no vocal) Verse I: (chords and vocal) Chorus I: (chords and vocal) A rose by any other name... still has thorns.
