Song: Better Man
Band: Littlest Man Band
Album: Better Book Ends
Tuning: Standard
Acoustic
This song extremely simple. The chords used are the following:
:320033
:X32033
:X32010
Dadd4add9:X5403X
Quick note: the transition from G to Cadd9 is always this:
E|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
B|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
G|---0--------0-0-0-----0---------0-0-0---|
D|---0--------2-2-2-----0---------0-0-0---|
A|---2---2h3-3--3-3-----2---------2-2-2---|
E|-3------------------3-----------3-3-3---|
Also, in the chorus, Dadd4add9 doesn't slide back down to C until around the word "be"
but it's a long chord name and a pain in the ass to fit in there. Listen to the song,
you'll figure the strumming and everything out.
(s=slide to)
Intro during horn solo is just G to Cadd9 to G repeating
I'm not the sharpest shard of glass from this broken window
But there's a few things that I've learned that you might want to know
That misery is a talent you can hone
And sorrow is a product we all can't wait to own
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
But I'm just trying to be a better man
Flesh and blood cover the statues on the street
They'll treat you like a friend but they stare at you like fresh meat
And the porcelain teeth that smile in your face
Can't wait for you to fall so they can take your place
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
And I'm just trying to be a better man
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
Yeah I'm just trying to be a better man
Horn solo: (is basically one verse and chorus without words)
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
Lie and cheat your friends while you still have time
And downplay the drama while you figure out a chever rhyme
And smile with a semi-sympathetic tone
Can't appreciate good friends until you find you're all alone
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
But I'm just trying to be a metter man
s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s
Yeah I'm just trying to be a better man
To end repeat G Cadd9 G and end.
If you're bored enough, I'd appreciate feedback
