Post by: D4ve on May 23, 2004, 02:17:53 PM
Does anyone have a link to a stream of the song Because? I am trying to write it out and I can't remember the bridge. Short of going to buy the cd I haven't been able to get a listen to it. And it is really bugging me. lol. :(
Thanks in advance
Dave

Anyone wants to share I'll send it off to ya. Power Tab 1.7. Might be fun to collaborate on it. The timing is off but it can be tweeked when it is done. The Power Tab program is free and it is fun to work with.
It is a good flat picking tune.also a good one to chord phrase.
Thanks
Dave

Hey....I play and sing that! I start in G.

I think the bridge (It's right to say I don't think of you, etc)

Chords: Am7 D7 G Em Am7 D7 A7 D7 D7aug (XX0312)

Play with one chord per beat.....it'll give you the idea

Then back to Verse, in G.

I really like the use of augmented chords in this!!!

Hey...I just realized...that was the chorus. Here's the bridge (where the organ solo is on the recording):

1st 4 chords are G or variants of G. XX0003, XX1003, XX2003, XX3003

then Am7 (or a C, whichever sounds best to you)  D7,  G,   then Eflat to D     and you're back on the verse.

D4ve, see where I modified my original response. I goofed up, but went home and played it a little and realized I'd given you some bum steers. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, what a nice song, eh?
