Wouldn't it be good
De akkoorden in dit nummer
Wouldn't it be good * means: Not chords really, more bass notes. Bm I got it bad Bm You don't know how bad I got it Bm You got it easy Bm D A B* You don't know when you got it good Bm It's getting harder Bm Just keeping life and soul together Bm I'm sick of fighting C G Even though I know I should G The cold is biting F#m C#m Through each and every nerve and fibre C#m My broken spirit E/B Bm Is frozen to the core D Don't wanna be here no more C Bb Bb/G C Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Fmaj7 Bb Bb/G C Even if it was for just one day Fmaj7 Bb Bb/G C Am Dm Dm/A Dm And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away C Bb Bb/G C Wouldn't it be good to be on your side Fmaj7 Bb Bb/G C The grass is always greener over there Fmaj7 Bb Bb/G C Am Dm Dm/A Dm Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care ----------------------------------------- Verse two and the solo and so on is the same. Don't ask me how to play the different bass notes in some chords - I've used the piano mostly, and I just have noted how they play. The Bb/G sounds rather good as a G chord on the piano, but not on the guitar - experiment! The Fmaj7 may sound better if played as an Am. There is an F in the bass (which together with Am forms the chord Fmaj7) but when playing Fmaj7 on the guitar it doesn't sound exactly right.
