CD “Carry Away”
(This song is already on the site, but the tab isn't the greatest--rated at
a 2--and it's actually played capoed to what I have here, not like the
current tab specifies. Mine is much more specific.)
Capo 7
Verse:
Em7 (020030) C2 (023030, can hammer the four string)
Em7 C2
Em7 C2
Em7 C2
Pre-Chorus:
Am7 Em7 C2 D-D2-D
(can hammer the 2 string on Am7, 4 string on C2)
Chorus:
G D2/F# Em7 D
C2 Em7 D-Dsus-D (repeat)
I think Shane starts the chorus with a G chord (320033) and walks it down
through D2/F# (200033), Em7 (020033), D, C2 (x32033), Em7 (x20033), D…very
fun, sounds nice, and I love the heart of the song, how much it longs for
God. Problem is, on the CD he plays it in D (CAPO 7), indeed the best key
for the song, because he has a full band; the guitar work he does, he does
pretty much only on the lower four strings. However, playing it solo guitar
in that key makes the guitar sound kinda puny , so I move it down the neck
to capo 3 or 4.
