10,000 Maniacs - Verdi Cries

      

 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------##
 

 
 A word of explanation is in order: this was the first song I sounded out
 when I learned to play the guitar two and a half years ago. Sometime after
 that, I came across a version of the song in a songbook, which was
 significantly different, but by that time I was so used to my version that
 the songbook one sounded wrong. The songbook version uses only four chords
 for most of the song--Eb, Bb, Cm and Ab, which turn into G, D, Em and C in
 this key--plus a Gb (Bb) on the "Oh" at the end of the second chorus.
 Anyway, I hope someone can get some use out of this version (which I think
 breaks every rule of chord progressions in the book, but...), and I'll try
 to post some more *official* Maniacs in the future.
