Beat Happening - What's Important This is currently arranged for solo guitar. It's a lot simpler with the lead and rhythm separate. Either way it's pretty easy, which is what makes it cool in the first place. Fmaj7 = x03210 (alternate with x03211 before next note on verses, let's call this one FM7*) The instrumental section is all on an Am, with your pinky controlling this pattern: Am, 002213, 002230, Am Am Am (repeat) The trick is to strum the heavier strings on the first Am, and the lighter strings on the rest. (if you're just doing rhythm, it goes on power chords: Am, DDD. that last D has the second finger pulled off, so the chord is actually x555 instead of x577) Enjoy and improve on it! -MolochMachine Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C put on your boots and walk with me Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C over the freeway and down to the sea Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C that's where we can always go Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C when we really wanna know Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am, E Fmaj7 FM7* C E we sit by the window and we watch the rain Fmaj7 FM7* C E each little drop has got a name Fmaj7 FM7* C E they're falling down and they're hiting the ground Fmaj7 FM7* C E they're washing all the people away Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am, E Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C go on the roof and we'll see the sky Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C let the world pass us by Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C we can make it all turn grey Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C if we really want it that way Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am, E Fmaj7 FM7* C E paint me a picture of the way you feel Fmaj7 FM7* C E close your eyes and make it real Fmaj7 FM7* C E sing me a song of the place you see Fmaj7 FM7* C E we can go there, just you and me Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am pattern Am, E Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C you don't have to smile if you don't want to Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C i don't have to smile if i don't want to Fmaj7 FM7* C Fmaj7 FM7* C we don't have to smile if we don't want to Fmaj7 FM7* Fmaj7 FM7*
