I'd Like That - XTC-------------------From the album Apple Venus vol. Itranscribed by Howard Wrighthowardw (at) jmdl (dot) comThis is a very nice one to bash out on an acoustic. There area few interesting/unusual chords, but most of them are fairlystraight forward. All chord shapes given at the end.One thing to be aware of: for the intro and most of the versesonly the bottom three notes of the chord are played, so theguitar part has a somewhat "minimal" feel about it. When the Echord that comes just before each verse is strummed, all 6 stringsare played to give a contrasting "big" sound.Intro:------A F#m7 E/G# D/F#A F#m7 EVerse 1:--------A F#m7 E/G# D/F# A F#m7 E/G# D/F#I'd like that if we could cycle down some laneA F#m7 E/G# D/F# A F#m7 E/G#I'd like that if we could ride into the rainF#No macs, getting wetB F# B AI'd be your Albert if you'd be Victoria, ha haC#7 E7/G# G#7/B# C#mWe'd laugh because each drop would make me grow up really high,F#mreally high like a really high thingESay, a sunflowerNote: the guitar chord(s) for the word "sunflower" are hard to hearbecause the big vocal harmony kind of covers everything. I think abasic E will work, but you could also try E B/E (E for "sun" andB/E for "flower") which is the basic harmony of the vocal part.A F#m7 E/G# D/F# A F#m7 EI'd like thatVerse 2:--------(Same chords as verse 1)I'd like thatWhat would you like?If we could lay before my fireI'd like thatWhat would you like?If you could slide me from this wireToasting fork, I'll be doneI wouldn't Hector if you'd be Helen of Troy, oh boyWe'd laugh because each flame would make me grow upReally high, really high like a really high thingSay, a sunflowerA F#m7 E/G# D/F# A F#m7 E/G#I'd like thatMiddle 8--------F#/A# B EbI'd smile so much my face would crack in twoF#/A# B EbThen you could fix it with your kissing glueA F#m7 E/G#I'd like thatA F#m7 E/G#Yes, I'd like thatA F#m7 E/G# D/F#A F#m7 EVerse 3:--------(Same chords as verse 1, exceot where indicated)I'd like thatWhat would you like?If we could float away in bedI'd like thatWhat would you like?If I could row your heart and headWith you laid on one armI'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton, what funWe'd laugh because each stroke would make me grow upReally high, really high like a really high thingE(VII) BSay, a sunflowerE(VII) BSay, a sunflowerE(VII)Let me hear you say it!B E(VII)Say a sunflower I becameB E(VII)I'd be growing in your rainrepeat the B E(VII) sequence to fade, (with optionalfast flamenco-ish strums and hand-claps!)Chord Shapes------------Note that for quite a few of these shapes, only the lowestthree notes are strummed - e.g the A chord is more or lessplayed as A5 (x022xx).EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBEx0222x 2x222x 4x24xx 2x02xxA F#m7 E/G# D/F#EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE022100 244322 x2444x x434xxE F# B C#7EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE4x2x3x 8x6x7x x46654 244222E7/G# G#7/B# C#m F#mEADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE02444x 6x46xx x6888x 07999xB/E F#/A# Eb E(VII)
