I'm talking about 'Karma Police':
There is one cross (#) before the staff. So it's written in G major, right?
This is the chord scheme:
intro:
|am D9/f# | Em G | Amadd9 F |
Em G | Amadd9 D | G G/F# C Cadd9/B |
Am | Bm D |
verse:
| Am D9/F# | Em G | Amadd9 F |
Em G | Am D | G C Cadd9/B |
Am | Bm D | Am D9/F# |
Em G |Amadd9 F | etc. etc. |
My question, how can you use a F when you play your song in G major????
Here are some notitions. I'm looking what key they have used and how the chords is progressing, with some musical rules in mind.
To see how the song is build up, I try first to write down which parts are in the song (I = 4 counts/ one bar)
Code: Select all
