------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colette - Langhorne Slim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard Capo on 2 Notes concerning chord shapes at the bottom of the page. Intro: Fadd11* Fadd11 Fadd11 Verse 1: Fadd11 All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend Fadd11 You came along just then Fadd11 You gave me crazy love and you whispered, "You got a bottle and nobody that your missin'." Fadd11 I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover Fadd11 You said, "Don't get excited, but take cover" Fadd11 We stepped into the light to pictures of each other Some were in black and white, the others were in color Chorus: Fadd11 Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere Fadd11 and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead now it must seem pretty clear That I love you. Yes, I do. (repeat intro and verse 1, lyrics are the same, sing one octave higher) Break: ** (repeat x8) Chorus (2x as fast as previously played) Fadd11 Fadd11 Fadd11 Colette, I knew the second we met, you'd go to my head we took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere Fadd11 and I guess it was something you said, we'll rest when we're dead now it must seem pretty clear /G That I love you. * Fadd11 is used as a passing tone, hammer your pinky onto an A# and then immediately release back into F. Chord shape for Fadd11 is simply: -1- -1- -3- -3- -0- --- ** the D5 of the break is used as a passing tone, just release your fingers from the C/G shape and pick the A and D strings. Part is so fast that it won't be noticeable and sounds correct in the context. Note concerning chord shapes: As with many of Folk musicians, Langhorne Slim uses a slight variation in chord shapes. The chords will usually feel like they are shaped like C, that is: -0- -1- -0- -2- -3- -0- To form an F Chord, all you would have to do would be to move your 2 fingers from the D and A Strings to the G and D strings, and mute (or don't play) the E strings. So F would be formed like this: --- -1- -2- -3- -0- --- similarly, G would be played like this: -3- -0- -0- -0- -2- -3- Note that your pinky is on the high G. Another note is that for this song, Langhorne plays C with the added 5th, so just keep your pinky like its playing G and your good to go. The final chord of this song is C/G, the G is the lower G, not the higher one, so the chord would be: -0- -1- -0- -2- -3- -3- This is the same shape of C/G used in the break section. Forming these chords is far easier then explaining how to :], but I hope this helped some people who are new to folk chord shapes.
