A LOON album version - HIPS AND MAKERS ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ A LOON is a very powerful song to me. it can always change my mood from angry to not-so-angry. or sad. it has the same guitar tuning as VELVET DAYS and LURCH. the e-string is tuned down 2 halfsteps down to d and the b-string is tuned up 3 halfsteps (!) to d. there are some 'irregularities' in this song (like in most of Kristin's work). sometimes there is an E-minor-seventh chord before 'fig.1', sometimes not. Kristin uses her left hand to mute the strings during that A5-chord. ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ chords: A5 Am/C D9 Em7 A5/F e--0---0----0---0---0--- d--2---2----0---0---2--- g--2---2----2---0---2--- d--2---2----0---2---3--- a--0---3--------2------- d----------------------- fig.1: e--0-0-0-0-- d--0-0-0-0-- g--0-0-0-0-- d--2-2-2-2-- a--2-0-0-0-- d------2-2-- ________________________________________________ A5 Am/C D9 fig.1 A5 A5/F D9 fig.1 A5 Am/C D9 Em7 fig.1 some store, i'm not going back there any...
