The other song parts are just chords, played pretty freely in relation to the music.
other parts are played by Bird on his violin.
The chordal parts are much the same as the studio version.
Chorus
For the first two lines of the chorus, chords are strummed for two measure ie 12 times.
So we're Gtaking all our B7myths to the
Gbank, just don't forB7get who to
****
For the next two they are strummed for one measure each. 6 times.
Gthank cause we're taking all our B7myths to the
Em Drinking a Afifth to the
GTaking all our Fmyths to the Embank
****
For the last line, it's just one chord left to ring.
Oh B7no.
The intro is repeated next along with the verse then a chorus. For the bridge only Bird
on his violin until this part.
And Gwhen his master B7plan is unfurled
There Cstands a handsome bid on the Aweather systems of the Gworld
That final G is repeated until near the end of the song at a constant pace.
This should be pretty spot on, hope the chord layout wasn't too confusing.
