Ben Folds Five - Kate

Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever, Amen [1997] - "Kate" So this song begins with a measure of 7/8, but the rest of the song is in 4/4. For the prechoruses the chords in the tab include those pitches that are sung in harmony by the band. The relationship between the chords written in the tab and the chords for capo is one half step down [i.e., F becomes E, C7[b9] becomes B7, etc], and drop the accent notes. Cheers, rockinattica Chords, EADGBe, key of F: ["o" means 10th fret] Abmaj7 4x5543 Bbm7 686666 Db[dim] 9x898x Abmaj7[add6] 4x5564 Bbm7[add6] 6x6886 F 133211 Abmaj9 4x5546 Bbm[sus9] 6x6868 Fmaj7 102210 Abm7 464444 C7[sus] x35363 Fmaj7 x8o9o8 Abm9 464446 C7[b9] 8x8989 F[6/9] 10001x Am7 x05553 C7sus[b9] x3x364 Fmaj7[6/9] 100010 Bbmaj7 6x776x C7sus[b9] 8x8o89 Gm7 353333 Bbmaj7[6/9] 655565 Cm7 x35343 Bbm7[6/9] 6x6688 Bbmaj9 6x7768 Cm7 8o8888 C7 x35353 Bbmaj9 6x0565 Db7 x46464 Gm7[add6] 3x3353 Bbmaj9[b5] x10210 Db7[sus] x46474 Gm9 3x3365 Bbmaj9[add6] x10213 G7 3x3433 [nc] no chord Chords, EADGBe, capo somewhere, play in E, sing in key of whatever's comfortable: Amaj7 x02120 Emaj7 021100 Am7 x02010 F#m7 242222 B7 x24242 Gmaj7 3x0002 B7 x2120x Gm7 353333 Bm7 x20202 G#m7 464444 E 022100 Original post: 12 September 2015 @ Ultimate-Guitar dot com INTRO [piano only] 7/8: | F | [+bass] [+drums] 4/4: | F | F | F | F [+voice] | F | F | F | F She plays wipeout VERSE ONE | F | Fmaj7 on the drums, the squirrels and the birds come gather | Gm7 | Gm7 round to sing the guitar.
