Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 14:54:25 -0500 (CDT) From: "Branden R. Williams" <brw@kickinit.net> Subject: b/blessid_union_of_souls/let_me_be_the_one.crd This is based on the transcription by Alexander Hsi pu Feng <ahf1@acpub.duke.edu>. Some of the chords have minor fixes and in the previous transcription. several key chords were misplaced. This version fixes all of these. The C(9) chord which was previously placed here is actually just a C chord fingered a bit different. Also in place of these G Chords should be a Gmaj7. Also some C? turned out to be Fs and such. C 032013 D x00232 D9 x00230 Dsus x00233 F 133211 (barre the first fret) Gmaj7 320002 (or an easier one -> 3x0002). I prefer this fingering for pure simplicity and chord structure. Chords tend to ring better if you have an open fifth at the root instead of of a triad. To finger this correctly, simply use your thumb to mute the A string. One last note before we get started. In the chorus, the D chord is jazzed up by doing the following... D Then the following G chord e [-2-------2-----3---2---0-----22--3--] B [-3-------3-----3---3---3-----33--3--] G [-2-------2-----2---2---2-----22--2--] D [------------------------------------] A [------------------------------------] E [-x-------x-----x---x---x-----xx--x--] ---- LET ME BE THE ONE - Blessid Union of Souls Intro: G C D C
