Mainstream Kid (from The Firewatcher's Daughter - 2015) Brandi Carlile/Tim Hanseroth Note: This song is easier than you might think. What might sound like chord changes are instead common rhythmic flourishes - lift your fingers for a 1/8th note to catch the lower note before popping them back on to the original chord. Consequently the chords are pretty straightforward rock chords. For the choruses, I've indicated two such embellishments: Asus = x02230 A7 = x02020 [Intro] A/ --- | A | A | [Verse 1]
I'm gonna Afit in I'm on the list, I'm gonna Aget in Haven't you heard and don't you Dknow who I am? D- I'm with the Joneses, I'm their Abest friend
[Verse 2] nc A I've come to saturate the market

I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. Instead, this chord chart represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as a personal interpretation, it's not something I care to debate. It's a road map for my own, and maybe your own future performances. If you have another way to play this song, great. Please, post your own chart. We all benefit when someone contributes. Cheers! Dexex
