FORMATTING:
*This chart will fit onto two 8.5" x 11" pages if you copy & paste the lyrics & chords
from the main body into a word document using Century Gothic font size 12. You will
need to
re-adjust the chords properly into the correct spots over the lyrics but it's much
easier to
read and well worth it.
*The Title can be a Bigger font size 20
*Artist name and page numbering needs to be a Small font size.
*The title, artist name & page number at the top of page two will need to be font
size 8.
*The reference Chord fingerings at the very bottom of "page 2" will need to be
a smaller font size too (Century Gothic size 8).
The Chart was derived from watching and listening to
"Chris Cornell Billie Jean Acoustic The Lowery 16/6/12"
on Youtube.com at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn6yWwimVk4
I wrote out the B11 chord differently than Chris is fingering it. I can't see exactly
what he's doing
and why but it's a B11 (or basically a B7sus4).
For some of the Em Chords he is lifting and hammering his 2nd fret fingers alternating
fretted & open
notes on the 2nd frets, 4th and 5th strings, giving us Em7 h Em and A7sus2/E h Em
*A7sus2/E={002000}
The Chart is spot on. Feel Free to Inbox with any questions and/or comments.
Enjoy!
