Capo: 4
Bruning Bridges by Chris Pureka A friend of mine has been trying to learn this song, however I realized that nothing out there is really very close to accurate. She has a birthday coming up so I decided that this would be a simple thing to do for her. If you see this before your birthday... Happy Birthday Kendra! Capo 4 leave the low E string open A few things you should know about the song: On C chords, play open low E string. The timing varies in a few places, there is a "x" on the next beat to note that the chord does not change, typically this also means that the final chord of the measure is shortened. GM9 is played without a 3rd. On Em, the index finger plays E on 4th fret next to capo, ring & pinky fingers play the actual Em chord. On the second beat of the Em chords, she also hammers on the pinky (D string). With regards to the final verse: In the studio version, she repeats the first verse for the last verse with the last line of the second to last verse playing repeated in the background for the first two lines, however what is shown here is how she plays it live by her self. Lastly, this is not perfect, but it is closer than anything I have seen. Here are what the Chords look like: C/E Cm/E CM9/E Em G GM9 G(bar 3) D D(modified) e|-0-----1-----1------0---3---3---3--------2---x----------| B|-1-----2-----1------0---3---3---3--------3---x----------| G|-0-----3-----2------0---0---2---4--------2---x----------| D|-2-----3-----3------2---0---0---5--------0---0----------| A|-3-----1-----1------2---2---0---5--------x---0----------| E|-open--open--open---0---3---2---3--------x---2nd fret(played below the capo) Standard Timing: | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Verse: | Em C/E | G GM9 C/E | Chorus: | G D | C/E Em D | Intro: Em G(bar 3) C/E E|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------0-0h2-2---2-0---------| G|-------------0-0h2-2---2-0---------0-----0h2-2/4-| B|-3/5---5---5---------0---------------------------| e|-----3---3---------------------------------------| | Em C/E | G GM9 C/E |
