This song is in the key of D. The four main chords are D, G, A and Em. There is also a Gm. D: 232002 Em: 000220 (030220 = Em7) G: 330023 (x30023 = alternate emphasis) A: 022200 Gm: 333553 The Em v. Em7 is a tough one to call. If you listen to the background vocals, they clearly descend to note G (the “3” in the Em7 chord above), but I believe Jon is simply playing an Em and letting the vocals create the dissonance. You can play it either way if you’re singing; play Em7 if you’re not. Unfortunately I don’t know most of the lyrics. But the verses play out in the following way rhythmically: (following an intro, which is simply an A chord:) D D Em A (repeat) For help, I’ll write the chords over one of the lyrics I do know.
DThis jukebox won’t play nEmo Sinatra It just cAurses all night Dlong DThere’s no easy spokeEmn mantra Put me Aback where I Dbelong
Then, the “chorus” is played like this: (all single strum once first Gm is played)
(DOh Shangri La, why can’t EmI find you and your Afaded promiseDs) GmI’ve seen it in youDr eyes GmA wanted man’s diDsguise, and Aa million baGd highs The Gmlights had all gone Dred, the Gm4 am dDread Gm D A G A Then yDou make sense like the star that you are, oh Shangri La
Then back to the verse (D D Em A), then chorus once more (Gm D). Following the second chorus: D Em G A (D) Oh Shangri La D Em G A D Em
G A D Oh Shangri Laaaaaaaaaaaaa
Then finally, there’s the intro to the last minute and a half: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----10----------12-------14-------15-----------17---------19--19---17-----20--| |-------------------------------------------------------------------18-----18--| |-/11------11/12----12/14----14/16--------16/17------17/19----------17-----17--| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
