Late Night, Maudlin Street Chords ================================== The verse pattern alternates the root notes twice, for example, in [C, Cmaj7] you play C in first fret, second string (Strum) and then play it open (strum) - you do this twice and switch to: [G, G/F#] where you play G on the first string, third fret (strum) and then play F# on the second fret (Strum) - twice again. You may also play a G7 before returning to the E on the chorus before returning to the verse, the F note first string adds a nice effect. The last bars of the song are mostly guitar effects and so I tried to fit in some chords that you can use over them, but it's not very accurate...if all else fails you can fade with the verse. The song sounds quite nice on acoustic, with a gentle singing tone. It is a phenomenal song, it should prove Morrissey's excellence as an artist.
