One of These Things First (Bryter Layter) Standard Tuning (EADGBe) Chords Used: E - 022100 F#m7/E - 04222x G#m/E - 06644x E/D - xx0454 A - x02220 G - 320003 F#m - 244222 Notes: In the recording off of Bryter Layter it sounds like Nick is using an open tuning of some sort. I prefer to stay in standard tuning when I play so here's how I have written out the chords. Note that the E/D chord is a quick passing chord and may be omitted if difficult to play at the recorded speed. Chords my not be exactly in line with lyrics since Mr. Drake tends to play and sing in more complex rhythms. Intro: E F#m7/E G#m/E E/D F#m7/E X 4 E
