Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E
Didn't see chord layout for this song and my sister asked me to play it for her, so I figured it out and thought I'd share for all of the other RdC fans out there. At the beginning of each verse, mute the strings and strum for the percussion sound that Rochelle uses. Don't strum until 'magazine' on the first verse and the subsequent count for the following verses. Strumming pattern (as best I can tell) is: thumb root note, down up down up (x2) for each chord listed except for: line 5 of each verse which goes F down mute down mute to G last line of each verse you play the aforementioned strumming pattern ONCE on the D bar chord (not twice) and then slide it down to the capo, mute the strings for the percussion bit, then start again on the C For F# chord keep pinky from G and put 2nd finger on 2nd fret of 6th string, empasize the bass End of the song, stay on D and let it ring [Verse 1]
Did you read it in a Cmagazine While you were sitting on a Gplane Was it somethin' 'bout Saint CAugustine Or the life of CharleGmagne F G (F barre chord, slide to G) That one king who went insane F G (F barre chord, slide to G) You forgot his name A (A barre chord to D barre chord) But you're a regular sponge, you just soak it all up D (Slide D barre chord down to capo and mute) Always been that way
[Verse 2]
And did you see a documCentary Can't keep it to yourGself Now you're an expert in geCology And life in prison Gcells What a burden to know Ceverything But you Gmanage F#it so Emwell If there's a Asecret life behind those dull brown eyes We Dnever could tell
Bridge/Solo-esque pause (don't know what to call it) C G C G F G F G A D [Verse 3]
Did you skim a little CHemmingway From your senior English Gclass And the specifics sort of Cslipped away But you've got enough to be an Gass Oh, you never had to Fwork that Ghard To be a FC+ Gstar So that in A15 years you could talk fine beer What a Dcard you are
[Verse 4]
And have your friends all missed the Cpoint somehow Working hard on their deGgrees I mean, you're basically a Cdoctor now Because of WebGMD And when that ivory tower Ccrumbles down No Gone will F#be more Empleased 'Cuz where it Aused to stand will be the common man And his Dmagazines Did you read it in a Cmagazine Oh Gooooooh Was it somethin' 'bout the CByzantines Ooooh Gooooh ooh-ooooh And you can't remember Ceverything GOooh F#ooooh Emoooooh But you're a Aregular sponge, such a brilliant one Always Dbeen that way
