--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Games People Play – The Alan Parsons Project --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Alan Parsons/Eric Woolfson From: "The Turn Of A Friendly Card" (1980) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard This is the original key. Maybe a little easier to play: transpose -2 to Am and then use a capo 2nd fret to match the recording. I added tabs and chord voicings for both options below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Interlude] and [Verse] basic riff no capo: Bm A5 Bm A6 Gmaj7 Gmaj7 A6 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|2-2---2---2---2-|--------2---2---| B|3-3---3---2---0-|--------0---2---| G|4-4-2-4---2---0-|--------0---2---| D|4-4-2-4---2---0-|--------0---2---| A|2-2-0-2---0-----|------------0---| E|--------------3-|--------3-------| capo 2nd fret: Am/G Am Am G6 Fmaj7 Fmaj7 G6 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|0-0---0---0---0-|--------0---0---| B|1-1---1---0---1-|--------1---0---| G|2-2-2-2---0---2-|--------2---0---| D|2-2-2-2---0---3-|--------3---0---| A|0-0---0-------3-|--------3-------| E|----3-----3---1-|--------1---3---| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS no capo capo 2nd fret E-A-D-G-B-e E-A-D-G-B-e A6 x-0-2-2-2-2 G6 3-x-0-0-0-0 Gmaj7 3-x-0-0-0-2 Fmaj7 (t)1-3-3-2-1-0 A5 x-0-2-2-x-x Am/G 3-x-2-2-1-0 Em9 0-2-0-0-0-2 Dm9 x-x-0-2-1-0 or x-5-3-5-5-x Bsus4 x-2-4-4-5-2 Asus4 x-0-2-2-3-0 Gmaj7/B x-2-0-0-0-2 Fmaj7/A x-0-3-2-1-0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | Bm | % | % | % | [Verse]
