Capo: 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: God on my side
Artist: World Party
Composer: Karl Wallinger
Album: Goodbye Jumbo
Tabbed by: DJ 6th May 2014
CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of A)
For keyboards, bass etc. use the transpose function and set it
to +2 to view the chords in the key of A.
NOTE: Only the highlighted chords will be transposed, the guitar
chord shapes in the legend will remain in G.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
G = xx5433 or 320033 G/B * = x2xxxx A7 = x02020
D/F# = xx4232 or 20023x G/D = xx0xxx Cadd9 = x32030
Em = xx2000 or 022000 C * = x3xxxx A7/E = 0xxxxx
Em7/D = xx0000 or 020000 C/B = x2xxxx A7/G = 3xxxxx
C = x32010 C/A = x0xxxx A7 * = x0xxxx
G/B = x20033 C/E = 0xxxxx D = xx0232
A = x02220 C/G = 3xxxxx A * = x0xxxx
G * = 3xxxxx A7sus2 = x02000 A/C# = x4xxxx
A/E = xx2xxx
Emphasise the bass note of each chord before each strum.
The verse progression could alternatively be played as:
G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B A
| /_/_/ /_/_/ /_/_/ /_/_/ | /_/_/ /_/_/ / / |
For the verse end sections I chose an A7sus2, but a smooth
A9 chord [x02423] is actually more accurate, so take your pick.
For another alternative see the riff tab at the bottom of the page.
