-------- CHAMELEON BOY (ACOUSTIC) - Blue October http://youtu.be/8f6Ao0REouA -------- DISCLAIMER - this is NOT the exact way Justin Furstenfeld plays this song! The basic chords are correct, but the picking is arbitrary. I simplified this for my own skill level. Watch the video above to see how Justin plays it himself. G - 320033 (you need that B string in there if you are finger-picking the song.) Am7 - x02010 ==INTRO== Am7 Am7 G e|----------------------------------------------------| B|--0--0h1---------0-0h1------------3-----3-----3-----| G|---------0-------------0------------0-----0---------| D|-----------2-------------0-----0------0-----0-------| A|--0--0-------0---------------2----------------------| E|---------------------------3------------------------| ==VERSE== Am7 Am7 G e|----------------------------------------------------| B|--------0h1-----------0h1------------3-----3-----3--| G|------0-----0-------0-----0------------0-----0------| D|----2---------2---2---------0-----0------0-----0----| A|--0-------------0---------------2-------------------| E|------------------------------3---------------------| Play this riff throughout the whole verse, or you can just strum or arpeggiate these chords (use regular Am if strumming):
Am7I changed my color for you, I Am7shed my coat with caution GI lack the beauty you displGay Am7See here they are the bruises Am7and some were self-inflicted GAnd some showed up along the Gway Am7So I nod my head, I'm rAm7eady for the world to see The sGecret i kept here inside the man you thought id be Am7Slip into coma calm, the Am7coma where I calm myself down GHere comes excuses why I let you down
==CHORUS==
CStand by for another breakdown,G sound off the alarm Is this the chamCeleon boy I swore I wouldn't becoGme? Chameleon boAm7y G Chameleon boAm7y G
==VERSE==
Am7So now we've come upon the Am7hardest thing I've ever done GIts telling you that I'm a Gmess Am7What sort of mess I mean is Am7self-destructive gasoline GThe kind that strips you of your Gbest Am7And while i play instead the wAm7ay that most would end up dead GYou sleep alone at home and wGish that I was in our bed Am7With this I'm telling you, Am7my color changes back to blue GHow do i ask you this... will you help me through?
==CHORUS==
CStand by for another breakdown,G sound off the alarm Is this the chamCeleon boy I swore I wouldn't becoGme? CStand by for another breakdown,G sound off the alarm Is this the chamCeleon boy I swore I wouldn't becoGme? Chameleon boAm7y G Chameleon boAm7y G
==VERSE/BRIDGE==
Am7I try to think of all the people i look up to GOr growing up who would I be Am7Now the fuckked up part, where did all my idols end up? GThey all passed away, Passed away
==CHORUS==
CStand by for another breakdown,G sound off the alarm It's the chameleon Cboy I swore I wouldn't becomGe Chameleon boAm7y G Chameleon boAm7y G
