Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
Due to this song's abstract style it would be quite complicated to reproduce exactly. The chords I have
written are suggested, and notes that are not commonly found in these chords can be heard on the record.
For example, in the opening Fm chord try adding notes such as D, E, G and A at times, breaking free from
familiar structure and harmony.
Ddim7, Bdim7 or Fdim7 may be more comfortable on guitar than Abdim7 and will still work as they all
share the same 4 notes. Inversions of the dim7 chord in this song can be used for different effects.
Bass notes (e.g the Ab in Fm6/Ab) are optional on guitar but will give more tension if on piano or with bass.
