Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton Just a note about the '/' chords as the chord name seems to be misunderstood or misused quite frequently. These are chords which are standard chords played with an alternate note in the bass. So the chord goes before the / and the note after the / is the bass note added. So as you notice Bm/A contains a Bm triad in a different order, also known as an inversion, so you have F# which is the 5th (the 4th fret on the D string), then B which is the root (the 4th fret on the G string), then D which is the minor third (the 3rd fret on the B string). This then allows the added bass note to be at the bottom, which in this case is the open A string. Hopefully that made sense and was a little helpful but anyway, on to the song: Capo on 2nd fret Chord list, in order of appearance: Am Em7 C G E F Bm7b5 A Bm/A C#m/A E--0---------0---3---0---1-------------------------| B--1----0----1---0---0---1----3-----2----3-----5---| G--2----0----0---0---1---2----2-----2----4-----6---| D--2----0----2---0---2---3----3-----2----4-----6---| A--0----2----3---x---2---3----2-----0----0-----0---| E-------0--------3---0---1-------------------------| D/A Dm7 F/D Amaj7 Cmaj7/A D Am7 D9 D7 B7 E-------1----5-----0------0-----2----0----5---2----2--| B--7----1----6-----2------5-----3----1----5---1----0--| G--7----2----5-----1------4-----2----0----5---2----2--| D--7----0----0-----2------5-----0----2----4---0----1--| A--0---------------0------0----------0----5--------2--| E-----------------------------------------------------| (Fig. 1) E------------------------0----------------------| B--------------0-----------------3-----0--------| G--------2--------------------------------2--0--| D-----------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------| E--3--------3-----3----------3------3-----------| Am Em7 |C |C |
