Chords:
Theres alot of righting here but its worth the time to read so enjoy.... The intro and the verse are the same and can be either fingerpicked or strummed although if you can get your fingers to pick the strings it sounds more effective. The three opening chords are derivatives of Em,Cmaj7 and Em7. The best way of fretting them are to use a C shape adding your little finger to fret the top string at the 10th fret. Only the bass(E) and top three strings are picked, with the index finger being used to slide between the 7th and 8th fret during the chord progression. Although not all the strings held down are used when fingerpicked they sound OK when strummed. Note the different finger positions for identical chords and have fun!!! The chord positions used are as follows: Em 0 10 9 0 8 10 Cmaj7 8 10 9 0 8 10 (use thumb to fret bass) Em7 X 0 9 9 8 10 Asus2 002200 Em 022000 Cmaj7 332000 Dsus4 X54035 C 332010 D 200232 (F# in the bass) G 320033 G? 200033 Em7 020033 Intro Em , Cmaj7, Em7 X2 Em I dreamt I was in heaven and I was sitting in a bar Cmaj7 With all the other angels, Em7 you were smoking a cigar Em One hand on your hip and one foot on a chair Cmaj7 And a golden ostrich feather Em7 that was planted in your hair Em, Cmaj7, Em7 X2 Em And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed Cmaj7 Each night a different dream of me Em7 I'd plant inside your head Em And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do Cmaj7 I'd appear in a vision Asus2 and I'd give my wings to you (--3--2--Em)see note below EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2,EmX2,Cmaj7,Asus2 At this point use standard chord positions i.e. Em 022000 Cmaj7 332000 Asus2 002200 Also from the end of the verse descend the bass string before you hit the Em and Cmaj7 chord i.e.,-3-2-Emx2, -3-2-0-Cmaj7 , Asus2 Asus2 Dsus4 Em (Dsus4 054035)(C shape + little finger) And I'd say "come closer C D Fly into the light G G?
