Owl City – Silhouette chords ver. 4

Bah, I wanted a good chord 'tab', so here it is!


   G G* Gsus2  D Dsus4 D/F# D/F#* G/F#  Cadd9 C6add9  Em Em7  Am  Am7 Am7*E|-3-3--3------0-0-----2----2-----2-----0-----0-------0--0----0---0---0-|A|-2-2--0------0-0-----0----0-----3-----3-----3-------2--2----0---0---0-|D|-0-0--0------0-0-----0----0-----0-----2-----0-------2--2----2---2---2-|G|-0-0--2------2-2-----2----2-----0-----0-----2-------0--0----2---0---0-|B|-0-3--3------3-3-----3----0-----3-----3-----3-------0--3----1---1---1-|e|-3-3--3------2-3-----3----0-----3-----3-----3-------0--3----0---0---3-|These can be mixed around (Gs with other Gs, etc), but the ones I put with the song, I prefer. So if you're like me, and like to be lazy, try strumming, G*, G*, G*, D/F#, Em7, 
Em7, Em7, D/F# (Repeat)

Note: G/F# is a special one, (I made it up :P) and is difficult to swap out of this 
song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Instead of Cadd9 G/F# G, try Cadd9 D/F# G or Cadd9 Gsus2 G. It'll make the minor or 
whatever nasty sound a little less apparent.

Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they 
change on the words, finally!

        G                                   D/F#    Em           The mountains of things that I still regret,
  D/F#  G                          D/F#     Em           Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
               Cadd9               D           (No matter where I go)
