Here's my interpretation of Munich, one of my favorite songs on The Fray's new album.
Hope you'll enjoy, feel free to comment/correct @ tikiflea@gmail.com
Have fun!
Use a capo on 2nd fret:
For the verse, the strumming pattern is like this, palm-muted:e|---------------------------------|B|---------------------------------|G|-----------4-4-4-4-4-------------|D|-2----4----4-4-4-4-4-------------|A|-2----4----2-2-2-2-2-------------|E|-0----2--------------------------| E F# B
e|---------------------------------|B|---------------------------------|G|-2---------6-6-6-6-6-------------|D|-2----6----6-6-6-6-6-------------|A|-0----6----4-4-4-4-4-------------|E|------4--------------------------| A G# C#
For the pre-chorus, the pattern is pretty simple, still palm-muted.
Then for the chorus, I suggest to play the chords in an "open" fashion as followed (it
brings cool high tones when played on an acoustic guitar):
e|-0-----0-----0-----0------|B|-2-----4-----5-----0------|G|-2-----4-----6-----1------|D|-2-----4-----6-----2------|A|-0-----2-----4-----2------|E|-------------------0------| A B C# E
E F# B
Take all you know
A G# C#
And you let it go
E F# B
Inside the snow
A G# C#
Begins to fall
E F# B
Step to the edge
You and I
A G# C#
And we fall below
E F# B
Take a breath
A G# C#
Hold my hand And now you're not alone
A B
Calling now
C#
It terrifies me
E
And I don't know why
A B
There you go
C#
You're paralyzing me
E
And I don't know why
A B
Everything
C# E
Is black and white and grey
A B
Walls are shaking
C# E
When you're touching me
A
Changes everything
B E
When you're close to me
Back to back
Hand to hand
Face to face again
We're lovers and enemies
Then we're back to friends
Something left
Holding us
Pulls me closer in
Take a breath
And the color will return again
Calling now
It terrifies me
And I don't know why
There you go
You're paralyzing me
And I don't know why
Everything
Is black and white and grey
Walls are shaking
When you're touching me
Changes everything
Changes everything
Walls are shaking
Changes everything
When you're close to me
