Below are the chords to "When I Go." It is played very simply and sung freely and
soulfully. Its a great song to work on if you are learning barre chords.
the verses are: C#m, G#, (G#*)
*the G# in parenthesis is a single note walk down on the 6th string
the chorus is: E, Ab, C#m, F#m (Ab), A, C#m, F#m (Ab) A
Bridge: Ab, C#m, A, E, D, A
so it goes like this:
intro: C#m, Ab, F#m (Ab) A
Verse:
It makes a difference, when you walk through a room (G#) with that worrisome
smile road weary per fume. (G#) but this isn't the place and this
isn't the time (G#) for this beautiful de lusion that is robbing me
blind. (G#)
Chorus:
and i want to know i want to know (G#) will it make a difference
(G#) when i go --- ( stay on C#m for Verse 2 and bridge)
Verse 2
Bridge:
what is a love if the love's not my own and this is not my home this is lonely
but never Alone
Instrumental Verse
Verse 3
Chorus
the picking pattern is very simple something like (5, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3) starting on
5 or 6 (whatever the bass note is.) well, hopefully this makes sense! let me know if you have any
questions or comments or changes!
