Well, I have already in detail tabbed out the original album version of "Corduroy", and
I was fiddling around with my brother's acoustic guitar (and then listening to an
version of "Corduroy" on my computer) I figured out the chords for the acoustic...
Chords:
Em 022000
Asus2 002200
C 032010
B 02444x
Cadd9 032030
Em9 022030
It has the intro of the original:
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-|
|-2-2---2---2-2---2-----2---2-----2---2---|
|---------------------0---------3---------|
|-----------------------------------------|
Then the rest of it is different than the electric version.
The verse progression (played in the same rhythm as the verse riff is played in the
is:
C - B - G (play once through and then start singing part way through G strumming)
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before
Interlude - one guitar plays intro riff, the other plays these chords with it
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|-----4--4-----4---4---4---4---4-----4---4-|
|-2-2--2---2-2---2---2-------2-----2---2---|
|------------------------0-------3---------|
|------------------------------------------|
Next verse and chorus exactly the same chords as first ones. Then there is the
verse thingy:
Guitar one plays: D-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4 ad nauseam, guitar two plays these chords
(played twice through before lyrics start)
- - -
Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's chains
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture
Regular next chorus and final verse. The outro is just interlude pretty much (with the
and intro riff)
