guitar chords lyrics
Artist: Yo La Tengo
Album: Fade (release date: January 15, 2013)
Song: Paddle Forward
All right, I think I pretty much have this down. Most of the song does consist of
chords, except for one interlude riff played here and there.
Tuning: Standard
Here are all the chords used in the song:
G A Em F#m D
|e---3---0---0---2---2---|
|B---3---2---0---2---3---|
|G---0---2---0---2---2---|
|D---0---2---2---4---0---|
|A---2---0---2---4---x---|
|E---3---x---0---2---x---|
Verse 1:
G A G A Em
SOS, we've come unmoored
G A G A Em
Rip ride pulling, pulling away from the shore
Em F#m Em F#m
But we feel safe, inside, not a wave in sight,
Em
Hang on tight, the water's fine
Now the interlude riff is played:
|e--------0---|
|B------------|
|G--2---2-----|
|D------------|
|A------------|
|E------------|
Verse 2:
G A G A Em
Lock the boat, we've come unmoored
G A G A Em
Slipped the cleat, lost at sea, back in the centerboard
Em F#m Em F#m
But we feel safe, for now, as long as time allows,
Em
Hang on tight
Chorus:
G A G A
Rushes by too fast, never seems to last
G A D A D A
Every day, hanging here below the mast
Play around with the interlude riff for the next four bars:
|e---------0---|

|G---2---2-----|
|D-------------| x4
|A-------------|
|E-------------|
G A G A Em
G A G A Em
G A G A Em
Ship of fools, we've come unmoored
G A G A Em
Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore
Em F#m Em F#m
But we feel safe, inside, not a wave in sight,
Em
Hang on tight, there's still time, the water's fine
Play interlude riff for two bars:
|e---------0---|
