That is, an open string is in fact the first fret of the guitar. The same applies to the chord diagrams below - the E position is in reality the F position (1st fret). ----------------------- Chords Used: ----------------------- E E7M Asus2 Bsus4 E ||----0----||----0----||----0----||----0----|| B ||----0----||----0----||----0----||----0----|| F#||----5----||----5----||----5----||----0----|| D ||----6----||----6----||----7----||----4----|| A ||----7----||----6----||----7----||----2----|| E ||----0----||----4----||----5----||----2----|| (Thumb) Badd11 C#m7 ||----0----||----0----|| ||----0----||----0----|| ||----0----||----7----|| ||----1----||----6----|| ||----2----||----4----|| ||----2----||---(4)---|| The capo on the first fret is only really necessary if you want to match the pitch of the original song, which is a half-step higher than it would be if you play without the capo. Not using a capo is also handy for live performances if you prefer to use "concert pitch" tuning. ================================================================================ Acoustic Guitar: E A D F# B E with Optional Capo on 1st Fret ================================================================================ [ E ] [ E ] [ E7M ] [ E7M ] x 2 ====== Verse: ====== [ E ] [ E ] I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell What I felt I was [ E7M ] [ E7M ] Unrecognisable to myself I saw my [ E ] [ E ] Reflection in a window I didn't know my own face oh brother are you [ E7M ] [ E7M ] Gonna leave me Wastin' away on the streets of Philadelphia ======= Chorus: ======= [ Asus2 ] [ Em7 ] [ Bsus4 ] [ Badd11 ] adelphia [ Asus2 ] [ Em7 ] [ Bsus4 ] [ Badd11 ] ====== verse: ====== [ E ] [ E ] I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone I heard [ EM7 ] [ EM7 ] The voices of friends vanished and gone at night I [ E ] [ E ] Could hear the blood in my veins just as [ EM7 ] [ EM7 ] Black and whispering as the rain on the streets of Philadelphia ======= Chorus: See above ======= ====== Break: ====== [ Asus2 ] [ C#m7 ] Ain't no angel gonna greet me [ Asus2 ] [ E ] It's just you and I my friend [ EM7 ] [ Asus2 ] And my clothes don't fit me no more I walked [ Bsus4 ] [ Badd11 ] A thousand miles just to slip this skin ====== Verse: ====== [ E ] [ E ] The night has fallen and I'm lyin' awake I can [ EM7 ] [ EM7 ] Feel myself fading away so [ E ] [ E ] Receive me brother with you, faithless kiss or will we [ EM7 ] [ EM7 ] Leave each other alone like this on the streets of Philadelphia ======= Chorus: See above (Repeat until fade) ======= ================================================================================ End ================================================================================
