The purpose of Basement Songs is to allow our fans to play and sing along with Arthur's Concert for Iceland songs. We encourage you to send any recordings of your own renditions to carltonfarthington@gmail.com or share them with us (and the world!) through social media. Who knows, maybe one you could be up on stage with Arthur White!
Lots of slash chords (many with the 9 in the bass):
- Guitar can usually just play Maj7
- Keyboard should play the 9 prominently in the bass
- Bass always hitting the bass note in the slash chord
INTRO:
Gmaj7/E, F#m7, Bmaj7
Gmaj7, Gmaj7/E, F#m7, Bmaj7
Gmaj7/A (Gmaj9), F#maj7
Gmaj7/A, F#maj7,
Gmaj7/A--G#maj7/A#--Amaj7/B--A#maj7/C--

CHORUS
Gmaj7/E
Don’t wait on a smile in the mirror
Gmaj7/G
Don’t wait on a word from your hearer
Gmaj7/A
Why’d you wait on another one
Bmaj7 Gmaj7/E
Just to make up your mind? Just so you know… (2x)
VERSE 1:
F#m7
I can show you how
Fmaj7/G
Being in love can come to nothing
Fm7/Bb
When someone trusts in something which is
Gmaj7/E F#m7
Never what it may seem
Fmaj7/G Fm7/Bb
Just like a dreamer toss and turn in a dream
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
F#m7 Fmaj7/G
I was so in love with all the trappings and distractions
Fm7/Bb
That captured my imagination
Gmaj7/E F#m7
Just one look in my eyes
Fmaj7/G Fm7/Bb
I’m just a shadow of a man, my advice
Is that you never think twice
CHORUS
