View Guitar Chords for Camellia - chords ver. 1
I worked out most of this by watching John Oates play an acoustic version. It may not be precise to the studio recording, but it's darn close. Here are the shapes John uses: EADGBE A: x02220 E: 476454 D: 557775 D6: 557777 Bm: 799777 (sometimes he plays 797779) Bm7: x24232 C#m7: x46454 F#m: 244222 ... Though, for most of those chords, the standard shapes sound fine, too. Also, the D6 can be substituted with a standard D and still sound good. (Personally, I like substituting a Dmaj7, played like this: xx0222.)
