View Guitar Chords for Oh my god - chords ver. 1
This tab may look intimidating at first, but just look through it and try it along with track the first couple of times, and my crazy descriptions make more sense. It really is easy, and I hope this tab lives up to what you wanted out of learning this song. For the first three verses, the chord is played by first plucking the note listed below, strumming as shown (a lowercase direction means the strumming motion is made, but the are not hit, where an uppercase direction means the strings are hit) Strumming Pattern: PLUCK DOWN up down UP DOWN UP down UP DOWN UP down UP DOWN UP for all chords until noted) Chords and First Notes Played: Am7 - Open A string F - F on low E string C - C on A string Gsus - G on low E (for the the Gsus chord, it changes from a Gsus to a G at the second up strum you hit)Oh my Am7God, look around this pFlace, Fingers reCach around the bone, You set the Gsusbreak, you set the tGone, Flights of gAm7race, and future faFlls, In present pCain, all foolGsuss saGy, Oh my GFod C G F C G(This pattern continues for the next two verses) Oh my God, why are we so afraid' We make it worse when we don't bleed, There is no cure for our disease, Turn a phrase, and rise again, Or fake your death, and only tell, your closest friends, Oh my God Oh my God, can I complain' You take away my firm belief And graft my soul upon your grief Weddings, boats, and alibis, All drift away And a mother cries (Here it is silent until noted.

At the end, let the last chord ring out, and it gives a great on the meaning of the song. Enjoy! Eric Bersin
