View Guitar Chords for Honest - chords ver. 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honest - Kodaline -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: thetcutkid E-mail: [email protected] Tuning: Standard, no capo Where people seem to be going wrong is assuming the intro and verse chords are Em and Am when they’re actually Dmadd9, Fmaj7 and Am. Look at this live performance by the band www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIoLe7c_iZ0 The guitar is tuned down half a step in the video and there are only glimpses of his fretting hand but you can see that the guitarist is definitely not playing Em. I think he plays the intro like this :- Dmadd9 Fmaj7 Dmadd9 Am e|------0-----------0--------------0----------0-----------------------------| B|------3-----------1--------------3----------1-----------------------------| G|------2-----------2--------------2----------2-----------------------------| D|------3-----------3--------------3----------2-----------------------------| A|------x-----------3--------------x----------0-----------------------------| E|------x-----------x--------------x----------x-----------------------------| When you’re playing Dmadd9, if you fret the B string at the 3rd fret with your little finger but also keep your first finger down at the 1st fret, on the same string, at the same time, it makes the move to Fmaj7 a doddle. As an alternative, I’ve been experimenting with playing the intro with Asus4 instead of the repeat of Dmadd9, so it looks like this :- Dmadd9 Fmaj7 Asus4 Am e|------0-----------0--------------0----------0-----------------------------| B|------3-----------1--------------3----------1-----------------------------| G|------2-----------2--------------2----------2-----------------------------| D|------3-----------3--------------2----------2-----------------------------| A|------x-----------3--------------0----------0-----------------------------| E|------x-----------x--------------x----------x-----------------------------| Again, play the B string at the 3rd fret with your little finger but also keep your first finger down at the 1st fret for a super smooth change to Am. I’ll put the chords up over the full song below the way I play it, as to my ear, there’s also an additional couple of chords further on. Hope this helps someone.
