XTC-Chalkhills and Children Tabbed By: Matt Skeefe ([email protected]) The beautiful ending piece to "Oranges and Lemons" by Partridge and Company, featuring some atmospheric jazz chords on the keyboards. This is how I play it acoustically. Below are my preferred voicings (Low E to High E), though they are mostly barre chords, anyway. It's not as hard to memorize as you think: C: 8-10-10-9-8-x Bbmaj7: 6-x-7-7-6-5 Fsus4: x-8-10-10-11-x Fmaj7 (Verse): x-8-10-9-10-x Eb: x-6-8-8-8-x Dm9: x-5-3-5-3-0 Ebmaj7: x-x-1-3-3-3 Em: x-x-2-0-0-5 (Open high E if you can't stretch) Fmaj7 (Pre-Chorus): x-x-3-5-5-5 Ebmaj7 in Chorus: x-6-8-7-8-6 Dm7: x-5-7-5-6-5 C#maj7: x-4-6-5-6-4 Fmaj7 (Chorus): 1-x-2-2-1-0 C/F: 1-3-2-0-1-0 (Use thumb on the low F) Bmaj7/F: 1-1-3-2-3-1 F: 1-3-3-2-1-1 Ab6: x-3-1-1-1-1 Fm6/C: x-3-0-1-1-1 C#maj7/6: x-4-6-5-6-6 Abmaj7/Eb: x-6-5-5-4-4 Verse:CI'm floating over strange land Bbmaj7It's a soCulless sequinFsus4ed showbizFmaj7 Eb Bbmaj7moon...Pre-Chorus:Dm9But I'm getting Ebmaj7higher wEmafted up by Fmaj7fames fickle fire til the...Chorus:Ebmaj7Chalkhills and Dm7children anchor my C#maj7feet...
