Artist: Ollie Gabriel
Title: Running Man
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
Difficulty: Novice
Capo 3 or 4, depending on which version you're listening to.
The original video is at capo 4, but there's a youtube video of him playing piano solo where capo 3 is right.
This is the version I play on my acoustic guitar.
Chords used:
Bm = x24432
A = x02220
D = xx0323
This is a very easy song, what makes the song cool is the kind of rhythm and strumming,
which is like this (of course you can alter this):
d = down
u = p
(p) = short pause
| Bm | A | D | A |
| d d (p) u d u d d | d d | d d (p) u d u d d | d d |
The whole song goes like this, no surprises, but during the bridge ("feet, don't fail me now...")
you can alter the strumming a bit though to bring in some tension (muting and so...)
