Standard tuning. Capo on 2. Chords relative to the capo (eg "A" is really B). Song is
simple, but requires the ability to play barre chords.
Couple of notes:
The only nonstandard chord, Aadd4/F#, is pretty easy. It's just:
E 0
B 2
G 2
D 0
A 0
E 2
All she's doing is playing a normal open-position A major chord,
and moving her finger from the D string to the low E string.
(You could think of it as a F#m7add6, but it's easier to think
about as an A chord given how you play it).
Also, in the chorus and bridge, when she's playing Bm C#m D, the D chord
is a barred D on the fifth fret, not an open D chord like she plays in the verse.
A
The raindrops on the roof of the car
Aadd4/F#
Sound like a warning
A
I'm alone in the backseat
And in the clouded sky a pondering star
Aadd4/F#
Waits for morning
A
To go back to sleep
D F#m
There's a great big world out there
E Bm
Of good and bad and everything in between
D F# E
I've got my own small world in here
Bm E
Of happy and sad and the little I have seen
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
A
The silent lamppost bows down its head
Aadd4/F#
Encircled by darkness
A
With time on its side
And when everyone I know are in bed
Aadd4/F#
My light shines the sharpest
A
Across the divide
D F#m
There's a deep blue sea out there
E Bm
Of birth and death and the lovely mess in between
D F# E
I've got my own short life in here
Bm E
Going to God-knows-where in this fast machine
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
Bm C#m D Bm C#m D
Keep driving, keep driving
(then you just keep the Bm C#m D groove through:)
Bm C# D
Through the city, past the billboards
Bm C# D
Selling hope to hopeless souls
Bm C# D
To the outskirts where every locked door
Bm C# D
Has seen things that no-one knows
Bm C# D
Past the beaches where the wind blows
Bm C# D
And the waves caress the shore
Bm C# D
Through the forest where a tree grows
Bm C# D
For two hundred years or more
Bm C# D
A
The raindrops on the roof of the car
Aadd4/F#
Sound like a warning
A
I'm alone in the backseat
And in the clouded sky a lonesome star
Aadd4/F#
Waits for morning
A
To go back to sleep
And that's it. Now if anyone can figure out Rebel Song I'll be greatly appreciative.
Corrections welcome.
