xB.O.B Feat. Bruno Mars - Nothin on You
One of the other posts was close, but I think I have the song a step further.
Standard Tuning,
then put a capo on the third fret.
There are only four chords throughout the entire song:
(To make things easier, I am calling them by their basic chord)
C Em Bm D
--3-------3-------2----2--------------------------|
--3-------3-------3----3--------------------------|
--0-------0-------4----2--------------------------|
--2-------2-------4----0--------------------------|
--3-------2-------2----0--------------------------|
--0-------0-------0----0--------------------------|
For the C and E minor chords, you can jazz it up with what the piano/synth is playing by
this (not as easy as playing straight chords). These are 8th notes
C Em
--3--3----3---3----3----3-------------3--3---3--3---3--3-------------|
--3--0----3---0----3----0-------------3--0---3--0---3--0-------------|
--0--0----0---0----0----0---2--0------0--0---0--0---0--0----2--0-----| Then Bm and D
--0--0----0---0----0----0-------------2--2---2--2---2--2-------------|
--2--2----2---2----2----2-------------2--2---2--2---2--2-------------|
--3--3----3---3----3----3-------------0--0---0--0---0--0-------------|
You can have a lead guitar do that piano part if you aren't comfortable
String
e --------------------------------|
B --3--0--3--0--3--0--------------|
G ------------------------2--0----|
D --------------------------------|
A --------------------------------|
E --------------------------------|
Repeat again and then you can do something
for the Bm and D chords, although this part is entirely subjective.
They arent part of the song, but they make it more fun if you are playing it!
Bm D
String
e -2----2-----2----2---3---5-----5-----5------5-|
B ---3-----3----3--------------3-----3-----3----|
G ----------------------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------------------|
A ----------------------------------------------|
E ----------------------------------------------|
Hold that last note on the e string until the phrase starts over, or add a little
lick to pass the time!
That is essentially the whole song. Listen to the song for where the chords fit, it is
self-explanatory.
