Parachute
by Guster
This is actualy played with the guitar tuned as an open D chord
(D,A,F#,D,A,D), but I Hate to tune my guitar up and down, so
therefore is this version played on guitar with standard tuning
(But I have to admit, that it sounds better the other way, and
if you really like to play this song, you should try it that way)
The intro can be play as D followed by a Dsus4
e ---2---2^3-2---2^3--- and so on... Listen to the song and you will
b ---3---3---3---3----- easily learn the rhythm
g ---2---2---2---2-----
d ---0---0---0---0-----
a ---x---x---x---x-----
E ---x---x---x---x-----
D D D/F# D/G Also here listen to the song and learn the rhythm.
e ------2-------2-------2-------2----- Use your thumb to play the bass on the E-sting,
b ------3-------3-------3-------3----- or use your index finger to cover both the e- and
g ------2-------2-------2-------2----- g-string (your ring finger on the b-sting of
d --0---0---0---0-------0-------0----- course), and use the middle finger to play the bass.
a ------x-------x-------x-------x----- Or use a third way. Just make it sound good...
E ------x-------x---2--(2)--3--(3)----
D D D/F# D/G
There we stand about to fly
D D D/F# D/G
Peeking down over land parachute behind
D D D/F# D/G
What was that moment for which we live?
D D D/F# D/G (A)
Without a parachute about to dive
Chorus:
A G
I find myself convincing
A G
Blindly falling faster
(G) D A
How easy Ohhh oh
(A) G
Know the place I'm leaving
(G) D Dsus4 (as intro)
And the rest just is gone
Verse: (as the first)
Oh the adoration
But how much strength does it take
For exploration, for split decision
Or are you stronger to remain
Chorus:
A G
I find myself convincing
A G
Blindly falling faster
(G) D A
How easy Ohhh oh
(A) G
Know the place I'm leaving
(G) D Dsus4 (as intro)
And the rest just is gone
The following B-part is just changing between D and G, but the second
guitar has this little thing going on, which sounds really good. I think
this way of playing it, is pretty close...
when the D-chord is played: When the G-chord is played:
--5-----5-----5------ --7-----7-----7--------
----3-----3-----3---- ----7-----7-----7------
--------------------- ------7-----7-----7---- Both repeated as many
------4-----4-----4-- ----------------------- times as needed
--------------------- -----------------------
--------------------- -----------------------
B-part
D
It crept up on me
Ignored all my pleas
G
Begging to leave
No justice to name me
D
Fell out of the sky
Cease it to be
G
Without a reply
Gravity fails me
D
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
G
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
D
Opened the door
Knew what was me
G
I finally realized
Parachute over me
Chords used:
D D/F# D/G Dsus4 G A
e -2---2-----2----3----3---0------
b -3---3-----3----3----3---2------
g -2---2-----2----2----0---2------
d -0---0-----0----0----0---2------
a -x---x-----x----x----2---0------
E -x---2-----3----x----3---x------
If you wanna use the original tuning the chord are:
D D* D/F# D/G Dsus4 G A
d -0-or-0----0-----0----0----0---2-----------
a -5----0----5-----5----0----2---4-----------
f# -3----0----3-----3----1----1---3-----------
d -0----0----0-----0----0----0---2-----------
a -0----0----0-----0----0----2---0-----------
d -0----0----4-----5----0----0---0-----------
I Use the ordenary D in the verse, and the D* in the B-part and in the intro (with the Dsus4)
or just do what think sounds best
The finger picking thing sounds, with the original tuning, good this way:
when the D-chord is played: When the G-chord is played:
--7-----7-----7------ --9-----9-----9--------
----5-----5-----5---- ----9-----9-----9------ (also here)
------0-----0-----0-- ----------------------- Both repeated as many
--------------------- ------9-----9-----9---- times as needed
--------------------- -----------------------
--------------------- -----------------------
That was it... enjoy this fine song
