Turin Brakes – Average Man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm,
you’ll get it soon enough :)
Chords:
Bm Am Em F#5 D G
E|-2---0---0---x---2---3---
B|-3---1---0---x---3---0---
G|-4---2---0---x---2---0---
D|-4---2---2---4---0---0---
A|-2---0---2---4---0---2---
E|-2---x---0---2---x---3---
Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F#5 if you’re planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :)

Verse 2:
Bm Am
Alone on a motorway
Em F#5
you catch you're breath
Bm Am
Cat's eyes lead everyway

Still alive, still sincere

inside the scheme...
